Nectarine Tree Did Not Produce Fruit This Year

Question

I have a dwarf nectarine tree about 10 years old. It has been producing a lot of fruit every year till this year. Did not get a single nectarine. Is this normal or what is wrong. Jim Hoppis [e-mail]

Answer 1

It is important to feed the tree every year, as well as ensure that there are no pests or diseases. These are common causes for lack of production.

Keep in mind that a nectarine tree will only live for about 12 years. With this being said, your tree could be around that age if you bought the tree already established.
