Description
- Few things are better than biting into a ripe nectarine on a sweltering summer’s day, and ‘Red Gold’ nectarines are up there with the very best!
- Juicy and sweet with subtle tart notes, ‘Red Gold’ nectarines are large, freestone (meaning that the pit comes easily away from the fruit’s flesh) and utterly delicious.
- The appearance of the fruit is preceded by glorious pink, springtime blossoms that help elevate any garden.
- These low-maintenance trees are a doddle to grow and like nothing more than to be trained into a fan shape against a sunny, south-facing wall.
- Eat your nectarines fresh, soak them in Muscat wine or bake into a decadent, nutty crumble.
- Like all peach and nectarine trees, ‘Red Gold’ is self-fertile, meaning you only need one tree in order to bear fruit (you don’t need a pollination partner).
