How to Grow the Arctic Blaze White Nectarine Tree
This popular white nectarine tree is self-pollinating and has a low chill requirement. Thriving in USDA Hardiness Zones 6-9, this self-fertile tree requires approximately 700-800 chill hours for optimal growth and fruit production. Plant it in a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Pruning in late winter while dormant helps stimulate new growth and maintain its desired shape.
The Arctic Blaze White Nectarine Tree is not just a culinary delight, it’s also a timeless addition to your garden, offering both a bountiful harvest and ornamental allure.
