Many people do not realize that the peach is actually a member of the rose family. The peach was first cultivated in China and has been long-revered. In Chinese folklore peaches are associated with magical Taoism, with luck and immortality. Peaches are still given as a traditional birthday gift in China. Travelers along the ancient caravan routes would carry the peach seeds to Persia, long before the peach was cultivated in European countries.
