Panamint Nectarine
The Panamint Nectarine is an excellent choice for mild climates, known for producing abundant, freestone nectarines with smooth red skin and sweet, juicy yellow flesh. This deciduous tree ripens early, typically yielding fruit from early to mid-summer. It features fragrant pink flowers in early spring, followed by dark green foliage that turns yellow and orange in the fall. Reaching a mature height and spread of 20 feet, it requires full sun and well-drained soil to thrive. While self-pollinating, this high-maintenance variety is susceptible to late spring freezes and disease, necessitating regular care and late winter pruning.
