Amusing Anecdote – The peach comes originally from China where it is a symbol of fertility and immortality. Peach tree flowers are therefore used to decorate bridal crowns in Asia. In France peaches have always been a star among fruits since Louis XIV used to particularly enjoy eating a variety called “Nipples of Venus” which were grown for him in the orchards of the Palace of Versailles!
