About Sunblaze
Sunblaze is a genetic dwarf nectarine series valued for compact trees and full-size fruit. The small stature makes it useful for patios and limited-space gardens.
Growing Sunblaze Nectarine
Sunblaze nectarines are self-fertile but still need full sun, winter chilling, and regular thinning. Keep the tree on a disease-prevention schedule for peach leaf curl, and pick when fruit is fully colored and slightly soft.
