'Fantasia' grows well in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, lower Midwest and West. The fruits are large freestone with red skin and firm, yellow flesh. Midseason bearing, vigorous with showy flowers. Moderate requirement for winter chill. Most adaptable of all fruit trees for home gardens. When planting, they should be spaced to allow a spread of 20 to 25 feet. At 3 to 4 years of age, they begin to bear large crops and reach peak productivity at 8 to 12 years. To maintain size and encourage new growth, heavy pruning is needed. Nectarines, like peaches, require well-drained soil and a regular fertilizing program. Peach leaf curl, peach tree borer, and curculio can be a problem.
