Clingstone is a unique type of peach characterized by its flesh that clings tightly to the pit, making it different from freestone peaches, where the flesh separates easily. This variety is often used in canning and cooking due to its firm texture and sweet flavor. Clingstone peaches are typically harvested in late summer and are popular in many regions, especially in the United States. The name "clingstone" can also refer to a historic house located on an island in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Built in 1905, this stone structure is notable for its picturesque setting and distinctive architecture. The house has become a symbol of the area's rich history and is often admired by visitors exploring the bay.
