Superb white-fleshed Rose Nectarine Tree (Prunus persica var. nucipersica 'Rose') is a fan favorite fruit tree with incredibly super-sweet white flesh and a red-blushed smooth skin that's a treat to bite into on a hot summer day, still fresh and warm from the sun!

Your tree's gorgeous spring blooms erupt in shades of pink and are fragrant enough to catch the eye of butterflies and beneficial pollinators! The handsome foliage fills out the canopy to become the perfect backdrop for the large delectable fruit that adorns every branch!

Rose Nectarines ripen around July to August, depending on your climate. These sweet and plump fruits are ideal for fresh eating, but also all the baked goods, smoothies and preserves you can imagine too! For even larger crops, which we're sure you'll want after one bite, plant your self-fertile Rose Nectarine with another similar variety of Nectarine for even larger crops per tree!

Planting and Application:

The Rose Nectarines' smaller size and compact shape enable them to fit into smaller modern lots and existing orchards with ease! Pot up in large planters for fresh fruit access on your porch, patio or even a sun-drenched balcony! Or simply plant among your perennials or as a shade and accent tree in foundation plantings or garden beds.

Readily replacing any flowering tree, these ornamental fruit trees are double-duty and enable you to easily use these trees anywhere in the landscape. Keep the lower limbs on your tree and enjoy dense privacy that feeds you, or living friendly fences the neighbors won't mind being screened by!
