%X The pressence of casparian strips on cork cells, and the structure and the development of the lattice-work phellem are described.  Three to four subsequent periderms are formed during a growing season in the young branch.  Most of these are parallel to each other.  Each periderm is composed of layers radially elongated thin-wall non-suberized 'cork ray cell', alternating radially with a flattened casparian strip bearing suberized cells.  The significance of the casparian strip in the cork of the stem is also described.
