The best varieties of pear seedlings

Each of us dreams of having on our own plot exactly those fruit trees that will delight you with a high-quality harvest. Today we decided to talk about pears, namely about their varieties, which can satisfy all our requirements.

It is quite clear that these requirements will differ, because there are a lot of us around, and varieties will need to be selected for different regions, which is also important. It is not only climate change that plays a role here, but also daylight hours, soil quality, the sharpness of the seasons, the annual rainfall, and so on.

Summer varieties

Early pears are determined by the fastest ripening, but they do not lag behind fruits that ripen much longer in quality. So, pear trees that are ready to please us even in the summer: Duchess Summer, Berlet, Morettini, Favorite Klappa, Melting, Rosie, Etude Kievsky, Ultra early.

Autumn pears

If you are interested in fruits that ripen a little later, but are already stored better than the early ones, the following will suit you: the Veles variety, Krasnobokaya, Leningradskaya, Larinskaya, Michurinskaya Krasavitsa, Moskovskaya (Moskvichka), Otradnevskaya, Naryadnaya Efimova, Yakovleva's pear variety, Uralochka, Sverdlovchanka , Gorneda.

When choosing which types of pears are best suited for planting in the country, you should not forget that many of them may need pollinating varieties.

When choosing varieties for the Urals, Siberia, for the Moscow region or even for Ukraine, we would advise you to start not only from cute names and ripening periods, but also be sure to pay attention to the characteristics of plants.

It is worth noting the fact that many types of pears and apples can grow practically without leaving, that is, it will be enough to plant trees in the garden or even outside the yard, sometimes water them, harvest and prune only those branches that interfere with you. But it is quite realistic that you will choose columnar varieties of pears, Chizhovskaya, Bera, Lada, Severyanka, Forest Beauty, Maria or others with large and sweet fruits. In this case, the trees will definitely need stable care if you want to have a consistent harvest, of course.

What kind of pear to plant

• First of all, decide on the possibilities of planting trees in your own summer cottage. It will be most correct to plant early, mid-season and late species, so you will get sweet and juicy fruits throughout the warm period and even late autumn. It will be enough to plant only three varieties of pear trees in the country - one at a time, to provide them with stable care, and several boxes in the barn will always be filled with fragrant fruits.
• Next, you should definitely choose whether tall or dwarf plants suit you, decide on the names of trees in accordance with the first two requirements and choose several options for yourself.
• Now that you have identified about a dozen trees for planting, carefully read the description of the varieties that you have chosen. Place the greatest emphasis on agricultural technology and determine which of the species is most suitable for your site. Here it is imperative to take into account the planting site, the composition of the soil and its acidity, the level of groundwater and frost resistance of the tree, the possibility of replanting and precautions that will help save the tree from pests and diseases. Also, be sure to check the care of seedlings and mature trees.
• Having studied such information, you can always choose exactly those trees that will normally take root and will bear fruit on your site.

It doesn't matter whether you choose pear varieties for Siberia or the southern regions, be sure to do this work, because having planted any seedling on your site that you do not know anything about, you can not wait for a good result.

Every gardener dreams of growing a good harvest of delicious pears on his site. Using the information from our article, it will not be so difficult to do this.

It is still believed that in central Russia pear - the culture is secondary, because of the weak, in comparison with the apple tree, winter hardiness.

This has been the case for many years. but modern pear varieties even more winter-hardy than new promising apple varieties for the Central region, for the Moscow region.

Pear varieties of the Timiryazev Academy selection: Lada, Kafedralnaya, Chizhovskaya, Potapovskaya, Otradnenskaya, Large-fruited Susova, Akademicheskaya, Moskvichka, Memory of Anzin, Memory of Zhegalov are fast-growing, winter-hardy, high-yielding, resistant to scab, with apples of less excellent quality and with fruits of less excellent quality , the frequency of fruiting.

Pear seedlings begin to bear fruit in the 3-4th year after planting, and apple trees only in the 5-6th year, and besides, they quickly increase the yield at a young age. Up to 10-12 years, pear productivity is almost 2 times higher than that of apple trees.
Another advantage of the pear is its resistance to black crayfish, which affects the apple tree quite strongly.

Of course, the pear is more demanding in terms of heat, light, soil fertility and care. For her, you need to choose a sunny place with deep fertile soil or fill a large planting hole with specially prepared soil if the soil on the site is poor. However, the pear will more than thank the gardener for the care.

Pear trees are durable and bear fruit for decades. The availability of varieties with different periods of consumption and modern storage methods allow you to have fresh pears from August to winter.

The fruits of dessert varieties of pears have an oily, dense, but juicy and melting flesh in the mouth, excellent taste and delicate pear aroma. They contain the substance arbutin, which is capable of removing salts of heavy metals from the human body.

Basic requirements for varieties of pears in the middle strip

• early maturity - the beginning of fruiting in the 3-4th year after planting
• annual harvests
• low growth, the height of the tree is usually no more than 4 m
• resistance to diseases (scab, moniliosis, spot, powdery mildew) and pests (tick, aphid, moth)
• winter hardiness and frost resistance
• attractiveness of fruits (large, beautiful, brightly colored).

The disadvantages include a short storage period and poor transportability of the fruit.

On a personal plot, you must have at least 3 varieties of pears - summer, autumn and winter. If there is not enough space, you can expand the assortment by inoculating several varieties on a skeleton tree (Tema pear seedlings are suitable).

Healthy, well-developed seedlings are the key to success. It is preferable to plant two years old.
Seedlings of the first grade must be without leaves, not dried, not damaged. The number of main thick roots is not less than 5, and their length is not less than 30 cm. The presence of healed wounds on the seedling is allowed. The number of lateral branches in a two-year tree is 3-5, one-year-olds can be unbranched. The height of the trunk of a two-year-old (from the root collar to the first branch) is 40-60 cm, and the diameter is about 1.7 cm.

By the name of the species, the shape is called pear-shaped and is now used to describe not only fruits. The plant belongs to the Pink family, the distribution area is a place with a warm, favorable climate.

Fruit trees called pears: features of agricultural technology

Through the efforts of scientists, residents of Siberia and the Urals can now get a tree with fragrant and spicy fruits on their site. In order not to be disappointed in the idea of ​​growing pears in the open field, you should get acquainted with the species diversity of the plant and choose the most suitable variety. Depending on the period, a distinction is made between spring and autumn planting of seedlings. They have no fundamental differences, except that the spring one carries the danger of accelerating the growth of the ground part of the plant to the detriment of the roots, and the autumn one - the likelihood of damage to the weak stem by rodents or frosts. Check out the article on dwarf pears.

Rules for choosing a pear seedling

Each gardener decides for himself when to plant pear seedlings, the main thing is to follow the technology. On the market or in a specialized store, a two- or one-year-old pear without visible damage is selected.

There are rules for choosing a seedling:

• the trunk diameter should be about 12 mm;
• the length of the roots is at least 30 cm, they must be elastic, without scab and growths;
• the color of the trunk and twigs is the same on the entire surface, without raids, cuts, spots.

The preference in choosing a variety is from a local nursery. For landscape design, varieties of decorative pears are used. Its fruits are tasteless and practically inedible, but the appearance serves as a wonderful decoration for the view. A rare guest in Russia is a curly pear. Its purpose is decorative, the fruits are edible, but hardly anyone will want to eat them, since they have a pronounced bitter taste.

Place and scheme of planting fruit trees

Timely and correct planting of a pear begins with choosing a place that should be in that part of the site where the tree will get the maximum amount of sunlight and protection from strong winds.

Preference should be given to a small hill, where the roots will not suffer with a close occurrence of groundwater. In an adult pear, they can penetrate to a depth of more than 6 meters. The composition of the soil is of great importance. For a fruit tree, it needs light, fertile, black earth. If the land does not meet the requirements, it is saturated with all nutrients by hand. The relative position of plants in the garden depends on the estimated height of adult trees, a step-by-step scheme for planting pears:

1. between tall varieties - at least 5 m;
2. from one medium to another - about 4 m;
3. the distance between the undersized ones is at least 2.5 - 3 m.

You should not place a young pear in the place of an old one; in planning a garden, it is more appropriate to alternate cultures. Gardeners will have to show considerable patience, waiting for the moment when the pear bears fruit after planting - at best, this will happen in 3-4 years.

Stages of planting a seedling in a hole

Both spring and fall planting begins with a process called hole preparation, the depth of which depends on the quality of the soil. In places with soil requiring enrichment, the technology consists of the following stages:

• a hole is dug up to a depth of 100 cm, with a diameter of about 70 cm;
• fertile soil from the pit is stored for subsequent "improvement";
• the bottom of the pit is compacted, a strong stake with a height of 1.5 meters is driven into the center;
• the extracted soil is mixed with compost, peat, superphosphate, lime and manure;
• an earthen mound of enriched earth is poured onto the bottom around the peg;
• on top of the pile, a seedling is installed, previously dipped in a clay solution several times;
• earth is poured on top of the roots and then higher so that the root collar remains above the ground level;
• from above, the earth is tamped, watered with 3 buckets of water and mulched to a height of 10 cm.

Before placing, for example, Polish seedlings in a pit, you should decide on the cardinal points and arrange them on the north side of the peg. The final stage of planting is attaching the tree to the support. It should be such that the stem does not "dangle" during windy weather, while at the same time without bending the thin stem.

Pear seedlings care

In the first years, care for young trees needs regular and competent. Care consists of feeding, watering, loosening, seasonal pruning of branches. Spring treatment from insect pests wintering in their bark is considered an obligatory stage in caring for fruit trees. Prevention of diseases of apple and pear trees is the periodic pruning and disposal of infected branches. From the age of 15 years, fruit trees reduce their yield, they need grafting. Shoots for budding take well-formed, with ripe eyes.

Duchess - a pear with a long history

The fruit tree of the Duchess summer variety begins to bear fruit in the fifth or sixth year. The history of the variety goes back more than 250 years, from the moment it was bred by an amateur breeder from the UK named Wheeler.

Varietal features:

1. fruits weighing 150-180 grams, yellowish with black specks;
2. the taste is sweet, musky, structure of medium density, juicy and tender;
3. the shape of the pears is oblong with rounded-ribbed sides;
4. yield from an adult plant - 40-60 kg.

The term of fruit production is from the second decade of August in regions of a temperate climate. Maturation is amicable.

The disadvantage of the variety is the short shelf life of the fruits, they are not stored longer than 15 days from the date of collection, in refrigerators the period increases to a month. Zoned for the southern regions of Russia. In other areas, it shows low frost resistance, a tendency to damage by aphids. Not prone to scab.

Pear August dew - natural dwarf

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the August dew pear, a natural dwarf with a height of about three meters of Russian origin, has become widespread in the Middle Belt. This early ripening variety of fruit trees begins to actively bear fruit four years after the seedling is planted. In the phase of an adult plant, the yield exceeds 50 kg. Mass ripening from the second decade of September. Fruits are greenish-yellow, short pear-shaped, with convex sides. The mass of one pear is not less than 100 grams. The taste is sweetish-bland, the content of sugary substances is 8-9%. Storage at a temperature of 1 to 5 degrees Celsius increases keeping quality up to 90 days, in a warm room - no more than 20-30 days. The plant is scab resistant, tolerates drought and low winter temperatures.

Bryansk beauty is a pear for Russia

The mid-late variety Bryanskaya Krasavitsa is a product of domestic selection, popular in the Urals and Central Russia. It has excellent immunity to most diseases, scab and aphids. A fruit tree of average height for the species blooms a little later than its counterparts, thus protecting its inflorescences from spring frosts.

Prefers highly fertile soils, an abundance of sunny colors. The plant does not tolerate dry time, forming small, dryish, unsweetened fruits in such years. In favorable years, with abundant regular watering, it pleases with juicy, sweet fruits weighing about 250 grams. The dense skin is burgundy-red, without shine. The shape is elongated. The taste of the yellowish pulp is sweet, with a piquant sourness, medium density, high juiciness. Mass return of fruits - from the second decade of September.
