HardiRed Nectarine is a vigorous and productive tree that bears loads of deep -red skinned nectarines with a delicious, sweet yellow flesh. It's flavor surpasses anything you will ever buy in supermarket. HardiRed nectarines are superb for eating fresh, desserts, canning or preserves. Any fruit we do not devour when fresh...we just freeze the slightly stewed flesh( no sugar or thickeners) for our winter enjoyment. Productive, reliable and carefree. This variety is disease-resistant (especially to bacterial spot and brown rot) making it easy to grow, and it is very productive — thin the bountiful fruit crop for bigger nectarines. Fruits feature firm, yellow, flavorful flesh.
