The ancient Chinese people believed peaches possess more vitality than any other fruit due to the tree’s gorgeous pink flowers appearing each season before the leaves. They also believed the branches and wood of the tree could ward off evil, using them to create magic rods and protective barriers in the entryways of their homes. Japanese folklore also taps into the spirituality of peaches; the age-old story of Momotaro, or Peach Boy, tells of a hero born from a peach pit who fought off evil and demons during the Edo period.
