Notes
'Terute-beni flowering' dwarf nectarine (Prunus persica 'Terute-beni flowering') is a tree for borders, pollinator gardens, 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. Its columnar shape fits narrow spots, and the dark red flowers are fragrant. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it. It is self-fertile, so one tree can stand alone.
Pairs well with Chives, Nasturtium, and Calendula.
