Rose Princess Nectarine Tree
Description
Many people prefer white-flesh peaches over yellow-flesh. If you’re one of those (even if you’re not), you can enjoy this large, white-flesh nectarine. Its flavor is sweet and mild, like that of a peach, and there’s no fuzz. And the flesh easily pops off its freestone pit. The tree is quite vigorous and productive. It’s also winter hardy and moderately resistant to bacterial leaf spot. Fruit ripens in late July in Zone 5.

My Hardiness Zone
?
The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatibility range of this variety before ordering.
Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!
