Fantasia Nectarine (Prunus persica var. nucipersica)
Fantasia Nectarine is a large, yellow-fleshed, freestone nectarine prized for its firm, tangy fruit that sweetens when allowed to fully ripen on the tree. The bright red-skinned fruit is excellent for fresh eating, baking, canning, freezing, and jams. The fruit tree also blooms beautiful pink flowers in March or April. A widely grown and popular variety, Fantasia produces heavy crops and has been consistently high-scoring in taste tests. The tree is self-fertile, vigorous, and produces reliable annual harvests.
Requirements:
Light: Full sun
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil; moderate fertility required
Key Features:
Mature Size: 12 to 16 feet tall
Harvest Period: August
Wildlife Value: Provides fruit for humans; not typically used for wildlife plantings
Pollination: Self-fertile; does not require another nectarine tree for fruit production
Plant Care:
Fantasia Nectarine thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular pruning and fruit thinning are recommended to maintain tree shape and consistent crop quality. Protect the tree from temperatures below -10°F. Space trees according to rootstock recommendations and monitor for bacterial spot, to which the variety is slightly susceptible. Ideal for home orchards seeking a large, flavorful, and reliable nectarine tree.
