Nectarine blossom


The dwarf nectarine is blossoming and looking like candyfloss on a stick. The shadow cast on the green fence brings out the soft pinks of the buds. Apparently, stone fruits do best trained with no central branches. The idea is to let the sun shine into the center of the tree to ripen the fruit from the interior as well as the exterior. With that in mind, I will need to inspect my other trees and prune them before spring arrives.
