Prunus persica, commonly known as the peach tree, is a deciduous fruit tree prized for its sweet, juicy fruit and spectacular display of pink spring blossoms. Fun fact: peaches are members of the rose family, making them close relatives of roses, cherries, plums, and almonds. Their ornamental beauty and delicious harvest make them a favorite for home orchards.
