Hey howdy! Hoping you all can help me decide if I should have cut back a newly planted nectarine tree. It was my first purchase for a bare backyard and like a newbie I went for height instead of girth ;)

The peach went in no issues and I haven’t needed to stake but this tall nectarine has been whipped back and forth with the spring storms. (Ignore the bad staking job I was literally doing it in the rain when it was almost leaning to the ground.)

Do I wait until late summer? Do it now?

It was a 5 gallon Smooth Zest 2 (Zesty 2?). Peach is a 5 Gal texstar peach.

Be kind :)
