Peach, on the other hand, is one of those fruit that doesn’t seem to have changed much since its wild form. According to historical findings, the first peaches were cultivated back in 6,000BC in Zhejiang Province of China. Proper domesticated peaches first appeared in Japan, roughly 1,200 years later. They were already similar the modern cultivated forms with larger and more compressed stones. Some people may think that it came from the desert quandong (Santalum acuminatum), but this species, though they also bare fruit and are considered relative to the wild peach, is actually a distantly related flowering plant.
