Sun Best is a nectarine released in 2001. It was developed to replace ‘Sunraycer’ due to its larger, more attractive fruit. Vigorous, semi-upright trees deliver early, reliable harvests of standout fruit. The nectarines are semi-freestone, with melting yellow flesh that’s juicy and exceptionally sweet, offering a rich, sun-kissed flavor. The skin displays a vibrant 90–100% red blush over a yellow background, creating an eye-catching look.
