Like nectarines, they have a crease on one side. The flesh and skin color vary greatly with cultivar (yellow, green, red, blue or purple) and unlike nectarines, the color is not mottled.\u00a0 The skin is smooth and thin; the\u00a0<em>stone<\/em>\u00a0is usually oval, pointed at one end, and slightly rough. Leaves are\u00a0<em>alternate<\/em>, shape also varies with cultivar but is usually wider and shorter than peach, being more or less\u00a0<em>ovate<\/em>\u00a0(egg-shaped), with finely\u00a0<em>serrate<\/em>\u00a0<em>margins<\/em>. Showy white flowers have five\u00a0<em>petals<\/em>\u00a0and prominent\u00a0<em>stamens<\/em>.
