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).
