Peaches thrive in temperate climates. More than 300 varieties of peaches (Prunus persica) grow and flourish in the United States, and over 2,000 varieties globally, although the fruit is native to China. Peaches are classified in three groups: freestone, clingstone and semi-freestone. The classifications refer to the way the fruit's flesh clings to the pit.
The peach, Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, is native to China. From China, peaches were introduced to Persia, Greece, and temperate European countries including Italy, Spain, and France. Peaches were introduced to the southeastern United States more than 300 years ago when the Spanish visited the Florida region in the 1500s.
