No, Nectarines are smooth skinned, it is peaches and apricots that have a fuzzy skin.
Nectarines are not a product of cross pollination. They are peaches that do not have fuzz. Some peach seeds produce trees that bear fruit that is not fuzzy. Sometimes a peach tree will bear both nectarines and peaches. Growers commonly graft branches from nectarine trees onto peach trees in order to produce nectarines.

Nectarines are a genetic mutation of peaches, in fact growing from genetically mutated peach trees. They are virtually identical fruits except that nectarines are smooth skinned, and peaches are fuzzy.
where were nectarines originated
No, nectarines are not citrus. Perhaps you are confusing nectarine with tangerine? Citrus fruit include tangerine, citrange, tangelo, orange, pomelo, grapefruit, lemon, lime, citron, and kumquat. Nectarines are just peaches that don't have fuzzy skins. They can even grow on the same tree as regular peaches.
fuzzy
A nectarine has been selectively bred to have a slick skin with none of the fuzz of a peach. Other than that it's hard to tell the difference. Nectarines are a little more tart, but they taste very similar to a peach. You can use them just like peaches in baking or in making jams and preserves.
No, nectarines are peaches that have a recessive inactive version of the gene that produces peachfuzz.
yes
Yes nectarines can be canned. You may leave them whole or sliced. Boil in a syrup or water bath and can them.
No, nectarines and peaches do not grow on the same tree. Nectarines and peaches are two different fruits that come from different varieties of trees, even though they are closely related.
