The Sunhome Nectarine (Prunus persica var. nectarina ‘Sunhome’) is a top-performing low-chill nectarine tree perfect for warm climates, subtropical regions, and mild-winter areas. This early-ripening nectarine variety is celebrated for its sweet, aromatic flavor, smooth skin, and consistently high fruit production. Ideal for home orchards, backyard growers, edible landscapes, and small farms, Sunhome delivers dependable crops of medium to large, juicy nectarines even in areas where traditional nectarines struggle.
This vigorous yet compact nectarine tree develops an attractive, rounded canopy and produces early spring blooms that set heavy crops of richly colored fruit. The firm, flavorful flesh is perfect for fresh eating, baking, dehydrating, and homemade nectarine preserves. With a very low chill requirement of 150–200 chill hours, Sunhome thrives in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and other warm-temperate zones, making it one of the most reliable nectarines for heat, humidity, and mild winters.
Gardeners looking for an easy-to-grow, high-yielding nectarine tree with minimal maintenance will find Sunhome Nectarine to be an outstanding choice for long-term productivity and early-season harvests.

| 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. |
