Peach Tree

Prunus persica

The peach tree is a fruit-bearing tree that grows in certain regions of Nepal. With its beautiful pink blossoms and lush foliage, the peach tree adds a touch of elegance to the landscape. Peach trees typically take 2 to 4 years to mature and bear fruit, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Peaches are known for their soft, juicy flesh and sweet flavor. They are enjoyed fresh, used in desserts, added to salads, or made into preserves and sauces. Peach cultivation adds a delightful fruit option to Nepal’s agricultural bounty, providing both visual and culinary pleasures.
