Stark® Summer Beaut Nectarine Tree

Stark® Summer Beaut is the nectarine commercial growers reach for when they want an exceptional early variety — and the same qualities that earn professional respect make it outstanding for the home orchard. Large, beautifully colored red and yellow fruit with firm texture, bright gold freestone flesh, and plenty of juice ripens in late July, delivering a premium nectarine experience right at the heart of summer. Hardy, productive, and self-pollinating in Zones 5–8, it’s a Stark Bro’s variety built for performance.

Commercial Quality, Home Orchard Rewarding

Summer Beaut earns consistent praise from professional growers for its fruit size, texture, and flavor — a combination that’s harder to achieve than it sounds in an early-season nectarine. The large fruit features attractive red and yellow skin, firm flesh that holds up well for fresh eating, baking, and canning or freezing, and bright gold freestone flesh that separates cleanly from the pit. It ripens in late July — a premium early-season window that puts fresh nectarines on your table when they’re hardest to find at peak quality.

Spectacular Pink Spring Blooms

Before the first nectarine appears, Stark® Summer Beaut covers itself in fragrant pink blossoms that make the tree a genuine spring ornamental. The blooms are not just beautiful — they’re noticeably aromatic, filling the area around the tree with a sweet floral fragrance that announces the season ahead.
