Dwarf Peach (Prunus persica 'Bonanza')

The Dwarf Peach ‘Bonanza’ (Prunus persica ‘Bonanza’) is a cultivar of the peach tree (Prunus persica). Therefore, its origin is tied to the origins of the peach itself.

Peaches (Prunus persica) originated in **China**. Through trade routes and natural spread, they then made their way to Persia (modern-day Iran), and then to Europe.

While ‘Bonanza’ is a modern cultivar, its genetic lineage traces back to China. However, because it is a cultivar developed for specific traits (dwarf size, in this case), it could have been bred anywhere peaches are cultivated, such as the **United States**. Therefore, it doesn’t necessarily have a single “native region” in the traditional sense.

**In Summary:**

* **Original Ancestry:** China (for the peach species)
* **Cultivar Development Location:** Could be the United States or any other region with substantial peach cultivation.
