Description
The Dwarf Nectarine Snow Baby® Zaisno is a self-fertile variety. A slow-growing dwarf tree, it is perfectly suited for container and small garden cultivation. It produces white-fleshed nectarines. The fruits are round, shiny red on a white background, as large as traditional nectarines, about 7 cm (3in) in diameter. Their flesh is juicy and flavorful. Harvest takes place when they reach ripeness in August. This variety requires little maintenance: light pruning will be sufficient. It is resistant to cold.
The species name "Persica" was given to the peach, which was thought to originate from Persia. In reality, all cultivated forms originate from northern China. The Nectarine is a natural mutation of the peach that is believed to have occurred in the 16th century. The Dwarf Nectarine Snow Baby® Zaisno is an American mutation of the original Asian peach, obtained in the USA.
Like many fruit trees, the Dwarf Nectarine Snow Baby® Zaisno appreciates light, rich, and deep soils. It does not tolerate excess water or heavy and compact soils well. It is a low-vigor dwarf tree, suitable for container and small garden cultivation. Its spreading habit indicates a tree with many horizontally growing branches. Its deciduous foliage is bright green and emits a slight almond scent. Its leaves are long, 8 to 15 cm (3 to 6in) in length and 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) wide, with a short petiole.
Its magnificent flowering, dark pink, occurs in late March. This late flowering and its cold resistance make it suitable for cultivation in northern areas, but still reserve a sunny and wind-protected location for it. The flowers are hermaphroditic and self-fertile.
Fruiting results in shiny red fruits on a white background, ready to be harvested from August. This tree does not require too much maintenance.
Nectarines can be enjoyed raw, cooked, sweet, savory, flambéed, frozen, or thawed. They pair very well with wine and certain meats, such as duck. They can be found in numerous recipes, including jams, compotes, pastries.

Planting and care
The Snow Baby® Zaisno dwarf Nectarine tree should ideally be planted from September to November. Dig a hole two to three weeks before planting, twice as wide and deep as the pot. On the day of planting, place the tree with its pot in a basin of water, in order to moisten the entire root ball by capillary action. Place compost at the bottom of the hole. Install the tree in the hole, fill with soil mixed with potting soil. Gently tamp around the base of the tree as you fill, ensuring that the roots are in close contact with the soil. The root ball should be completely covered. Water thoroughly.
The Snow Baby® Zaisno dwarf Nectarine tree has a semi-pivot root system. It will thrive in fairly deep soils. It also prefers a light and well-draining soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
