Description

Named after its snow white flesh, the Arctic Star White Nectarine is sweet, juicy, and incredibly delicious. Boasting a beautiful deep red skin, the fruit is low in acidity with no tartness. This nectarine tree blossoms with beautiful pink flowers in the spring with rich green foliage.

A reliable producer, the Arctic Star White Nectarine flourishes in full sun and well-drained soil. The clingstone fruit ripen in the early summer months and the white nectarines are great for canning and are often utilized in desserts and preserves.

The Arctic Star White Nectarine is self-fertile and a great pollinizer for other nectarine varieties. A great low chill nectarine tree for mild winter climates. Plant in full sun in soil with good drainage and you’ll be harvesting medium-sized nectarines from your own yard or orchard before you know it!

Great Buy
First time buying bareroot. Was nervous when we got it, but tree has exploded with leaves and life. No fruit yet, too late but here's hoping next season we'll have some.

So far, so good. We even got one nectarine just a few months after planting a bareroot tree.

Wow! This little tree was a twig when I planted it. Now it's more than six feet tall and branched out. Growing like a weed. It's only been planted about three months.
