Unusual Edible for June 2016
Fantasia Nectarine
Whats unusual about this nectarine?  It’s on semi-dwarfing root stock, making it easy to keep to any size you like with pruning or you can let it grow to fifteen feet.  It’s ‘free-stone’, which means its darn easy to get the pit out of the center.  It’s a low chill hour nectarine, needing only 500 hours to produce big yellow delicious fruit.  What else could you ask for? Harvest July through August, the later the harvest, the sweeter the fruit!
