Narrative

Hendre Huffcap (PI 541205). -- A mid season perry pear with medium acids and low tannins. Origin: Traditional old English cultivar from the Bromsberrow and Haresfield districts of Gloucestershire. Related to, but distinct from the Yellow Huffcap. The name Huffcap may have come from a potent ale that could ''lift one s cap'', or possibly from an alternate spelling Huffcup referring to lifting your cup when making a toast. Fruit: Small, elliptical, often irregular, 46 to 54 mm long, 43 to 50 mm diam. with a distinctly bulging calyx end; no stem basin or calyx basin; calyx upright. Skin green to yellow, with slight orange flush; slight russet at stem and calyx end; lenticels numerous, but small and inconspicuous. Flesh has concentration of stone cells near calyx end and some around core. Ripens early to mid-October in England s West Midlands, late September to early October in western Oregon; easily shaken from tree. Tree: Mature tree is large with few upright limbs and wide crotch angles; early flowering; fruit scab is rare. Perry: Fruit milled up to 2 weeks after harvest; juice acidity 0.37, tannins 0.08, specific gravity 1.059; reliably produces a light, good quality vintage with low tannins. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties
