would it hurt my nectarine to have 3 inches of compost up to the trunk ?

Not actually against the trunk --leave a space of a few inches to save any chance of rotting during wet periods.

Thanks for that Sunshine

it's in the right place but I need to improve the soil in the whole bed

Better to be safe than sorry --- nectarines are such lovely trees, especially the flowers in Spring

Oh, and the fruit, obviously
