About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An early ripening, highly aromatic nectarine that delivers its first fruits as soon as late July to early August. The medium-sized, almost fully red fruits have firm yellow flesh and a strongly spicy flavour. Self-fertile, so a single tree is enough. Like most nectarines it is susceptible to peach leaf curl; a sunny, airy site helps to prevent it.
Firm, juicy yellow flesh, sweet and spicy with a lively acidity and intense aroma.
