Description: ‘Sunbest’, released in 2001, is a patented nectarine cultivar with yellow, melting flesh, and a semi-freestone pit. It develops 90–100% bright red blush over a yellow ground color, and has a FDP of 85–90 days. ‘Sunbest’ ripens in early May in Gainesville, FL, about 3 days before the standard ‘Sunraycer’ (unpatented) nectarine cultivar. It is superior to and a good replacement for ‘Sunraycer’ nectarine.
