Sunmist Nectarine Tree

Buy Sunmist Nectarine Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Sunmist Nectarine, botanically known as Prunus persica var. nucipersica ‘Sunmist’, is a low-chill white-flesh nectarine tree known for its smooth skin, sweet flavor, attractive red blush, early harvest season, and good performance in North Florida and other warm Southern climates.

Sunmist is a University of Florida nectarine variety that was developed for areas where lower chill fruit trees are needed. With a chill requirement commonly listed around 275–300 chill hours, it is a good choice for North Florida, the Florida Panhandle, South Alabama, and nearby Gulf Coast areas where many traditional high-chill nectarines may not be dependable.

The fruit has white flesh and develops nearly full red blush when ripe. Sunmist nectarines are smooth-skinned like other nectarines, with no peach fuzz, and are useful for fresh eating, slicing, desserts, baking, preserves, jams, and backyard recipes. The fruit is large for an early-ripening nectarine and has a pretty appearance, making it a nice choice for home orchards and edible landscapes.

Sunmist Nectarine Trees are a good fit for home orchards, edible landscapes, backyard fruit gardens, homesteads, small farms, and Southern fruit plantings. Like peaches, nectarines need full sun, well-drained soil, good air movement, annual pruning, fruit thinning when needed, and regular fruit tree care for best production.
