What is Nectarines

Nectarine , shaved peach, fuzzless peach, (scientific name: Amygdalus persica var. Nectarina) , is a deciduous middle to tall tree from the family Rosaceae, native to China and northern Iran. It is cultivated to harvest fruits. The skin has no hair and is smooth. The pulp is sour. In Japan, it is mainly produced in Nagano Prefecture.
