Hardired Giant Nectarine Dwarf

Top rated for growers west of the Cascades, this Harrow, Ontario selection ripens early – even in cooler summers – and will excel throughout USDA Zones 5-9. It needs chill hours of 800 or better to fruit. It bears large quantities of red, sweet, tasty, yellow-fleshed fruit in early August.

The tree is attractive and spreading in habit, tolerant of bacterial spot and brown rot, and covered each spring with large, showy pink flowers.
