Nectarines don’t need another tree for cross Pollination?

that’s my understanding Veg.

We have a area in the House Paddock, where we pump the water from the pit in the shed, Thinking of a rasied mound for the fruit trees, would get plenty of water, might get water logged.

you would need to make sure they don’t get too wet.

Nectarines are self pollinating. Usually grafted onto peach stock; peaches hate waterlogging.

When discussing waterlogging .. You must have a fair idea of the amount of water hanging around on the site. You should also have a fair idea of the soil type and depth, local geology etc.

Have you done tests for water table depth and kept records?

all depends on how often we pump to there, engouh to leave tracks with a wheel barrow and trailer.

So, how far back to dry land? does the soil level have high spots?

not even 3ms (drive way its near it and shed) Yes the soil does have a few high spots.

Our clay goes down about 1 – 1.5 metres to rotted granite, very free-draining apparently…you couldn’t dig a hole and backfill with good sandy loam, could you?

That’s what one of the neighbours did (a farmer, heaps of machinery to choose from) and his citrus trees never looked back…until the cull because of the citrus canker, of course…

Can dig holes there and raise a bit up for a tree.

if you are going to plant there I would definitely make a raised bit for the tree

Would raise it up if I planted it some where else as well BG.

At least choose closer to the road or as far away from bog as you can. building a hole full of carted in soil may well work for a citrus tree but not necessarily a peach/nectarine.

Citrus are happy surface feeders.
The prunus family want a good deep root run before they hit water.
