A quick post before talking about our trip - We harvested our sole nectarine tree a day before we went on our break.
That first yield was in excess of 300 fruits which were quickly distributed to family and friends. We had to do this as the birds were starting to enjoy them.
This is our second harvest and it would be close to 300 again. Me think there's still another 300 on the tree.
This nectarine tree has been prolific every year - it's a white nectarine but lots of flavour even when picked and eaten slightly green. If you wait for it to ripen fully on the tree, you would have to declare World War III on the birds. Very deceptive tree this one. We always think that it will be a low year as it's pruned in winter and spring buds don't look that many.

Nectarines...yummy!
Could you send summer our way?? It's freezing here!
Read any good books lately? What have you been knitting?
The look delicious!
The Possums got most of our nectarine tree's fruit. The birds tried but I could catch them at it. We picked as green as possible from our little dwarf tree.
