Lemon Cling dates back to before the Revolutionary War. From all accounts it originated in South Carolina, probably in Charleston. A number of seminal varieties, all very similar to Lemon Cling, are cultivated; all of these some writers combine under the name Lemon Cling. Robert Kennedy introduced the fruit into New York about 1800 where it became known as Kennedy's Carolina or Kennedy's Lemon Clingstone. The variety is very popular in many sections, especially California, as a canning peach. It was placed on the fruit-list of the American Pomological Society in 1862. Tree vigorous, highly productive, bears regularly; leaves crenate, with reniform glands; flowers small, deep red; fruit large, oval, resembling a lemon; apex terminating in a large nipple; skin deep yellow, brownish-red where exposed; flesh firm, with a deep, lemon color, red at the stone, juicy, sprightly, vinous, with an agreeable acidity; very good when perfectly ripe; stone clings; ripens in September.
