Spice Zee NectaPlum is the first ever nectarine-peach-plum hybrid. Fruits ripen to a pale pink when fully ripe and the ripe fruit is unparalleled in flavor, having notes of both nectarine and plum! The dark pinkish purple blooms and red leaves in spring make Spice Zee a very ornamental tree. Has low chill hour requirements (200-300 hours) but very adaptable to areas with high chill hours.
As a deciduous tree, do not provide supplemental water in the Winter while dormant. Start watering regularly in the Spring once the tree leafs out. Most newly planted trees need water once per week, then increase the frequency to twice per week once the weather becomes hot in the Summer. Fall bring lower temperatures, thus a reduction in water frequency. Reduce frequency until water is discontinued in the Winter.
Fertilize nectaplum trees with organic fruit tree fertilizers such as bone meal, blood meal, humus, and manure. Provide manure and higher phosphorus and potassium fertilizers like bone meal in the Winter before Spring growth along with manure. Apply higher nitrogen fertilizers like blood meal and other granular fertilizers in the Spring and Summer growing season.
Prune fruit trees in the Winter to maintain size and shape to prepare for Spring growth. Thin the tree in the Summer, and remove excess fruits. Remove any dry twigs and branches. Cut off any new growth below the graft or very low in the tree, this will direct the plant’s energy to its main branches. Thin your trees during the Spring and Summer seasons to ensure the plant’s energy is directed as desired. If the plant provides an overly large quantity of fruits for that branch, reduce the quantity of fruit so that what remains grows larger. This will also prevent broken limbs. Harvest ripe fruit to prevent undesired pests.
Keep them small and manageable with size control pruning each summer. Decide how high and wide you want them, and hold them at that size.
