Product Description

White flesh and melt-in-your-mouth flavor
Excellent for fresh eating, canning and baking
Produces dependable yields
Ripens in mid to late June
Resistant to bacterial spot
Self-pollinating

Yumm Yumm nectarine is the best nectarine we've tasted. It combines the high sugar levels and sweetness of a white peach with the zingy flavor of a nectarine. It also has a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that you'll never find in a grocery store nectarine. Unlike peaches, Yumm Yumm's fruits have no fuzz. They ripen as early as mid to late June. This wonderful white-fleshed nectarine is great for canning, baking and fresh eating. Yumm Yumm is self-pollinating and resistant to bacterial spot. A dependable yielder, it produces annual crops. 800 chill hours are required for a successful harvest. Zones 5-8.

Now available in Reachables size! A Reachables tree produces full-sized fruits on a smaller tree. It's easier to fit into your garden or orchard, even a container will do fine! Thanks to state-of-the-art rootstock technology, these trees remain manageable throughout their life cycle, so a single person can prune, spray, net and harvest the tree, all while standing on the ground. No ladders required! Note: Because the full-sized fruits grow on smaller sized trees, Reachables require a tree support.

NOTE: We are unable to ship our trees to PO Boxes at this time.

Listen to why this is a Niles’ favorite!

PruningNectarine trees need to be pruned to optimize fruit production and allow sunlight 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 allows light to penetrate to lower branches.

Soil RequirementsLoamy Soil, Sandy Soil
