[Avodah] nectarines (was: 15 different fruits on Tu B'shvat)

[Elazar M. Teitz]

<fruits like nectarines which a Jew shouldn't be making (although eating is fine).>

     What's wrong with "making" nectarines? They're not the result of grafting.  To quote Wikipedia, "Though fuzzy peaches and nectarines are commercially regarded as different fruits, with nectarines often erroneously believed to be a crossbreed between peaches and plums, or a 'peach with a plum skin', they belong to the same species as peaches. Several genetic studies have concluded in fact that nectarines are created due to a recessive gene, whereas a fuzzy peach skin is dominant. Nectarines have arisen many times from peach trees, often as bud sports."
