Heavenly White White Nectarine Fruit Tree

Heavenly White is a white-fleshed freestone nectarine with red and cream skin, a sweetly balanced flavor, and a mid-summer harvest in California. The exact [Dave Wilson Nursery profile](https://www.davewilson.com/nurseries/products/fruit-trees/nectarine-white/heavenly_white/) identifies it as self-fruitful and lists 650 chill hours and USDA zones 6–9; regional climate affects bloom and ripening dates. ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil and enough space for a full-size fruit tree. Peaches and nectarines need spring warmth for growth, consistent moisture while establishing and sizing fruit, and good air movement through the canopy. Heavenly White has showy spring flowers, and its fruit ripens around mid-July in California according to the [DWN Variety Finder](https://www.wheretobuy.davewilson.com/product-information/product/heavenly-white-white-nectarine). Chill requirements and zone ratings are guides rather than guarantees, so match the tree to local winter temperatures and summer heat. ## Maintenance Water regularly during the first growing seasons and through dry periods, keeping soil moist but not saturated. Prune in late winter to form an open, balanced canopy and remove dead or damaged wood. Inspect foliage and fruit for common peach-family pests and fungal problems, and clear fallen fruit and leaves where disease has occurred. Harvest when fruit is fully colored and yields slightly to gentle pressure; handle ripe nectarines carefully because their smooth skin bruises easily.
