| I have a Nectarine tree mis-marked as peach. I have 3 other peach trees nearby. Can I get away with the peach trees as pollinator for the nectarine? Just wonder. The nectarine looks the most healthy among the 4 trees. It set fruits a couple of years ago. But the fruits were all taken by the wild creatures. |

| Most peach and nectarine are self fruitful. They are wind pollinated. They are also inter fruitful. So a peach can pollinate a nectarine and nectarine can pollinate a peach.. |

| Peach is to nectarine as white-fleshed peach is to yellow-fleshed peach: its just a genetic variation within the same species. If you look at the USDA classifications they put peaches and nectarines both under "prunus persica". Scott |
