This was the first perry pear tree we have. Back in 2014 we collected scion wood from several promising trees we found from Auckland to Dunedin and crown grafted onto this rootstock. The one from Waitahuna gradually became dominant and I removed the others. It is now a large prolific tree producing us a SV single tree perry. And we have now grafted on to other trees that are starting to to produce. #grafting #scion #perry #pear

The flavors of juicy pears, sweet pineapples, and zesty citrus fruits infuse this Mediterranean-inspired red wine sangria. It's ideal for sipping on hot summer days or serving at your next outdoor get-together.

Instructions: In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, orange juice, brandy, triple sec, and honey. Stir the honey until it is completely dissolved. Pour in the sliced pear, pineapple chunks, orange slices, lemon slices, and lime slices. To combine, gently stir everything together. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend. Serve the sangria over ice, if desired garnished with additional fruit slices.

Lenticels ( bet you have never heard of them; neither had I!) on a pear tree twig are specialised, porous tissue regions in the bark that act as "breathing holes," enabling gas exchange between the internal living tissues and the air. I had noticed them whilst photographing a terminal bud and thought they might be a disease!

They are seen as small, distinct, raised light-coloured specks contrasting against the darker bark. Because the corky outer layer (periderm) of a woody twig is otherwise completely waterproof and airtight, these pores are important for delivering oxygen to and removing carbon dioxide from the highly metabolically active cells underneath. Lenticular cork cambium is a localised layer of meristematic (dividing) cells positioned directly beneath the pore. Instead of producing dense, tightly sealed cork cells like the rest of the twig's bark, this specific zone produces loose tissue with tiny air filled tunnels between the cells.

Produced by the cambium , this tissue pushes outward to rupture the twig's outer epidermis.

These spaces create a clear, continuous path for gas diffusion deep into the secondary xylem and living bark.

Pear lenticels are originally initiated directly above a residual stoma (the microscopic gas port used by the young green shoot) as the twig
undergoes secondary growth and begins to expand. #botany #stoma #lenticels
