Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Americana) for Friday, August 9, 2019 (Season 35, Episode 52, encore presentation):
It’s the official fruit of the District of Columbia
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Maya Wright, a senior from Peachtree City, Georgia (Yesterday’s total: $7,800)
Claire Sattler, a senior from Bonita Springs, Florida (Yesterday’s total: $21,800)
Emma Arnold, a junior from Owings Mills, Maryland (Yesterday’s total: $19,000)
Remember, this is a two-day total-point affair. Today’s scores get added to yesterday’s to determine the champion, and because today’s scores get doubled in Final Jeopardy!, Claire has an effective lead of $1,400 over Emma and $7,000 over Maya.

Correct response: What is a cherry?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Washington, DC is a city known for its beautiful cherry blossoms, after Japan sent over 3,000 of them to the United States in 1912 as a gift of friendship. DC began a two-week cherry blossom festival in the 1990s and the cherry became the official district fruit in 2006.
And because I never will pass up an opportunity for this: I dislike Parson Weems. Another point of entry into this clue, although it is entirely incorrect, is the Parson Weems mythological story about the young George Washington, enthusiastic about a new hatchet, cutting down his father’s prized young cherry tree, and having virtuously owned up to it when questioned, all is forgiven.
