RE:
Is a nectarine just a peach without fuzz or is it a cross between peach and a plum?

Peach Without Fuzz

A nectarine is a peach that has mutation that causes no fuzz. It's not a hybrid fruit between a peach and some other fruit. You can have both varieties (peach and nectarine) on the same tree.

Nectarine = Peach Smooth skin is a single gene recessive trait of Prunus persica (peach). This is the only difference between the two. The distinction is a horticultural one, not a botanical one.
I've never heard of the peach being crossed with much even in its own genus (plums, cherries, apricots almonds etc.) even though others have been wide crossed (like the plumcot). The peach has been crossed back to wild P. persica and one or two other VERY closely related spp. (very peach like) but this has been for disease Resistance and never for fruit qualities (it actually hurts fruit quality and takes much work to get a decent fruit after these crosses).

not its not a cross, its a variety of peach
A nectarine is a fuzzless variety of peach. It is NOT a cross between a peach and a plum. Fuzziness is a dominant trait of peaches. Occasionally when peach trees are cross or even self pollinated they will produce some fruit whose seeds will grow into nectarine trees and others which will be peach trees. Nectarines will sometimes appear on peach trees, and peaches sometimes appear on nectarine trees! It is impossible to tell which seeds from nectarine trees will produce nectarine bearing trees, so commercial growers take branches which produce nectarines and graft them onto peach trees. The branches will continue to produce nectarines.

Peaches and nectarines are the same species, even though they are regarded commercially as different fruits. Nectarines have smooth skin, while peaches have fuzzy skin; genetic studies suggest nectarines are produced due to a recessive allele, whereas peaches are produced from dominant allele for fuzzy skin.

it's just a peach. It's not a hybrid of peach and plum. Here's an article on it.

Peaches - they taste better. But both peaches and nectarines are superior fruits :P
