About Nectarine

Nectarines are fuzz-free peaches — a self-fertile stone fruit that rewards you with sweet fruit on a beautiful small tree, but needs careful pruning and frost protection.

Plant a bare-root tree in a sunny, well-drained spot. Prune annually for an open center. Thin fruit for size. Most grafted trees bear within 2-3 years.
