Description
Nectar Babe is a US-bred dwarf nectarine that brings full-size nectarine flavour to the smallest garden, growing only about 1.5 m tall. The medium-sized fruit have smooth, vibrant red skin with juicy, succulent flesh that parts from the stone, ripening around March. Deep-pink blossoms add spring display. It is self-fertile, though cropping can be even better planted near other nectarines or peaches. Perfect for large pots, courtyards, and sheltered sunny corners with fertile, well-drained soil.
