Peach Tree Alcohol-Free Liquid Extract Peach Tree Prunus persica Dried Bark Glycerite Herbal Supplement 2 oz

The peach (Prunus persica) is a deciduous tree, native to Northwest China, in the region between the Tarim Basin and the north slopes of the Kunlun Shan mountains, where it was first domesticated and cultivated. It bears an edible juicy fruit also called a peach. The peach grows to 4-10 m (13-33 ft) tall and 6 inches in diameter. The leaves are lanceolate, 7-16 cm (2.8-6.3 in) long, 2-3 cm (0.79-1.18 in) broad, pinnately veined. The flowers are produced in early spring before the leaves; they are solitary or paired, 2.5-3 cm diameter, pink, with five petals. The fruit has yellow or whitish flesh, a delicate aroma, and a skin that is either velvety or smooth in different cultivars. The flesh is very delicate and easily bruised in some cultivars, but is fairly firm in some commercial varieties, especially when green. The single, large seed is red-brown, oval shaped, approximately 1.3-2 cm long, and is surrounded by a wood-like husk.
