Notes
'Pineapple peach /' dwarf nectarine (Prunus persica 'Pineapple peach /') is a tree for borders, accents, and food gardens. 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. It is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone. The fragrant pink blooms draw butterflies, bees, and birds. You can pick the fruit early in the season for fresh eating, and it keeps only 1 to 3 days.
Pairs well with Chives, Nasturtium, and Calendula.
