Popis: Fruit of 3 of 70 trees from a cross of ‘Pekin’ peach x ‘Durbin’ nectarine [(Prunus persica (L.) Batsch)] had a dull, slightly rough surface intermediate in appearance to the shiny, smooth surface of a nectarine and the pubescent surface of a peach. Scanning electron photomicrographs of the epidermis revealed short, often multicellular, papillae 20–80 μm in length but no long hairs of the normal 200–500 μm length. Fruit buds on the three trees were glabrous in contrast to the pubescent buds of peaches and nectarines.
