The difference between mountain peach and pink peach

1. Tree shape difference

The mountain peach tree can grow up to 10 meters, and its bark is dark purple and relatively smooth. The peach tree can generally only grow to 8 meters, and its bark is dark reddish brown and relatively rough.

2. The difference between leaves

The leaves of the mountain peach are ovate-lanceolate, hairless on both the upper and lower surfaces, and have fine serrations on the leaf edges. The leaves of the peach tree are mostly oblong-lanceolate, smooth and hairless on the upper side, with a few short soft hairs on the lower side. The leaf edges may have coarse or fine serrations.

3. The difference between flowers

The petals of the mountain peach are obovate or nearly round, the flower color is mostly light pink or even white, and the flowers are small. The petals of the pink peach are oblong-elliptical to broadly obovate, and the flowers range from white to deep red. The flowers are larger than those of the wild peach.
