Peach: Iranian peaches can be red, pink, yellow,
or a combination of those colors. On one side of the fruit is a distinctive vertical
indentation. Peaches and nectarines look very similar, but they can be told apart
by their skin texture: peaches are fuzzy and dull, while nectarines are smooth
and shiny. |

The peach tree is a small stature, short-lived tree, only reaching
about 2meter in height and living for about 12 years. Most varieties are self-pollinating,
therefore only one tree will need to be planted to obtain fruit.

Peach tree leaves are simple, long (7.5 to 15 CM), fold distinctly
inward, and curve downward. The leaves and buds of peach trees look similar to
nectarines. The margins of the leaf are finely toothed.
