Peach

The Peach Tree is a fruit tree that is grown throughout the warmer regions with temperate climates. They produce the widely eaten, and common, fruit peach that are used in pies, cobblers, ice cream, and more. The yellow-fleshed varieties are rich with Vitamin A. They are small to median, and rarely grow higher than 21 feet high. They have glossy green leaves with a long point, and usually have glands at their base that secrete fluid that is enticing to ants and other insects.
