The peach tree, Prunus persica, is a deciduous tree, native to China, where it was first cultivated. It bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach. [1] The peach is a species of the genus Prunus. The species name persica refers to its widespread cultivation in Persia, from whence it was transplanted to Europe. It is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus within the genus Prunus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell. Prunus persica belongs to the subfamily Prunoideae of the family Rosaceae.
