Mesembrine (S)
Nectarine, Prunus nucipersica
This fairly cracking resistant flat nectarine convinces with its good fruit size and at the same time high crop load. Just as striking is the attractive, bright fruit colouring on shaded fruits. To avoid cracking at the stalk cavity, a timely harvest is recommended.
