Notes
'Garden Beauty peach /' dwarf nectarine (Prunus persica 'Garden Beauty peach /') is a tree for food gardens, borders, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Dark pink, fragrant flowers open in spring and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. It is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone. The fruit is grown for fresh eating and ripens in mid season.
