Peach trees are deciduous fruit trees that belong to the genus Prunus. They thrive in temperate climates and are known for their beautiful pink blossoms in spring. The trees can grow up to 25 feet tall and require well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight to produce fruit. The fruit of the peach tree, known as peaches, is sweet and juicy, making it a popular choice for eating fresh or using in desserts. Peach trees typically bear fruit in late summer, and they can be grown in home gardens or commercial orchards. Proper care, including pruning and pest management, is essential for healthy growth and fruit production.
