Originated in china and was recorded somewhere in the 500 BC. Some chinese families placed peach branches outside their front doors to warned off evil spirit and as symbol of longevity and immorality.

Choose firm, well-shaped, fragrant peaches. Hold peaches in the palm of your hand and press gently to feel for ripeness (do not use finger for pressing because it damaged the looks of the fruit.) Store in refrigerator when ripe and will keep up to 3 days. If still hard store at room temperature.
