Description
The Crimson Gold® Nectarine Tree is a self-fertile variety that is highly prolific. Its large round fruits measure 8cm (3in) in diameter and weigh between 100 and 130g. These nectarines are orange-red in colour and have yellow flesh. Firm, tasty, and fragrant, the flesh does not stick to the stone. The abundant and regular harvest begins when the fruits ripen in July. The Crimson Gold® Nectarine Tree is sensitive to spring frosts and drought.
The species name "persica" was given to the peach, which was thought to originate from Persia. In reality, all cultivated forms are native to northern China. The nectarine is a natural mutation of the peach that is believed to have occurred in the 16th century. The Crimson Gold® Nectarine Tree is an American mutation of the original Asian peach, developed in the USA by Floyd Zaiger in California.
Like many fruit trees, the Crimson Gold® Nectarine Tree appreciates light, rich, and deep soils. It does not tolerate excess water or heavy, compact soils. It is a vigorously growing tree. Its spreading habit indicates a tall trunk tree with many horizontally growing branches, making harvesting easier. Its deciduous foliage is a vibrant green and emits a subtle almond scent. The leaves are long, measuring 8 to 15cm (3 to 6in) in length and 3 to 4cm (1 to 2in) in width, with short petioles.
Its white-pink flowering occurs in late March. This necessitates placing the tree, if grown in northerly regions such as north of the Loire, in a sunny and wind-protected location. The flowers are hermaphroditic and self-fertile. The Crimson Gold® Nectarine Tree is sensitive to spring frosts and drought.
The abundant and regular fruiting results in large round fruits, orange-red in colour, ready to be harvested in July. This tree does not require too much maintenance. It tolerates severe pruning, but not every year.
Nectarines can be enjoyed raw, cooked, sweet, savory, flambéed, frozen, or deglazed. They pair very well with wine and certain meats, such as duck. They can be found in numerous recipes, including jams, compotes, pastries, and more.

Planting and care
The Crimson Gold® Nectarine Tree is preferably planted from September to November. Dig a hole two to three weeks before planting, twice as wide and deep as the pot. On the day, place the tree with its pot in a basin of water, in order to moisten the entire root ball by capillarity. Install compost at the bottom of the hole. Place the tree in the hole, fill with a mixture of soil and compost. Gently firm the soil around the base of the tree as you fill, the roots should be in close contact with the soil. The root ball should be completely covered. Water generously.
The Crimson Gold® Nectarine Tree has a semi-pivoting root system. It will thrive in fairly deep soils. It also prefers a light and well-draining soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
