Semi Dwarf Arctic Glo Nectarine Tree

Semi Dwarf Arctic Glo White Nectarine Tree on Citation (Prunus persica var. nucipersica ‘Arctic Glo’) is a unique, highly flavorful white-fleshed nectarine known for its vibrant red-blushed skin and juicy, tangy-sweet taste. Unlike many white nectarines, Arctic Glo has a refreshing acidity that balances its sweetness, making it prized for fresh eating, fruit salads, and desserts. Its firm, aromatic flesh adds excellent character, and the fruit is also well-suited for canning or preserves. Grafted onto Citation rootstock, this tree offers controlled vigor, adaptability to various soils, and dependable crops—an outstanding choice for backyard orchards and edible gardens.

Growing Semi Dwarf Arctic Glo White Nectarine Tree on Citation

Light: Requires full sun for optimal flowering, sweetness, and vibrant fruit color.

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil; amend with compost or organic matter for improved growth and production.

Water: Water deeply and consistently during the growing season, reducing slightly after harvest. Avoid shallow or irregular watering to prevent fruit drop or splitting.

Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in early spring and midsummer to encourage strong growth and consistent yields.

Pollination: Self-fertile; does not require another variety to set crops, though yields improve with multiple nectarines or peaches nearby.

Maintenance: Prune in late winter to shape, encourage airflow, and maintain productive fruiting wood. Thin excess fruit in early summer to improve size and quality.
