Good luck, keep us posted!
You know what, I think I do have it. I think I had fruit off that tree last year and was thinking it was acidic. Didn’t you say Honey Halo is low acid?
The fruit is swelling up now. So, I’ll get to try it soon.

I do remember you mentioning that it was acidic, which came as a surprise to me, as I consider it low acid. Perhaps not as low as Arctic Star, but definitely not like Snack Time or Snow Queen.

Got mine at Costco last year. It’s suppose to be sweet like honey. The nectarine that came with the home is like that. When it’s ripe, you don’t even need to bite it. You can suck the whole thing and the juice will flow with tremors amount of sugar. The smell is amazing and it’s highly prize by the squirrels.

Fabulous nectarines! I don’t grow any but I do have a few peaches. One of them is an early producer…in fact, it’s already produced a few small sweeties just this afternoon. The tree was loaded this spring and I had to thin it it aggressively. About 60%. If the tree rats or coons don’t spoil it we will have one of the best harvests ever. Pretty excited about now.
Arctic glo was by far my favorite, flavor wise, but we took them out (along with all our nectarines) because of susceptibility to brown rot.
I got one fruit from arctic glo last year and it was fantastic! This year it is loaded and the split pits are starting to ripen. Its a race between arctic babe and arctic glo.

How does your snow queen do vs spring frost?
Snow Queen is one of my latest nectarines to bloom, so it should fair better than others with spring frosts.
