Description

Arctic Blaze White Nectarine is a taste test champion from Zaiger Genetics, prized for its succulent, low-acid white flesh under red skin. The large, semi-freestone fruit is sweet, rich, and mildly subacid when fully ripe, with a robust flavor and satisfying texture that make it perfect for desserts and fresh snacking. It ripens in mid to late August, and a profusion of large, showy flowers dazzles in spring. Known for excellent storage and transport qualities, it is a favorite among farmers and homesteaders alike. Self-pollinating, bears in 2-4 years.

A Taste Test Champion With Low-Acid White Flesh

Arctic Blaze earned its reputation on flavor. The white flesh is succulent and low in acid, so it tastes sweet and rich without any sharpness, and the red skin and creamy white fruit make it as striking as it is delicious. Developed by Zaiger Genetics, it has won taste tests with its robust flavor and satisfying texture.

Large, Semi-Freestone Fruit in Late Summer

Arctic Blaze produces a generous yield of large, semi-freestone fruit in mid to late August. When fully ripe, the flavor is sweet, rich, and mildly subacid, which makes it a late-summer treasure for desserts and fresh snacking.

Stores and Ships Well, With Showy Spring Flowers

Few nectarines hold up as well after harvest. Arctic Blaze is known for its excellent storage and transport qualities, which is why it is a favorite among farmers and homesteaders. In spring, it adds its own display, with a profusion of large, showy flowers that bring enchantment to the home garden.
