The ‘Snow Queen’ nectarine is known for its large-sized, early-season fruit that has a delicious, sweet, and juicy flavor. The fruit has a distinctive firm, cream-white flesh and a skin that is flushed with red and yellow. The tree itself has an upright habit and is a self-fertile variety, meaning it does not need a pollinator to produce fruit.

Cultivation Guide

  • Sunlight and Shelter: Plant in a full-sun location that is sheltered from strong winds. 
  • Soil: Requires fertile, well-drained soil. 
  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods and when the fruit is developing. 
  • Frost: While the tree is tolerant of frost, late spring frosts can damage the flowers and affect the crop, so a protected site is best. 
  • Tree Size: ‘Snow Queen’ grows to approximately 4-5 meters (4-5m) in height. 
  • Pollination: It is a self-fertile variety, so it will fruit successfully on its own. 
  • Pruning: Prune the tree as needed to maintain its desired shape and size. 
  • Pest and Disease Control: A preventative spray program, starting with a copper spray at leaf drop, is recommended for stone fruit trees.
