Big Top
USA
Vineyard peach
Late July – early August
Big Top is a fruit variety developed by American scientists in 1984, which later became a parent plant for many new cultivars. It ripens three days before Redhaven. Due to its quality and attractive appearance, cultivation of this variety has become widespread in recent years. The fruits are versatile – suitable for fresh consumption, cooking, processing, and preserving. After harvest, the fruits transport easily and can be stored for a long period under proper conditions. The fruit softens very slowly.
The flesh is very juicy, sweet, and of excellent quality.
The fruit is large to very large, with an average weight of over 200 grams, and a perfectly round shape. The skin is smooth, with a bright yellow base color. A glossy, intense red covers the entire surface. The flesh is yellow, with slight red streaks at full ripeness. The suture is barely visible. The skin is thin but strong, with a shiny surface.
Self-pollinating.
Big Top nectarine is frost-resistant, able to withstand temperatures down to -20 to -25°C. During winter, the tree should be protected with deep mulching, forming a mound of mulch and soil to prevent freezing. The variety has high immunity, and the tree is rarely affected by diseases or pests. It is extremely rare for the nectarine to suffer from leaf curl, moniliosis, or fruit rot.
You can purchase seedlings of Nectarine Big Top at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
