The cold-hardy and petite, Mayfire Nectarine Tree (Prunus persica var. nucipersica ‘Mayfire’) is one of the earliest Nectarines to ripen for home gardeners anywhere! Enjoy sweet and juicy fruit as early as mid-May depending on your climate!


Spring turns your tree into a vivid pink cloud of perfumed petals that the early emerging pollinators go crazy for! You’ll love stealing a few stems to force in late winter so you can get through those last cold months of the year. But leave as many outside as you can for the delightful fruit, and you won’t wait long because yellow fruit, with blushed red skins, appears in May for your enjoyment!


Mayfire, sometimes spelled May Fire, maxes out at about 12-18 feet in height and stays a smaller 10-12 feet in width, and prunable smaller yet to accommodate even the smallest yard or large planter! Best yet, Nectarines are self-fruitful, but you’ll enjoy a larger harvest when multiple Nectarines are planted together, not only boosting yield but extending your harvest to span the entire growing season and beyond!
