BURNECTTHIRTYONE, The Burchell Nursery
(PPAF) BurNectThirtyOne is a mid-to-late-July white-flesh clingstone nectarine that has good size, nice red blush, and excellent eating qualities. The tree is moderately vigorous and has a heavy bearing habit. The white flesh is juicy and sweet to slightly acidic. The round shape allows higher packouts and better returns to the grower. We see a lower degree of “corking” in the flesh of this variety. An excellent choice for a good midseason nectarine.

Subpareil, The Burchell Nursery
(PP#21,934) A good pollinator of Nonpareil, the Supareil almond is a large, Nonpareil-type that harvests 10 to 14 days after Nonpareil. Most handlers are paying the same as Nonpareil or higher for meats. A planting of Nonpareil/Supareil will not only give good yields, but have an overall higher price per pound. The shells are well sealed and more worm-resistant than Nonpareil.
