Peaches

The peach (Prunus persica) is a deciduous tree that produces sweet, edible fruits known as peaches, with smooth-skinned varieties called nectarines recognized commercially as separate fruits. Believed to have been domesticated in China around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, the peach is now widely cultivated, with China accounting for 65% of global production in 2023. This species belongs to the rose family, Rosaceae, and is related to other stone fruits like cherries and plums. The peach tree is also valued for its ornamental blossoms, making it popular in gardens and landscapes worldwide.
