This nectarine tree is vigorous, consistently productive, and cold hardy, with demonstrated flower bud survival at 5° F. Amoore Sweet has shown resistance to bacterial spot, but, like most nectarines, it is susceptible to brown rot, and application of a fungicide is recommended in all areas where brown rot occurs. Nectarine trees are self-fertile and do not require a second variety as a pollenizer.

The fruit ripens early-mid season (5 days after Bradley, or 6 days after Arlington). It is medium sized with a yellow-orange skin that is blushed red, and yellow clingstone flesh. It holds up exceptionally well in storage and the fruit is considered to be of excellent quality. Amoore Sweet is a low-acid nectarine, with non-melting flesh that is highly flavored with somewhat tropical notes.

Amoore (pronounced amóray) Sweet and its sibling Bowden come from the peach and nectarine breeding program at the University of Arkansas, which has also produced Arrington, Bradley, Effie, and Westbrook. This program aims to produce peach and nectarine cultivars suitable for commercial production and sales. Amoore Sweet is named in honor of professor James M. Moore, who directed the fruit breeding program at the University of Arkansas between 1964 and 1996. Amoore Sweet was released in 2012.
