Fruit We Grow: Peaches and Nectarines

White nectarine; freestone. A fabulous white nectarine, with lovely sweet flavor and texture. Late July. From our own North Star Orchard fruit breeding program.

White nectarine. Clingstone. A distinct delicious flavor combined with an unusual characteristic called “non-melting flesh”. This means that the fruit will not get super-soft like normal peaches and nectarines do…and that’s ok with this one! Give it a couple of days at room temperature to soften a little…it will have a little bit of “give”…
