The Goldmine Nectarine (Prunus Persica) is a beloved, classic cultivar known for producing medium-sized, white-fleshed nectarines with a vibrant orange-red skin over a green background. These nectarines are highly regarded for their sweet, rich flavour, making them perfect for fresh eating, conserves, fruit salads, and more. Harvested in late February to March, the fruit is both delicious and nutritious, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
This self-fertile variety is not only a fantastic fruit-bearing tree but also an excellent ornamental addition to your garden. With attractive pink blossoms in spring, its slender green foliage adds beauty year-round. The Goldmine Nectarine thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. It's also cold and frost tolerant, making it ideal for planting in cooler climates. It can be espaliered against a wall for an elegant display and requires regular pruning for healthy growth and fruit production.
