Sunglo is an excellent mid-season ripening nectarine.  It ripens about 10 days after Redhaven  and a few days after Summer Beaut.  The fruit is large and of excellent quality.  The tree is productive and moderately vigorous.  The fruit is mostly freestone.

Sunglo originated in California, being bred by Fred Anderson, who bred many stone fruits.  It was introduced about 1960.

Nectarines are self-fertile and can be planted by themselves. Treat a nectarine just like peaches when growing. Thin early and agressively for good size. Prune every year to maintain vigor. You should seek to get between 1-3 feet of new growth a year. Over, 3 feet and you are probably fertilizing too much.
