As dependable and as early to fruit as any Nectarine available, 'Independence' sets the standard in Nectarines for the home garden with a tree that is tough enough to grow well and tender enough to produce outstanding numbers of large, gold brushed with red fruit in mid-July. It will be hard to resist eating these backyard delights right when you pick them with their sweet golden flesh and their juicy nature that will have you looking for a sleeve to wipe your face! Like all Nectarines, 'Independence' blooms early so it should be protected against April and May frosts. Self-fruitful.
