Honey Kist Nectarine

Prunus ‘Honey Kist’

The Honey Kist Nectarine is a yellow-skinned fruit that ripens early in the season, featuring ruby, pink, and gold hues. It has a high sugar content and low acidity, making it a sweet and delicious nectarine. It ripens in late June in Central California and requires 500 hours of chill time. This self-fruitful variety is a great choice for those who love yellow nectarines as it has a sweet flavor that rivals many other yellow nectarines that ripen later in the season. It is recommended to begin picking before the fruit becomes too soft, as subacid varieties are good to eat even before they reach peak ripeness. The Honey Kist Nectarine is self-fruitful and requires no other trees for pollination.
