The Royal Gem Nectarine (Prunus Persica) is a classic Australian variety now available as a compact, dwarf tree for home gardeners. This low-maintenance variety produces full-sized, sweet, and crisp fruit, ideal for fresh eating or preserving. Due to the high crop load, we recommend staking dwarf trees permanently to support the abundance of fruit.
Perfect for small gardens, pots, or tubs, this tree has a manageable size and delivers a deliciously aromatic, juicy harvest. The fruit features a deep red skin with a creamy background and firm, pinkish/white semi-freestone flesh. Enjoy the sweet, juicy flavour in various culinary applications, from fresh eating to jams, stews, or drying.
