Fruits are widely grown in various parts of the world with different varieties available, each with its own unique flavor, color, and size. Each of them is typically round or slightly flattened with a characteristic deep groove running from the stem end to the tip. The skin can be fuzzy or smooth, depending on the variety. The flesh inside is soft, sweet, and usually golden or yellow in color, although some varieties may have white flesh.

Peach trees are deciduous and produce beautiful pink flowers in the spring before developing the fruit. The fruit ripens in the summer, and the harvest season varies depending on the region.
