Description

The Double Delight Nectarine offers a double reward: a spectacular floral display in spring followed by a bounty of delicious fruit in summer. This ornamental edible is adorned with gorgeous, fragrant, double pink flowers that resemble roses. When the petals fall, they give way to a heavy crop of medium-sized, deep red nectarines with sweet, juicy, yellow freestone flesh. It’s the perfect tree for a prominent spot in the landscape where you can enjoy its beauty and then harvest its tasty, classic-flavored fruit.

Faqs

Q: Is the fruit quality as good as varieties grown only for fruit?
A: While its flowers are the main highlight, Double Delight produces perfectly tasty, good-quality nectarines for home consumption. For maximum fruit size and yield, dedicated fruit varieties like Fantasia may have an edge, but Double Delight offers unmatched dual-purpose appeal.

Q: Do the double flowers produce nectar for bees?
A: Double flowers often have reduced or inaccessible reproductive parts, making them less valuable for pollinators than single flowers. However, the tree is self-pollinating and will set fruit.
