I wanted to add that the seed is very small, and narrow. My camera is charged!
By far the best nectarine I ever had. Beautiful looking inside and out, the inside looks like a plum. So juicy too, much like a plum. You have to cup the fruit to prevent drips when raising to your mouth.
The tree is next to an Indian Free peach, which is not self fertile. the fruits are still very small. Most were probably pollinated by Arctic Glo. Both are white fleshed with dominant red steaks. The IF seeds once grown out could give an earlier red fleshed peach or nectarine. Yet later than Arctic Glo, Not sure how ripe times and genetics work? No doubt the offspring of Indian Free and Arctic Glo has to be interesting!
The brix on this fruit has to be high as the juice is like sugar water. Wish I could confirm it. I should just buy a meter.
Since it just rained, (luckily not that much!) I will probably watch the fruit, let it hang, as the rain maybe diluted down the brix. Let it dry out as long as possible. Although I don’t know the forecast? Maybe take them now?
Of course I have not tried many home grown fruits, and this fruit may seem bad to others, but I’m happy about it. It is just what i was looking for. So rare when that happens. I’ll pull one off tomorrow to take photos of the fruit inside and out.
The flavor is much like a peach, it tastes like a peach to me. Well one of the flavors, it is outstanding. Thank you Mr Zaiger!
Next up should be Lucky 13 our local breeder Paul Friday’s baby. Arctic Glo though set the bar very high! Lucky 13 is also a very beautiful fruit that has that classic peach look. Very nice looking fruit.
