Nectarine (Prunus persica var. nucipersica)
Prunus persica var. nucipersica
Nectarine
A popular deciduous tree, especially for those who like peaches but don't like the fuzz. Bears a soft sweet fruit in summer. The standard tree can reach 25 ft tall and 20 ft wide.
Closely related to peaches, nectarine trees may be difficult to grow because they are attached by so many diseases and require considerable maintenance but well worth the effort when the fruit is ready to eat.
Select a variety appropriate for your climate.
