The Martha Jane Flowering Nectarine (Prunus persica var. nucipersica ‘Martha Jane’) is a stunning ornamental tree prized for its brilliant spring display. In early spring, before leaves emerge, the tree bursts into bloom with masses of large, vibrant pink flowers that transform the landscape into a showpiece. The colorful blossoms are highly attractive to pollinators, making this tree both beautiful and beneficial for the garden.
Unlike fruiting nectarines, Martha Jane is primarily grown for its ornamental value. The lush green foliage that follows the spring bloom provides shade and contrast through summer, and in fall, the leaves take on warm tones for added seasonal appeal. Its manageable size and rounded canopy make it an excellent choice for specimen plantings, borders, or patio accents.
Requires 200 – 400 chill hours.

| Fertilization | Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
