PEACH TREE * PRUNUS PERSICA
- The tree and fruit is widely cultivated in
the United States and parts of Canada for home use and markets.
- In the northern prairie states and on the plains, and in
the colder parts of the mountain regions of the West, the peach
is little grown if not altogether absent, yet the range of adaptability
is constantly extending as the local conditions and requirements
become better known.
- The peach tree has wide commercial importance.
