Peach Vs Nectarine
- Hairless or fuzzless peach, smooth skinned, somewhat like a plum
- Tree differs in no essential respect from that of the peach
- Genetically, the absence of fuzz on the nectarine is fundamentally the only difference between it and the peach
- Fruits- Aside from the absence of pubescence, is likely the peach
- Fruits may be a little smaller in size, firmer fleshed and may possess stronger flavor and aroma
- Both types (clingstone and freestone) exist
- Nectarine leaves, in one variety or another show all the variations in glands and serrations known to the peach and the stones of peach and nectarine are indistinguishable
