I just read about this in a magazine article on peaches a day or so ago.
They explicitly stated that a nectarine is *not* a cross between a plum
and a peach, but merely the result of careful breeding of lightly-fuzzed
and not-fuzzed peaches. No plums involved at all. Of course, maybe they
were lying...
