in the past peach tree was cultivated, at least in europe, for everything else than its tasteful fruit because it was considered suspicious. The sentence is not very well written -- I would say I n the past, the peach tree was cultivated, at least in E urope, for everything other than its tasty fruit because it was considered suspicious. ) It means: In the past, people (in Europe, and maybe elsewhere) grew peach trees, but not for the fruit.

Suspicious? What was the peach tree suspicious of? Was it the squirrels which were up to no good? I wonder.
