Prunus persica × Prunus americana is the hybrid between the peach Prunus persica (often a nectarine) and the wild American plum Prunus americana.. Hybrids were obtained in the 1940s at the University of Minnesota, and have been used in subsequent breeding, such as in the parentage of a plum called 'Minnesota No. 31221'. [1]
A nectaplum (interspecific nectarine) is a tradename for varieties that are a hybrid of nectarines and plums developed by Floyd Zaiger. Both nectarine and plum traits are easily detectable. It sprouts from an ornamental tree which makes it popular for home gardening, but is not large in the commercial market.

[2] Apriums resemble apricots on the outside. The flesh is usually dense and notable for its sweet taste due to a high content of fructose and other ...
The species' hybrid parentage was believed to be Prunus spinosa and P. cerasifera; [4] [5] however, recent cytogenetic evidence seem to implicate 2×, 4×, 6× [a] P. cerasifera as the sole wild stock from which the cultivated 6× P. domestica could have evolved.
