Nectarine, the name means “sweet as nectar”. The difference between a nectarine and a peach is simply a recessive gene. It is often referred to as the fuzz-less peach but they are two separate and individual fruits.

Here at Symms, we grow some terrific nectarines. Flavor is the ultimate judge of quality with fruit and the flavor of our nectarines is second to none! Our season parallels our peach season however we have fewer acres of nectarines so the season doesn’t run as long (mid-August through mid-September). We pack nectarines in the same type of packs as our peaches.
