Royal Giant Nectarine Tree
Description
This overachieving nectarine can be as big as an apple! This is one of the most popular varieties planted by commercial growers in California. The yellow-fleshed fruit is big, sweet, tangy and juicy. They are often found in grocery stores, but once you’ve tasted them at their peak, you’ll only want these nectarines homegrown. Clingstone. Developed in Modesto, California, introduced in 1977. Ripens in August. Self-pollinating.
