A heavy producer of very firm white nectarines, the Arctic Belle selection features a very sweet, low-acid flavor. This freestone ripens in the 2nd to 3rd week of July with large-sized fruit (2-5/8" to 3"). The Arctic Belle exhibits some russeting, but offers appealing overall skin color (mottled red over a white background color). The tree is self-fertile and requires 900 to 1000 hours of winter chilling. (U.S. Plant Patent No. 10479)
