Doug's Big Red Juicy Nectarine Rootstock/Size:Manchurian Full Size: 3-4 ft.

Doug's Big Red Juicy Nectarine Rootstock/Size:Manchurian Full Size: 3-4 ft.Cold Hardy Nectarine Seedlings These are grafted from our buddy Doug's nectarine tree that unfortunately was cut down to create an alley. But we saved the genetics! The mother tree was a very tasty nectarine (see photos). The tree had been growing in Missoula for well over 10 years and had consistently borne heavily. The mother tree had been the most hardy nectarine tree we had seen, having survived at least 26F while still bearing delicious, plump,

as it bears fruit with its own pollen

yet Blizzard is even larger

Rod went on to have the largest germplasm of fruit varieties in the whole state

for site selection in colder regions

The fruit is best suited for fresh eating and simple dessert use rather than early-season processing

I harvested the last apple today (a squirrel got the other one) and it was still good eating

mid-season apple
