Nectarine flowering

[The Griff]

My nectarine tree in my conservatory has just burst into flower with dozens of buds ready to open.
Will it pollinate it's self or do I have to manually do it with a little brush?

I think they are pollinated by bees so you might need to get busy with a paintbrush pretending to be a bee! Sound effects are optional.

I think to be on the safe side you should mimic a bee in every way possible Something like this

After putting my wings on and my stripy shirt, apart from making a buzzing noise what do I actually do with the brush?
Do just dab the inside of the flower with a brush then dab another one and keep doing this until I have done them all?

Yes, or put it outside in the sun and with a bit of luck the bumble bees will do it for you. They are going mad on my heathers.

It's been blowing a gale here for the last week, cloudy and been raining the last couple of days, not much chance of any sun at the moment and too windy for bees.
I could maybe try a sun dance whilst dressed as a bee, not sure what the neighbours would think though.

Might give them something to talk about!!!
