Perfect Pollinator for Sugar Pearls

Honey Pearls™ Nectacot Tree

Perfect Pollinator for Sugar Pearls

Unique nectarine/apricot hybrid
Late bloom time avoids late frost damage
Harvest in July

We spent years looking for the best match to our favorite apricot, Sugar Pearls, so you can imagine our elation when we discovered this scrumptious variety was the perfect pollinator! Sweetly aromatic, richly flavorful and juicy, this new nectacot has its own attributes. Very late bloom time avoids damaging late frost which leads to heavy yields of crack-free fruit. Delectable nectacots have ambrosial, deep orange flesh and red-blushed skin, ripening to perfection in July. 700-800 chill hours are required for a successful harvest. Zones 4-7. PP27166.

Why buy a Deluxe package - Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. of Fruit-Boost™ Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties (see video below), a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.
