[Arid_gardener] nectarines not producing

[Linda Drew]

GOLDMINE NECTARINE -
        Large. White skin with red blush. Juicy, sweet, white flesh,
        excellent flavor. Freestone. 
Good for home use. (400 hrs) Ripens: Early
        August. 15 ft.+

Nectarines need some winter chilling to produce good crops.

Some varieties adapted in Arizona are listed:

Gilbert is in Zone 1, so it sounds like the tree should bear fruit based on the
chilling requirement.

Watering is another critical factor. Check tht the tree is getting adequate water as it is setting and growing fruit.
