Peaches and nectarines grow really well in Melbourne as we have the perfect mild climate and a nice cold winter. If you live in a frost prone area make sure you cover them with a shade cloth to protect the leaves.
Nectarines and Peaches will require plenty of sun and also plenty of organic matter in the soil. So grab a bag of compost before planting .
To get good large fruit, thin excess fruit after fruit set and keep the tree well watered as fruit is growing. Thinning fruit also helps avoid brown rot.
For eating, peaches and nectarines are best left on the tree until ripe as their flavour is far more intense. Fruit picked while firm is fantastic for cooking and will still ripen away from the tree.
