Nectarine ‘Flat’

An unusual donut-shaped nectarine prized for its sweet flavour and easy eating. Grown on the Mont Clare, semi dwarfing rootstock, this self-fertile tree produces abundant clusters of pink and white spring blossoms highly attractive to pollinators. The unique flattened, red-blushed yellow fruits have juicy, aromatic white flesh with a sweet, mellow flavour perfect for fresh eating. Ripening in mid-August, this nectarine prefers full and sheltered positions such as south or west facing walls for optimum fruiting, though also grows well freestanding in warmer southerly locations. For gardens wanting spring flowers and summer fruit, ‘Flat’ is a compact fruiting tree with the added benefit of uniquely shaped, delicious fruit.
