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.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

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.
