The "Ruby8" variety is a late-ripening nectarine that starts bearing fruit in the third year after planting and reaches full maturity at the end of August–beginning of September. The medium-sized tree (up to 3.5 m) has a rounded crown, ensuring good lighting of all branches and simplifying care.
The fruit of this variety is distinguished by its attractive appearance: a yellow base color with a bright blurred blush covering from 75% to 100% of the surface. The fruit mass is 150–170 g, and the flesh is orange-yellow, tender-fibrous, and easily separates from the stone. Thanks to these characteristics, "Ruby8" receives a high tasting score of 4.5 out of five.
The variety is distinguished by high yield – 15–20 t/ha – as well as resistance to winter and drought conditions. Self-fertility simplifies the planting process, and the high transportability of the fruit makes it attractive both for the consumer market and for export. Overall, "Ruby8" represents a reliable choice for gardeners looking for juicy, tasty nectarines with good preservation during storage and transport.
