The ‘Sunmist’ Nectarine, released in 1994, is the perfect choice for growers seeking a high-quality, early-ripening fruit. Known for its vigorous trees with a spreading growth habit, ‘Sunmist’ produces large, symmetrical nectarines with white flesh and a semi-freestone pit, offering both beauty and ease of eating. The fruit boasts a nearly 100% red blush. Plus, with its exceptional resistance to bacterial spot, this cultivar ensures a healthier, more reliable harvest. For growers looking to deliver premium fruit year after year, ‘Sunmist’ offers both performance and visual appeal.
Low-chill fruit varieties, requiring fewer than 300 chill hours, are ideal for warmer climates in the southern states. These fruit trees thrive in regions with mild winters, ensuring reliable harvests of delicious, high-quality fruit without the need for cold winters.

| Pruning | Prune peach trees in late winter by removing dead wood, thinning the center for airflow, shortening side branches to 3-4 buds, and cutting away suckers to encourage healthy growth and fruiting. Once mature, peaches should be pruned yearly for best fruit production. |
| 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. |
