best nectarines ever
Reviewed By: Jon (Albany, NY)
The fruit is amazing. They produced 125 nectarines in the third year. If you love nectarines buy this tree. These were the best I have ever had and you will love them too.

I recommend this one...
Reviewed By: Alicia (Winchester, CA)
We are very impressed with this tree! It has grown so quickly in just two years since we have had it. It has already passed up the other two trees we had purchased at the garden center in height, and the fruit is excellent!
