It must be a warm environment. Frosts should be watched out for and prepared for ahead of time. Have some sort of covering for the plants or way to keep them warm, such as a constant watering mist on them so they do not freeze. The soil should also be a little loamy.

Nectarines are a fairly hardy tree, and under the right conditions, it should grow healthy and tall. They like sun light, but not really hot areas. They require a lot of water, build a large well around it and fill it at least once a day, especially when fruiting. Trim the branches and suckers every year for optimum growth.

It needs lot of sunlight and good alluvial soil. When it is growing prun the branches to avoid clumpsy spreadings. Add natural manures and compost. Watering should be normal otherwise it will kill the plant. As for as possible avoid using chemicals as fertilizers or insecticides. Check the quality of the soil beore planting the tree.

To grow nectarines, you will have to make sure that you plant the tree in a wide area because of the amount of space the tree takes. You will have to cultivate the soil on a regular basis because it helps facilitate growth of the nectarines. Also, water on a daily basis.
