| Description | Prunus persica, more commonly known as peach, is a native deciduous tree from China. Peach is a low, broad tree that can grow between 15-25 ft tall. These trees are fast growing and typically only love between 10-20 years. The tree can grow in most soils (sandy, loam, or clay) and prefers well drained soil. Prunus perisca is self-fertilizing and is pollinated by bees. It is perhaps most famous for its edible fruit, peach. Peaches are highly valuable crops and are high in vitamin A.
