Despite its attributes, I would not recommend Queen Nectarine to anyone in zone 6 or below. I bought three Queen Nectarines in 2022 for my zone 6a garden. They were beautiful and the bees loved them. However, I was very disappointed they didn’t survive winter. One is completely dead and the other two are nearly dead. I’m actually not alone in my disappointment. Laura from Garden Answer and Erin from The Impatient Gardener also lost their Queen Nectarines over the winter. PW needs to adjust the lower zone tolerance for this plant to zone 7.
