Karla Rose Nectarine Tree

Karla Rose Nectarine Tree – Sweet, Juicy White Flesh Fruit with Cold Hardy Resilience

The Karla Rose Nectarine Tree (Prunus persica var. nucipersica) produces large, juicy nectarines with a traditional sweet flavor and fragrant pink blossoms that attract birds, bees, and butterflies. This white-flesh, semi-freestone variety features a stunning deep red skin and ripens in early summer, typically around June to July. Karla Rose is cold hardy, tolerates late frosts, and thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5–8, making it an excellent choice for growers in the Coastal South, Lower South, and Zone 8 regions.

This self-fertile nectarine tree requires 600–700 chill hours and performs best in full sun with well-draining, fertile soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Reaching a mature height of 15–20 feet, it has a medium growth rate and should be spaced 15–20 feet from other trees or structures.

Your Karla Rose Nectarine Tree ships in a 1-gallon pot and stands 4+ feet tall, ready for planting. It’s best to plant in early spring to allow roots to establish before the growing season begins. Water regularly after transplanting and provide average moisture throughout the summer.
