Nectarine and cross-section
A white nectarine and the cross-section of another. Nectarines are the fruit of a cultivar group of the peach (Prunus persica) whose peel is smooth instead of velvety. They are often erroneously believed to be a hybrid between peaches and plums. Nectarines are created due to a recessive gene, whereas a fuzzy peach skin is dominant.Photo: Fir0002
