Prunus persica
Two years ago as Becky was traveling home from visiting a friend in southern Washington, she decided to pick up several boxes of peaches and nectarines (which are actually different varieties of the same Prunus persica species) for us to can and freeze-dry. As we worked, we dutifully scooped all the pits and peels into the bowl to be taken out to the compost pile.
A couple of weeks later, Aaron used the tractor to dig a long trench about 18” deep in our terrible soil. I pretty much filled the trench with material from the compost pile, which at two weeks was nowhere near done composting. But, you know, I needed that trench for planting. So I topped the garden waste with some proper compost or topsoil—can’t remember which, and planted some veggies I hoped would mature before winter set in. I think I failed. But the following spring—last year—I had a pretty good crop of tomatoes from that trench.
This year as I was preparing to put some red onion sets where the tomatoes had grown last year, I noticed some green shoots. “Those leaves look very much like peach or nectarine leaves. But I didn’t plant any trees here.”
And it finally occurred to me that these were the peach and nectarine pits from nearly 18 months previous.
So far, we’ve got about 17 trees. I wanted to leave them right there, but they had to be moved to prevent the deer from eating and destroying them as they did the beautiful peach tree I planted last year. So a dozen got moved to the fenced garden area, where we are putting all the fruit trees to keep the deer from assaulting them. King of the Picky Eaters took three home to put in his yard, and the remaining ones insisted they could not leave the boulders they had become attached to.
Most of them are growing really well and some are already over three feet tall. Will they overwinter here? I’ve got no idea. Some peach varieties do grow in our climate, but these are just a bunch of seedlings. We’ll have to wait until next year to see whether they’ll survive.
In the meantime, I’ve got a bunch of peach leaves. And in my research over the years, I’d seen a few references to peach leaves being medicinal. Turns out, the whole dang tree is medicinal—blossoms, leaves, fruit, seed, bark, and roots. I feel like I won the lottery. (Well, not really, but this is probably about as close as I’m going to get.)
HARVEST
The leaves are harvested spring and summer. The blossoms, when you see them. The fruit when it’s ripe. The seeds are a bit trickier. Let the pit dry for three to four days to make breaking into the pit a little easier. Then use needle nose pliers or a vise grip to hold the pit and a hammer to crack the pit and free the seed, which will look like a white almond. Harvest the stem bark and roots in the fall.
PREPARATIONS
Unfortunately, very little information was provided on how exactly to prepare the medicine. I’ve included everything I could find.
Decoction: Stem bark, leaves, seeds.[1]
Infusion: Stem bark, leaves, seeds.[2]
Syrup: While you can gently cook a peach in sugar syrup and then strain to remove the peach pulp, it’s easier just to open a can or jar of peaches. Use peaches canned in heavy syrup, if possible. Peaches canned in fruit juice won’t be as effective.
Tincture: Recently dried leaf, 1:5, 50% alcohol. Dosage: 10-60 drops up to 3 times per day.[3] Dry root chopped or powdered then tinctured in alcohol for 48 hours at room temperature and then dried.[4]
