      No the don’t, but nectarines can also get lumped in there, and I think nectarines are better than either. The fruits all find their roots in China in prehistory, so depending on where when they made it to a region and the particulars of the linguistic groups of the time. Its like how limes and lemons weren’t always distinguished in all cultures.

        I agree, and disagree. Nectarines are the best of the three to eat by hand. But peaches, an apricots are better cooked.

        “Apple” has dozens of varieties that don’t taste all that similar either.
