A very beautiful heirloom apple that stores well.
Fantasia Nectarine on Nemaguard (Spring 2025)
A widely-grown, large, yellow-fleshed nectarine.
The tree produces a showy midseason bloom. It is slightly susceptible to bacterial spot. This variety is self-fertile and it does not require a second variety as a pollenizer.
Ripening late midseason, Fantasia is a large, bright red nectarine with freestone flesh. The fruit is firm and juicy with a tangy flavor. It continues to sweeten if allowed to fully ripen on the tree.
