Raspberry Red Nectarine

Prunus persica var. nectarina 'Raspberry Red' Developed by the California Rare Fruit Growers' Hybridizer Group. A rare nectarine with rich, red flesh reminiscent of the old "Indian Blood" peaches. It is the result of crossing red-fleshed peaches with white nectarines and re-crossing the subsequent seedlings. Small to medium sized fruit has dark burgundy skin with freestone flesh streaked in red and a juicy, melting texture. The flavor is unique: rich and complex, very sweet but with a pleasant tartness similar to raspberry.
