A Stark Bro’s Exclusive!Easy to Grow! A Stark Pick

Stark® SunGlo has been called the “queen” of nectarines — and after more than 60 years in home orchards across the country, the title still fits. Developed in Merced, California and introduced by Stark Bro’s in 1962, SunGlo produces large, firm, yellow-fleshed freestone nectarines with a rich, sweet flavor that’s been satisfying home growers for generations. Self-pollinating, productive, and reliable in Zones 5–8, it remains the benchmark classic nectarine variety for a reason.

Rich, Sweet Flavor — The Classic Nectarine Experience

SunGlo’s yellow freestone flesh is firm, juicy, and deeply sweet with the clean, classic nectarine flavor profile that serious stone fruit growers return to year after year. The large fruit is easy to work with — freestone separation means clean, effortless pitting for fresh eating, freezing, canning, and baking alike. It ripens in early August, delivering a dependable mid-summer harvest right when stone fruit season is at its peak.

Over 60 Years of Proven Performance

Introduced by Stark Bro’s in 1962, SunGlo has remained in continuous production for over six decades — a testament to the kind of consistent quality, attractive fruit, and reliable performance that stands the test of time through every trend and new variety release. When a variety stays beloved for 60+ years, it has genuinely earned its reputation.
