The Fantasia Nectarine is highly popular. It is a large, yellow freestone variety. When harvested early, the fruit is firm and tangy. If allowed to mature on the plants longer, the fruits are much sweeter and have a rich flavor. This nectarine consistently scores high in taste tests. A Fantasia Nectarine is a delicious treat in the summertime. The fruits are large and bright red with yellow skins. These trees are self pollinating, and grow vigorously. The trees should be pruned and the fruits thinned for consistent, quality crops. The soil should be moderately fertile with good drainage.
