Peaches are commonly classified into two groups: (1) freestone peaches, where the flesh of the fruit easily separates from the pit (2) clingstone or cling peaches, where the flesh adheres firmly to the pit and is difficult to separate In general, many varieties of cling peaches tend to be firmer and milder, while freestone peaches tend to be softer and more tangy flavored.
2 cling and freestone
Yes they are Freestone
Either Freestone or Cling peaches may be used for making pies.
freestone fruit - means the pit doesn't cling to the fruit. Contrast this with clingstone (example cling peaches) fruit where it is more difficult to remove the pit. Personally I've found it just as difficult to remove the pit from Red Haven peaches as Clingstone peaches. So while I don't claim to have lots of experience, I don't see much difference between freestone and clingstone.
When you slice a freestone peach, the fruit comes away from the stone easily. You cannot "twist open" a cling peach without making an enormous mess. Also remember that cling peaches are usually a lighter color than a stone on the inside.
