Goldmine Nectarine
This is the old white-fleshed Nectarine, ripens late February-March here and has intense rich flavour, but most important of all is fairly resistant to leaf curl. It needs special care with water and well fertilized to produce sweet plump fruit. In good conditions it will rewards you with a huge amount of fruit. Ideal for eating fresh, preserves, pies or frozen as halved fruit. Reliable cropper. When pruned can stay small - 3m but if allowed will head up to 5m.
