The Sunraycer Nectarine (Prunus persica var. nucipersica ‘Sunraycer’) is a reliable, early-ripening nectarine variety prized for its excellent flavor and low chill hour requirement. Known for its smooth, golden-yellow fruit with a bright red blush, Sunraycer delivers a juicy, sweet taste with a balanced tang—perfect for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.
This tree produces medium to large fruit with freestone pits, making preparation in the kitchen easy. A vigorous grower with an attractive rounded canopy, the Sunraycer Nectarine also boasts a spectacular spring display of pink blossoms that draw pollinators to the orchard.
Required chill hours: 250 – 300 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. |
