Frank:"I think your fruiterer has been waiting for his fruit to ferment a bit too long. Nectarines are peaches without the fuzz. They are the result of a recessive gene in peaches."

Is there any/another peach/nectarine similar fruit that rarely is fruitful from seed? He said, OYOH, that there are only 1 out of 100 bearing nectarine seedling trees but they can be fertilized from roses. I have never seen an open Johnny Walker container/bottle at his place of business. Old folk tales, or incorrectly learned/disputed orchadist's lessons are possible in this report, I suppose. What technical biological term(s) regarding nectarine tree fertility would you suggest?

Next time I see him, in cherry season, I may pursue that topic of the *rare* flowering ?misidentified "nectarine" tree that stands alone, here, next to some rose bushes, and bears fruit.

Frank:"Understanding how DNA codes for form will help understand this, but I think that DNA is more likely to tell the truth while appearance may just be an mask."

As with some other humanly observable mysterious processes, the sum of the DNA interacting parts may add up to many more expressions than would seem to be expected from the units considered separately?

I see this morning on History Channel that we are at the "unlikely" point of recognising our human closeness with pigs, of beneficially using many pig tissues in humans.

I got 4 Google hits that could be reviewed, from:
"related to roses" nectarine.

On the search results, it appears at a glance that apples and roses are intelligently connected. Ok.

"Interestingly", that was a serpent-draped "apple" tree in the Garden of Eden. So, Tyrannosaurus rex apples came before degenerating into the wild nectarine-fertilising unruly roses, then?
