The Dwarf Early Rivers Nectarine (Prunus Persica) is a popular variety known for its sweet, juicy, and large fruit with a red skin over a yellow background. The tender white flesh is freestone, making it perfect for fresh eating, stewing, jams, cooking, or preserving. This dwarf variety offers the same delicious fruit as its full-sized counterpart but is more compact, making it ideal for backyards, pots, or tubs. With its high crop yield, it is recommended that dwarf trees be staked permanently.
This low-maintenance tree is a great choice for home gardeners, producing a harvest in early December. Its sweet, juicy fruit is perfect for various culinary uses.
