Hi, can anyone please help, on how I can prevent ants and white fly on my nectarine tree please. We have lost all our fruit this year to these pests. Hope you can help and thanks in advance.  Robert.

    I hose them off and use tree grease to prevent them climbing up...

    I agree,  a grease band, to stop the ants. Whitefly are more difficult,  try hanging yellow sticky traps,  if you don't want to use pesticides.  Spray leaves with seaweed tonic, it will toughen them up, and help them resist attack.
