Why are peaches fuzzy?

I figured it kept smaller, nutrient sucking insects from penetrating the plant skin. I have hairy arms and a chest. The hair keeps mosquitoes from reaching my skin. No doubt, those smooth, hairless guys you see in the porn flicks get eaten alive when they walk in a mosquito zone.

Reduces water vapor loss, keeps bugs off.

The above answers seem right on to me…now…

Why are frogs green?
Why is dirt brown?
Why do birds fly?

Because if it were smooth, they be nectarines.

While I am pretty sure @LuckyGuy and @Tropical_Willie have given you the answer, here’s a less likely but more entertaining guess. All of nature is built up of fractals, and the ones used to make peaches just used fuzzy math. And @LuckyGuy, the bad news is those baby-skinned porn actors get eaten alive in mosquito zones. But the upside is they get eaten alive on the set as well.

Thanks, LG & TW!
