According to BioExplorer.net. “The Prunus genus includes 430 different tree and shrub species”. The common peach blossom (Prunus persica) belongs to the Rosaceae family and is said to be originated in the Northern and Central area of China where the pink peach blossom is a symbol and sign of well-being and love. The peach tree is a deciduous tree and most likely the trees will lose all the leave by the end of November, or the beginning of December when the trees start the dormancy period for the winter here in Florida. Our trees will be in bloom around January with beautiful blossoms producing very delicate and soft flowers with a unique texture and sweet aroma reminiscent of almonds and honey around 2 to 3 weeks before Valentine’s Day in Florida. As the flower starts to open a soft white touch is seen, turning into a deep pink as the flower develops.
