Prunus persica var. nucipersica
When to plant nectarine
Clemson Extension treats nectarines as fuzzless peaches with identical culture: plant while fully dormant from early December to mid-March, as early as possible so the roots establish before spring growth begins.
Nectarine is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
