Roughly November to March, on almost the same window as the plums and usually in the same booking. This is the other half of what a Chilean lane page means by “stone fruit”, and it sits directly opposite Spain’s summer programme on the calendar.

Nectarines and peaches are the least tolerant thing Chile ships in volume — softer than a plum, picked at a ripeness chosen for the voyage, and unforgiving of a setpoint that drifted. On a four-week lane the fruit’s condition on arrival was decided by what the reefer actually did, not by what the schedule said.
