Definitions and References:
"Nectarines are close relatives of peaches, and there
are records of peach trees turning into nectarine trees, or at least producing
nectarines. However, this is the exception rather than the rule. In general
nectarines are smaller than peaches, with a firmer flesh. They also, of
course, are missing the fuzz-like covering on the skin. They are also
quite different in colour, usually with a red, purple or greenish tinge
to the yellow background colour of the fruit, whilst most peach varieties
are ultimately red-orange on a yellow background. Nectarine trees are also
slightly less hardy than peaches. "
