My Nectarine Tree Progress

[NesOne]

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my tree. I watch alot of the Dave Wilson videos, and have been attempting to follow Tom Spellman's methods.

I purchased the tree from a local nursery (it had the Dave Wilson label on it). It is a Double-Delight Nectarine. It was about 6 feet tall and very skinny. I planted it into the ground in March of 2012, and cut it down to 30" off the ground. I literally used a measuring tape when I did it

Here are some pictures of it's progression:

3/02/14: Spring flowering


04/02/14: Added mulch


4/02/14: Wider shot


I put some typical plant/tree food fertilizer on 3/28/14. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

Bark mulch every year. Its a nectarine (prunus). It will need a spray schedule.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I sprayed it with LiquiCop the 1st week of December, and the 1st week of January.

Thanks! The leaves are starting to come out and I sprayed it this past weekend with a lighter mixture of LiquiCop.
