Nectarine tree

I re-potted the nectarine tree into a larger pot - a matching white to mirror the trellised bambino bougainvillea by the shed. In the potting mixtures I used coir, soil, sand and manure. I rested the pot on used bricks to give it more height given that it’s a dwarf nectarine tree. Behind it are two purple bougainvilleas I’m trying to espalier or trim them to a standard. I was inspired by the rows of standard bougainvilleas in large pots decorating the streets of Singapore. They are very well kept – trimmed so neat, bright and cheerful.
