Peaches are commonly classified into two groups: (1) freestone peaches, where the flesh of the fruit easily separates from the pit (2) clingstone or cling peaches, where the flesh adheres firmly to the pit and is difficult to separate In general, many varieties of cling peaches tend to be firmer and milder, while freestone peaches tend to be softer and more tangy flavored.
Most people swear by the clingfree varieties, but your own personal taste is the best judge. Try a few small batches of different varieties.
Different varieties of peaches are different colours. They could be white or yellow or orange
Plums: yes, but not all varieties. Apricots: yes, but only certain varieties. better south of Mpls. - St. Paul. Nectarines, Peaches: maybe, specific varieties in the southern part of the state. All prunus (plum, apricot, peach) bloom early and are subject to late frost damage.
No not all varieties have the thick fuzz/hairs of heritage varieties but some amount is always present. Shaving peach fuzz has become something of a trend in the peach world. Big and even small farms can use brushing machines now to remove or reduce the amount of fuzz on peaches. recently, farmers have been able to "breed out" much of the fuzz as they develop new varieties over the years.
Chilling periods vary greatly not only among disparate fruits, but among different varieties of the same fruit as well. For example, some varieties of peaches require 250 hours of chilling while others demand as many as 1,000 hours.

The number of peaches in a cup depends entirely on the size of the peaches and whether and how they are cut up.
Peaches come in a variety of sizes, but on average they are about half a pound, so 5 pounds of peaches would be 10 peaches.
