Freckle Face Nectarine
This juicy Nectarine features a deep red and amber skin with golden orange flesh and some freckling once sun kissed. The Freckle Face Nectarine has a very high sugar content that’s balanced by its acidity. This is a newer variety that has already won a few California taste tests.
