      Nectarine is a cultivar group of peach that has a smooth, fuzzless skin. Though fuzzy peaches and nectarines are commercially regarded as different fruits, they belong to the same species. Nectarines have arisen many times from peach trees, often as bud sports. Nectarines can be white or yellow, and clingstone or freestone. Regular peach trees occasionally produce a few nectarines, and vice versa. Their flesh is more easily bruised than peaches. The history of the nectarine is unclear; the first recorded mention is from 1616 in England, but they had probably been grown much earlier in central Asia.

          A nectarine is a fruit that looks like a small peach with no fuzz. No, blueberries do not have seeds...

            A Nectarine is a Drupe, and so has a big seed in the middle, and are formed by fertilization of a single flower with a single pistol. Like peeps have said, it's very similar to a Peach, without the fuzz.

            Cherries are also Drupes.

            Like all fruits, Blueberries do have seeds, but they're not hard (so not "pits"). Blueberries are classified as Aggregate Fruits - like grapes - and have soft, edible seeds. Aggregate fruits are formed from fertilization of a single flower with multiple pistols.

              You are mistaken.

              Blueberries have seeds, else they wouldn't be classified as a "fruit."

              If it has a seed, or seeds - it's classified a "fruit" - despite what the guy at the grocery store calls it.

                  a medium-sized stone fruit (Prunus persica) with a smooth red and yellow skin, firm yellowish-pink flesh and a peachy flavor with undertones of almond; available as freestone and clingstone.
                  This fruit is a crossbreeding of peach and plum. Fresh fruits are used for Cobblers and Claret Cups/ punch, but you can also get it as juice and syrup
                  variety or mutation of the peach bearing fruit with smooth skin and (usually) yellow flesh

                    I thought it was a 1/2 breed fruit

                      Yeah... juicers are great... I use to finish up all of my left-over 'veggies' at the end of every week.

                      On the subject of nectarines, though... a couple of weeks ago, the guy that I buy my fruit from at the local Farmer's market had these Honeydew-Nectaries... he told me it was a cross-breed between the two fruits.

                      Shaped like and with the texture of a nectarine, with fruit that tasted like a cross between Honeydew melon and a very sweet peach, I think it might have been one of the best fruits I've ever tasted.

                                  How do you get more blueberries if they don't have seeds?

                                  I believe you will find that all fruits have seeds.

                                    my problem is I don't really like any food except chili dogs, pizza, bbq ribs, tacos, grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate cake so I'm really struggling to stuff I'll juice and drink. tried carrots and celery, almost pucked. been okay with citrus, pineapple and cherries. apples aren't too bad. gonna try apple/blueberry, cherry/pineapple/orange. stuff like that. I have some organic pomegranate here to cut the stuff with.

                                              seedless grapes?
                                              I was going to mention that even seedless grapes and seedless watermelons have seeds in them.

I have some organic pomegranate here to cut the stuff with.
