SC - Peaches in Northen Europe

[david friedman]

Brokk asked about peaches in Scandinavia or northern Europe.

C. Anne Wilson, in Food and Drink in Britain, mentions peaches being
planted in the royal gardens at Westminster in the 13th c.  It sounds from
the context as if they might have been somewhat unusual in England at that
time.  By the end of our period (actually, 1629) someone in England listed
22 varieties of peaches.  I don't have any information for Scandinavia,
though.
