Spice Zee NectaPlum is a remarkable hybrid fruit tree that artfully combines the sweetness of nectarines, the juiciness of peaches, and the rich flavor of plums. Known for its stunning appearance, the tree features dark pink flowers and vibrant red leaves during the spring, making it a beautiful ornamental addition to any garden. The fruit ripens to a delicate pale pink, boasting an exceptional taste that is both fragrant and juicy, perfect for fresh eating or a variety of culinary creations. Whether you enjoy them straight off the tree, sliced in salads, baked in pies, or blended into smoothies, the possibilities are endless. With a relatively low requirement for chill hours (200-300), this self-fertile tree is adaptable to various climates. Spice Zee NectaPlum bears fruit approximately 2-3 years after planting, with a potential yield of over 50 pounds, making it a productive choice for home orchards.
Thrives best in full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to ensure healthy growth and abundant fruiting. It prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter, which helps support robust root development. Deep watering is crucial, particularly during the establishment period and in dry spells, with drip irrigation being an effective method to promote deep root growth.
