Description

Peach trees are fast-growing fruit trees that produce as early as 3 to 4 years when grown from a pit. However, most gardeners prefer to purchase young trees from nurseries or tree farms rather than try to grow a tiny, fragile seedling into a viable tree. Peach trees from nurseries or tree farms generally produce fruit in 1 to 2 years. When learning how to plant a peach tree, gardeners must understand that this delicate tree will require specific conditions and will be prone to disease and insect infestation. When these factors are taken into consideration and a peach tree is planted correctly to guard against them, it will produce tasty fruit each growing season.

The peach (Prunus persica) is a deciduous tree, native to North-West China, in the region between the Tarim basin and the north slopes of the Kunlun Shan mountains, where it was first domesticated and cultivated. It bears an edible juicy fruit also called a peach. The species name persica refers to its widespread cultivation in Persia, whence it was transplanted to Europe. It belongs to the genus Prunus which includes the cherry and plum, in the family Rosaceae. The peach is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell.
