Nectarine Tree
This image shows the branches and leaves of the Nectarine Tree (Prunus persica nectarina). Some of the branches had to be cut during pruning season to encourage the tree to grow and be healthy. Why does the fruit of this tree only grow during particular months? Maybe only warm temperatures keep it healthy. What causes the differences between nectarines and apricot, which also belongs to the Prunus plant family? Possibly there is a difference in the genes of the different fruits. This tree is an example of the ecosystem services we can control on our own. This tree provides fruit which in turn serves as nourishment to the people who eat it. This picture was taken in Downers Grove in September 2018
