A yellow clingstone grown by a Mr. Albright, Placerville, California. |
The pit in a freestone peach separates easily from the flesh, while the pit in a clingstone is firmly attached to the fruit. |
Most non-melting types are clingstone, meaning the flesh adheres to the pit when ripe. |
It resembles Elberta in size, shape and season but is a clingstone. |
Listed as a yellow, clingstone peach coming from Bordeaux, France, many years ago. |
Next to the pineapple is the breadfruit, which in taste somewhat resembles our clingstone peach. |
