Picture

[edit ]

Why is there a picture of a nectarine at the head of the article, instead of one with a real peach? See for example

Nectarine section not entirely visible due to image

[edit ]

Insert non-formatted text here

Yeah, I can't see the first few words of that article. Something should be done about that, I feel. Unfortunately, I don't think I know how to do that myself.

Height of plant

[edit ]

In the introduction, 2 heights are given for the plant. One saying "5-10m" (approx 15-30 feet), and the other one is at the end of the intro saying "small tree, up to 15ft". I think what has happened here is that the editors who added those in are looking at different cultivars of peach and something should be added to say what the height of the most common cultivar is, or to mention that they vary greatly in height depending on cultivar and give some ranges. - Faded_Mantis (Talk) 13:42, 6 April 2009 (NZST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.90.9.244 (talk)

Reference China

[edit ]

Although its botanical name Prunus persica suggests the peach is native to Persia, peaches actually originated in China where they have been cultivated since the early days of Chinese culture. Peaches were mentioned in Chinese writings as far back as the tenth century BC and were a favoured fruit of kings and emperors [Citation needed] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.113.143 (talk • contribs) 01:07, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Grammar/usage

[edit ]

This article is chock-full of grammatical errors, usage errors, and poorly-written unsourced claims. It should really be re-written by someone fluent in English who is willing to provide support for claims or leave them out.

I would also mention there is some archaic usage: "whence" in the first section.
