Nectar Babe is a dwarf nectarine variety producing sweet, juicy yellow freestone fruit with excellent flavour. Its low chill requirement makes it a great performer in warmer New Zealand regions, while the deep pink blossoms in spring add ornamental charm. Though considered self-fertile, fruiting is best when planted near another nectarine or a peach such as ‘Honey Babe’. Perfect for pots, patios, and small gardens.
