Common name: Rubis Necta Zee Dwarf Nectarine

Description: This exceptional dwarf variety produces smooth-skinned nectarines rather than fuzzy peaches, offering the best of both worlds in a compact package.

The slow-growing nature makes it perfectly suited for pot cultivation and small gardens. This variety combines the convenience of container growing with the luxury of home-grown nectarines, featuring smooth skin and sweet, juicy flesh.
