This is us next week. At Beau Vista orchards the early apples (Tom Putt) and Dyer’s Perry pears are ready for harvesting and fermenting into TeePee Cider. Early this year due to ideal grow conditions from Spring onwards . Woodcut by Chris Wormell #orchards#perry#cider#apples#pears#wairarapa#aotearoaNZ
I couldn't leave my #orchard theme behind without posting a picture of some of our #produce. However, I couldn't decide whether to go with #apples or #pears, so I've ended up with both.
On the left, we have Russet apples, and those are Conference pears on the right.
'Russeting' is the "partial or complete coverage of a fruit with rough patches of greenish-brown to yellowish-brown colour". Both these varieties exhibit 'russeting'.
