　　Nectarines, scientific name Prunus persica var. nectarina. Nectarines (English: Nectarine) are a variety of common peaches (which have fuzzy skin), and are a type of deciduous small tree whose fruit is consumed as a fresh fruit. Nectarines originated in China and are also found in Asia and North America. In the northwestern region of China, there are wild nectarines, locally referred to as "plum-peach," which have similar soil and climate adaptability and cultivation techniques as common peaches. "Peach-plum" is considered to be the fruit that results either from grafting a peach tree onto a plum tree of the same genus, or from a hybrid of peach and plum. "Therefore," it has a smooth skin like a plum, but its taste and texture are similar to those of a peach.
