Word origin

The word 'peach' comes from the Latin word 'persica', which in turn comes from the ancient Greek word 'persikฤ“'. The peach tree is native to Northwest China, where it was first domesticated and cultivated. Peaches have been grown for thousands of years, with references to them found in ancient Chinese texts and art. They were introduced to the rest of the world via the Silk Road, and are now widely cultivated in many countries for their delicious fruit.
