'Red Gold' Nectarine Trees

Red Gold nectarine trees are vigorous and productive fruit trees, known for their large, vibrant red-and-gold-skinned nectarines. Their tangy, honey-flavoured fruit has yellow flesh that is firm and juicy, making them ideal for fresh eating, baking, or preserves. The fruit ripen in mid to late summer and the trees thrive in a warm, sunny location. This variety of nectarine is freestone, meaning the flesh does not cling to the pit, making them easy to eat and process.

Red Gold nectarine trees feature fragrant, dark pink blossoms in early spring, adding to their ornamental value. 

Red Gold is widely planted and ranks among the top varieties of nectarines for home gardens. It is self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to produce fruit.

Protecting peaches, nectarines and apricots from rain in spring is crucial to prevent peach leaf curl, a fungal disease that thrives in wet and cool conditions. We recommend planting these trees in a location where they will get lots of sun and heat, but be protected from rain. An example would be up against the south wall of a home, under the overhang of the roof.
