'Madame Blanchette' Nectarine Tree Reviews

A truly wonderful nectarine tree, 'Madame Blanchette' is (confusingly, given the name) a Dutch variety that's been around for almost a century. This tree is areal feature piece in and of itself, with pretty, delicate foliage and dainty pink, springtime blossoms preceding the appearance of bright red, juicy fruits. Although it doesn't produce the biggest nectarines you'll ever see, the fruits of 'Madame Blanchette' are still sumptuously sweet and fabulously refreshing. This variety carries good frost resistance, making it a reliable cropper even in the colder areas of the UK. Your nectarines will be ready to harvest in August; eat them fresh or slice, grill and serve in a burrata salad. This tree is self-fertile, meaning you'll get a good crop of fruit without a pollination partner.
