How often should you water a nectarine tree?
Once every 10 days or two weeks is plenty. Worse than dry, thirsty roots is waterlogged, drowning roots. Although a little depression in the soil aids summer watering, it's important to bring the soil around the tree up to the level of the surrounding soil for the winter.

How far do nectarine tree roots spread?
Peach and nectarine trees do well in a variety of soils. A rooting depth of about 4 feet and well-drained soil is preferred.
Can nectarines grow in shade?
Nectarines in Shade
Nectarines grown in partial shade have dramatically reduced crops. In addition, nectarine trees that are grown in shade are often less healthy and more susceptible to disease. Nectarine buds need at least 30 percent sunlight to produce high quality fruit.
Can fruit tree roots damage Foundation?
Apple tree roots can grow up to twice as large as the canopy is wide and compete for nutrients, water and oxygen with nearby plants. However, apple tree roots are not invasive or aggressive, and do not have the strength to cause foundation damage to homes or invade sewer pipes.
