| Peach (Prunus persica L.) in Missouri, 2005. Peach is the symbol of human longevity in Taoist philosophy. In China, Mother Hsi Wang Mu's peach garden appeared only once every 3000 years, when the resulting fruit were used to make the god's elixir of immortality. In Roman mythology, the peach was the fruit of Venus, and Albertus Magnus believed that peaches were aphrodisiacs.
