Peach

The peach (Prunus persica) is the most widely grown stone fruit. It is native to China and was introduced to Europe 2,000 years ago. Peaches are now grown in temperate zones, worldwide. They were an important crop in Ontario by the 1880s and in British Columbia by the 1890s. Peach trees are 3–5 m tall with long, narrow, pointed leaves; single, pink flowers; and fruits (5–8 cm in diameter) with light fuzz. Peaches without fuzz are called nectarines. When ripe, varieties grown for the fresh market (in Canada, 80 per cent) have sweet, juicy flesh; those for processing (20 per cent) have firm, almost rubbery flesh adapted to mechanical handling.
