Perry, also known as pear cider, is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented pears, traditionally the perry pear. It has been common for centuries in England, particularly in Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire. It is also made in parts of South Wales and France, especially Normandy and Anjou, and in Commonwealth countries such as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Production Fruit Perry pears are thought to be descended from wild hybrids, known as ''wildings'', between the cultivated pear ''Pyrus communis'' subsp. ''communis'' and the now-rare wild pear ''Pyrus communis'' subsp. ''pyraster''. The cultivated pear ''P. communis'' was brought to northern Europe by the Romans. In the fourth century CE Saint Jerome referred to perry as ''piracium''. Wild pear hybrids were, over time, selected locally for desirable qualities and by the 1800s, many regional varieties had been identified. The majority of perry pear varieties in the UK originate from the counties o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pyrus Pyraster
''Pyrus pyraster'' ( syn. ''Pyrus communis subsp. pyraster''), also called European wild pear, is a species of pear of the family Rosaceae. This wild pear and ''Pyrus caucasica'' (syn. ''P. communis'' subsp. ''caucasica'') are thought to be the ancestors of the cultivated European pear (''Pyrus communis'' subsp. ''communis''). Both the wild pears are interfertile with domesticated pears. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish ''Pyrus pyraster'' from a common pear. ''Pyrus pyraster'' can reach an age of 100 to 150 years. Description ''Pyrus pyraster'' is a deciduous plant reaching in height as medium-sized shrub and as a tree.Pignatti S. - Flora d'Italia – Edagricole – 1982. Vol. I, pag. 603 Unlike the cultivated form the branches have thorns. The leaves are ovate with serrated margins. The flowers have white petals. The stamens are equal to the length of styles. The flowering period extends from April through May. The fruits reach in diameter and ripen in late s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
