Captain Crunch™ Nectarine Tree

Neat to Eat Nectarine

  • Revolutionary Indulgence
  • Perfect Texture Balance
  • Long-Lasting Freshness
Experience a revolution in nectarine indulgence with our "Neat to Eat" Captain Crunch nectarine, where every bite is a crispy delight. Imagine the perfect balance of sweetness and moisture, captured in a firm texture that won't lose its integrity even when fully ripe. Our unique variety was developed to hold its luscious juiciness, ensuring a mess-free, crisp bite every time. But the magic doesn't stop there. Captain Crunch is not only a pleasure to savor straight from the tree, but also boasts an incredible shelf life. They'll hang ripe on the branch, waiting patiently for you, and even after picking, they stay fresh in your fridge for weeks. And the taste? A bold, tangy nectarine flavor perfect for the modern, busy gardener who loves a fusion of convenience and intense flavor, our Captain Crunch nectarine is a testament to our dedication to innovation and quality at Gurney's Seed & Nursery Co. Get ready for a nectarine experience that's truly out of the ordinary!

  • Pruning: Nectarine trees need to be pruned to optimize fruit production and allow light into the tree. Most home gardeners do not prune their trees enough. Pruning encourages new growth and shapes the tree. Prune nectarines hard, removing most of the previous year's growth. Fruit will be produced on the previous year's wood, so leave enough to ensure a good crop, but not overburden the tree. Removing interior branches opens up the tree and allowing sunlight to penetrate to lower branches.
  • Foliage: Long narrow dark green leaves
