Whenever a Fruit Growing Organization conducts a taste competition, Flavortop is always ranked among the best-tasting nectarines. It has a delicately sweet flavor much akin to the stone fruits grown in warm Southern states like Georgia, yet the sugary flavor within doesn’t overpower the complex citrusy undertones which are are most prevalent in the Northen grown nectarines. Flavortop is the modern breakout nectarine cultivar and the pinnacle of flavor among them all!
