Nectarine
The nectarine is a cultivar group of peach that has a smooth, fuzzless skin. Though fuzzy peaches and nectarines are commercially regarded as different fruits, with nectarines often erroneously believed to be a crossbreed between peaches and plums, or a "peach with a plum skin", they belong to the same species as peaches. Several genetic studies have concluded in fact that nectarines are created due to a recessive gene, whereas a fuzzy peach skin is dominant.[5] Nectarines have arisen many times from peach trees, often as bud sports.
As with peaches, nectarines can be white or yellow, and clingstone or freestone. On average, nectarines are slightly smaller and sweeter than peaches, but with much overlap.[5] The lack of skin fuzz can make nectarine skins appear more reddish than those of peaches, contributing to the fruit's plum-like appearance. The lack of down on the skin also means their skin is more easily bruised than peaches.
The history of the nectarine is unclear; the first recorded mention in English is from 1616,[6] but they had probably been grown much earlier within the native range of the Peach in central and eastern Asia.
Regular peach trees occasionally produce a few nectarines, and vice versa. The former is more common, but nectarine trees can grow peaches if the nectarine tree receives pollen from a peach tree or contains a peach tree graft[citation needed].
They are yummy! : )

Take a nectarine seed. Plant it. Wait 5 years or so for it mature. Pick the fruit and eat.

A nectarine is a fruit related to the peach and it has a pit in it. You eat it and use it like a peach in recipes.
