Nectarine trees are not as popular as most other fruit trees, but they are easy to grow and care for. To keep these fruit trees healthy, you should: 1. Keep your trees watered during dry weather to be sure the fruit continues to form properly. 2. Look for signs of the peach tree borer on the trees' trunks. Nectarines are actually a type of peach and are susceptible to this insect. 3. Keep the soil around your nectarine trees mulched to conserve moisture.
