Can anyone give me some information on these?

How to grow them etc..........

It all depends on where you are, just like any other semi-tropical fruit.
In England you'd have to have a biggish winter-heated greenhouse, the same
is if you wished to grow oranges. By the time you had cultivated them and
brought them to fruiting age it would have to be for fun because you would
be well out of pocket, which is why not many people grow, say, peaches.,
for instance..

Actually peaches/Nectarines are easy to grow, and not at all expensive -
though you'll not provide a large crop :-)

I have a dwarf nectarine in a pot, spends the summer outside, moved
into and unheated GH in winter, as long as care is taken to pollinate
the flowers (they flower early, and in the GH, so not many insects)
