About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Flat nectarine (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) seeds produce perennial seedling fruit trees related to peaches. The parent fruit shown has a flat form, but seed-grown offspring can vary and are not guaranteed to reproduce the same fruit shape, color, size, flavor, or other traits.
Grow in full sun with fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Follow packet guidance for cold-moist preparation, then provide even moisture, strong light, and enough space for established seedlings to develop.
