The Harko Nectarine is a hardy nectarine, with red skinned, yellow fleshed fruit ripening in mid-August. This freestone nectarine is of good quality and flavor. It is a consistent producer, with no split pits. It tends to overbear, so it must be thinned hard and early in order to get good fruit size.
It is the most adaptable of all fruit trees for home gardens, Harko is a delightfully decorative tree that will produce frilly pink blossoms in the spring.
