About the Garden Delight Miniature Nectarine Tree

Grow an abundance of fresh fruit on one of our smallest trees!

The Garden Delight Miniature Nectarine tree is a genetic dwarf developed by Floyd Zaiger in Modesto California, circa 1975. Designed to be compact yet fruitful, the Garden Delight is an excellent choice for small spaces and patios. It’s a heavy-bearing tree that only reaches 5-6 ft. In height.

Garden Delight is a show-stopping patio and landscape accent. With dense foliage and a beautiful spring display of dark pink, double blossoms that cover the branches. This dwarf tree is a cross between Red Grand Nectarine and a seedling of Flory dwarf peach. The result is large, juicy, sweet, freestone nectarines that ripen in mid-to-late August. The yellow-fleshed nectarines have an orange-like flavor. Great for cooking, baking and preserves.

How to Grow Garden Delight Nectarines

Garden Delight Nectarine trees thrive in warm climates. This compact fruit tree can easily be covered and protected from frost. Cooler regions can bring their container nectarine in for the winter – keeping in mind that this tree requires about 500 hours or so of winter chill hours. The natural spreading habit and non-vigorous growth make this tree easy to maintain.

Garden Delight is a self-pollinating fruit tree that prefers full sun and well-draining soil. It’s very dependable and considerably easy to grow!
