Harko nectarine is a self-pollinating, reliabl e variety that consistently produces high yields of juicy luscious fruit. With its showy and fragrant pink blossoms Harko nectarine also makes a great addition to an edible landscape. The fruit is large with burgundy, gold-splotched skin and tender, mouthwatering flesh. Slightly sweeter than a peach, they have a more pronounced floral flavor and pleasant tanginess. Harko is ready for harvest in late July. The fruit is freestone and delicious eaten fresh but can be preserved and substituted for peaches in a variety of culinary creations. If you live in a region with a wet and humid climate like the West Coast, growing peaches nectarines and apricots can be quite a challenge. However, with the right measures, you can still successfully grow these sun-loving stonefruits.We recommend training the trees in an espalier style, fanned out on a South-facing wall that receives full sun exposure while also providing coverage from the elements. This approach will help prevent diseases like leaf curl, and ensure that your trees consistently produce high yields of sweet and luscious fruit. Show more
