Is a nectarine a peach with smooth skin?

Answer 1

A nectarine is a mutant version of the peach. Nectarines are genetically identical to peaches except they have a recessive gene that makes them smooth and fuzzless. The nectarine is also a member of the “Family of Flowering Plants” (Rosaceae; Rose, Peach, Apple, Pear, Strawberry family). They are in the same family as the Rose, but are also related to the Almond. Nectarines, like peaches, were first cultivated in China, and were cultivated in ancient Persia, Greece and Rome.

Answer 3

A nectarine , or to give it's Latin name Prunus persica variety nectarina, is a fuzz-less variety of peach,it is NOT a cross between a peach and a plum. They are genetically different as people who have red hair. A peach tree is capable of producing a branch baring nectarines and vice versa.They are also low in fat, cholesterol free, sodium free and a good source of vitamin C. Hope this helps and have a nice day.
