About Redgold
Redgold is a yellow-fleshed freestone nectarine with red-blushed skin and a classic sweet-tart nectarine flavor. It is a dependable late-season cultivar in many traditional peach-growing regions.
Growing Redgold Nectarine
Redgold is self-fertile, but it needs a site with sufficient winter chilling and protection from late frost. Thin fruit early for size, and pick when the background color has turned from green to yellow and the flesh yields slightly.
