Nectarine trees

Lord Napier

Lord Napier is an early and large nectarine, reasonably suitable for the sunnier parts of the UK. The skin has a very dark crimson cheek in full sun. Lord Napier is a white-fleshed variety, with a "freestone" - in other words the flesh does not cling to the stone.

Best grown on a south-facing wall if possible, or in a very sunny aspect.

How to grow Lord Napier nectarine trees
