dwarf nectarine
Prunus persica var. nectarina STARK SUNGLO
Overview
The Dwarf Nectarine (Prunus persica var. nectarina STARK SUNGLO) is an incredibly hardy and productive variety of fruit tree. Growing between 12-15 feet in height, it will easily fit into yards with limited space. Its fragrant, white blossoms provide an early spring show, and in late summer, its delicious fruits can be harvested. The outsides of the fruits are a vibrant, almost electric yellow, while the insides are a brilliant pink. It is self-fertile and needs no other varieties as pollinators. Thanks to its generally disease-resistant properties and relative ease of care, it is becoming a popular choice for gardeners and homesteaders alike.
