Honey Blaze Nectarines

The perfectly named HONEY nectarines are sweet and juicy with a high Brix rating. Nectarines, like their furry cousins peaches, most likely originated in China over 2000 years ago. They were cultivated in ancient Persia, Greece and Rome and more recently, in Great Britain in the late 16th or early 17th centuries. Nectarines were introduced to America by the Spanish and today, California grows over 95% of the nectarines produced in the United States.
