Can you give the exact English term for this (if there is one)?
If not, an explanation will do.

| | clingstone(s) (peaches) | Explanation:
συμπύρηνος -η -ο [simbírinos] E5 : (βοτ.) για καρπό του οποίου ο πυρήνας είναι ενωμένος με τη σάρκα: Συμπύρηνα ροδάκινα. [λόγ. συμ- (δες συν-) πυρην- (δες πυρήνας) -ος]
Most types of peaches are "freestone" or "clingstone," but some are "semi-freestone." The "stone" is the pit in the middle of the peach. The pit in a "freestone" peach separates easily from the fruit, while the pit in a "clingstone" peach is firmly attached to the fruit. Most fresh peaches available in your produce department are "freestone," so they are easy to eat. "Clingstone" peaches are often used to make canned peaches
