Detailed description of the autumn pear variety in Memory of Yakovlev
At one time, in the gardens of the Central part of Russia, except for currants, raspberries and cherries, practically nothing else grew.
But the work of breeders does not stand still, therefore, over the years, many varieties of fruit trees have been bred that are capable of growing and bearing fruit in a harsh climate. These trees include pear variety in Memory of Yakovlev.
Description and characteristics of the variety, terms of fruit ripening
The pear variety in Memory of Yakovlev was bred by breeders of the Michurin All-Russian Research Institute. It was obtained by crossing the Tema varieties with the French Olivier de Serre.
P.N. Yakovlev, S.P. Yakovlev, Ya.S. Nesterov and R.M. Korshikova participated in the breeding of the autumn variety. This is their long-term and fruitful work.
The tree is fast-growing, self-fertile, low. Has a rounded crown, medium density. The skeleton branches are located at right angles to the tree.
Numerous ringlets are formed on the branches with age. Standard branches and main branches are painted gray. The bark is flaky.
It differs from other varieties in high kidney awakening, as well as shoot-forming ability. Fruit formations are simple and complex ringlets.
Last year's shoots are light brown. They are cranked. There are few lentils on them and there are thorns.
Conical buds are bent away from the branch and have a large subrenal cushion. The leaves are medium in size. Inversely ovate with a twisted top.

Average yield per tree 25 kg. In good years, with sufficient and timely care, yields can be higher.
Requires abundant watering... With good watering, it forms a high yield and increases the palatability of the fruit.
Does not suffer from diseases like scab.

Planting and leaving pears in memory of Yakovlev
Any planting of a fruit tree begins with the selection of a seedling. When examining a plant, pay attention to its condition.
The seedling must look healthy... Without any black spots. No signs of decay. Have fresh, not dry wood. Healthy roots.
You should not buy seedlings from the market, it is better to buy it in special fruit nurseries.
Landing place
You need to plant a pear on a flat, dry place. It should be well lit by the sun. Places with a high groundwater table are not suitable for growing a tree. The soil should be fertile and well fertilized.
The fact is that the pear does not like frequent transplants, so we define a permanent place for it right away.
Variety in Memory of Yakovlev self-fertile, so no pollinator planting is requiredwhich is very good for small areas.
To plant a tree, we dig a deep hole. The pear has a highly developed root system, therefore it needs a lot of space... The depth of the pit is at least 1-1.2 m.Diameter is 0.8-1 m.
Since the pear loves fertile soil, so into the pit fertilizer should be applied:
- humus 2.5-3 buckets;
- sand 2 buckets;
- potassium sulfate 3 tablespoons;
- superphosphate 1 cup.
Mix with the earth that was dug out of the hole.
Landing
In a week, proceed directly to planting... Drive a peg into the middle of the pit. The peg should be such that on the surface it is slightly higher than the seedling. This is about 0.5 m.
Next, pour a mound from the soil prepared in advance. Take a seedling, and carefully spread the roots on a mound, cover it with soil.
Advice: for a successful landing, it is better if you do it together.
Cover the top of the planting with ordinary earth. While planting, shake the fathoms so that there are no voids between the roots.
Pay attention to the location of the root collar: it should be 5-6 cm above ground level.
After the tree has been covered, the earth around it needs to be compacted. Now pour it in two or three doses... Pour out one bucket first, and after the water has been absorbed, pour out the next.
To reduce water evaporation and prevent weeds, mulch the periosteal circle... Spread a layer of humus or peat in a layer of 5-6 cm.
Further care of the autumn variety
Further we take care of pears like apple trees... Watering is required plentiful, especially if the summer is dry. Weeding of the near-stem circle from weeds. Fertilizing and disease control.
The difference in pear care is covered with a lot of snow in winter... Some gardeners douse the bole with water before freezing.
It is covered with ice, which protects the pear from freezing. Since young pears are more prone to freezing than apple trees.
We use fungicides for prophylaxis against diseases. Spray in early spring or late autumn plants 3% Bordeaux mixture.
During the flowering pear you can use drugs Strobi or Inta-Vir.
Fertilizers can be scattered over the snow in early spring. Nitrogen with urea or urea is introduced.In the summer, add potassium together with watering. Phosphorus is required after the growing season. Add superphosphate while digging.
How to form a crown in a pear
The crown of pears usually forms naturally.so no special trimming is required. But now, if the branches are frozen, then they form many spinning tops.
In this case, some of these shoots should be cut off, and the rest should be given a horizontal position. Pear bears fruit only on horizontal branches.
Reproduction
In order to preserve the maternal characteristics of new seedlings, it is better to propagate a pear by layering... To do this, select a branch on the tree. But since this is a tree, and it will not work to bend the branch like a currant, you can use another option.
Place a box with soil under the selected branch. Before filling the box with earth, put plastic wrap in it. The film will prevent moisture from evaporating from the box.
Now bend the branch to the box. Make several cross cuts on it and pin it to the soil. Cover with earth on top.
Maintain moisture in the drawer... The roots on the branch are formed throughout the season, but it is too early to transplant the plant in the fall. In winter, insulate the box with the seedling well and cover it with snow.
Thus we have been growing a seedling for two years... After this period, the plant is separated from the tree and transplanted to a permanent place.
With this method of reproduction, the layers retain their maternal characteristics and begin to bear fruit earlier than ordinary seedlings.
From all that has been written, those facts should be highlighted that the variety Pamyati Yakovlev is very convenient for growing... Even a novice gardener can handle it.
It is widespread in the gardens of the central part of Russia, as well as in Siberia and the Far East.
Gardeners liked this variety for unpretentiousness, early maturity, disease resistance and high winter hardiness... Delicious fruits without astringency.
Having planted a pear in memory of Yakovlev on your site, you will not regret taking a place.
