Description

Arctic Jay is part of the well-regarded Arctic series, known for delivering true white-fleshed sweetness with excellent texture.

This variety ripens after the earliest Arctic nectarines, offering a smooth transition into peak nectarine season.

The fruit develops a bright red blush over creamy white flesh, with a low-acid profile that highlights sweetness rather than sharpness. Arctic Jay is an excellent choice for growers who want a refined, fresh-eating nectarine with dependable performance.

Overview

  • White nectarine with sweet, low-acid flavor.
  • Freestone fruit with smooth, fuzz-free skin.
  • Mid-season ripening fills the gap between early and late varieties.
  • Excellent fresh-eating quality.
  • Self-fertile—no pollination partner required.
