Armredark - YF
The early season consistent performer - larger fruit
size than Armsered although still not big. Great
for the kids' lunch box. They'll love you for it
mum. Brilliant red colour and full of juice.

Rose Diamond - YF
We've heard Rose Diamonds being described as "pure
candy" and, you know, we just couldn't argue with that!
Two things give summerfruit the 'mmmm' factor - sugar
and flavour - and Rose Diamond has both in abundance.
Add the fact that they are an attractive fruit with
brilliant red skin splashed with gold, and that they
are available as early as the second week of December…
well, need we say more?

Springbright - YF
Calling all Cooks! Spring Bright is possibly the
best of the nectarines for your jams and preserves.
Highly flavoured with a touch of spice, Spring
Bright has a real "zing" to it. Of course,
you shouldn't restrict yourself to cooking this
fruit - it's wonderful eaten fresh, and never
fails to get a comment. Can be eaten firm with
a real crisp texture. Ask Ruth Jones, it is her
favourite for fresh and for her famous jam.

Arctic Glo - WF
This is the first white fleshed nectarine of the season.
Dark red skin colour, and melting white flesh.
Not large, but don't let that fool you.

Queen Giant is the first large white flesh nectarine.

flavour. The photo is better than a thousand words.

Fantasia - YF
Fantasia is a proven performer with excellent fruit
size and great keeping ability. Several of our
customers believe this is the best yellow flesh
nectarine for flavour. Watch out for the juice running
down the chin.

Redgold - YF
Like Fantasia, this variety has stood the test of time and is still
one of the highest quality volume lines. Great keeper.
