Peach blossom petals can be large and showy, or small and curved on margins. Peach blossom is borne singly on short peduncles (almost sessile) from lateral buds on 1-yr-old wood. There are usually 1-2 Peach blossom buds/node. Peach blossoms exhibit cleistogamy, pollinating themselves prior to opening.
