Peach trees are deciduous fruit trees that belong to the genus Prunus. They typically grow to a height of 15 to 25 feet and have a spreading canopy. The trees produce beautiful pink flowers in spring, which are followed by the development of sweet, juicy peaches. These trees thrive in warm climates and require well-drained soil for optimal growth. They are usually planted in orchards and can be cultivated for commercial fruit production or home gardening. Peach trees need regular pruning and care to ensure healthy fruit yields each season.
