The fruit of the sun, from China
Native to China, where it symbolises immortality, the Peach tree blooms before it even leafs out, covering its bare branches in a striking bright pink.
A lover of heat and sun, it thrives in the Tunisian climate and yields juicy, fragrant summer fruit that few others can match.
"The Peach tree blooms before it dresses — the boldness of spring."
