The best varieties of winter pears

Among the huge variety of pears, winter varieties stand out for their long shelf life, frost resistance and suitability for conservation. We have selected winter varieties recognized by experts as the best in terms of yield.

The pear is more sensitive to frost than the apple tree, so breeders for a long time could not get truly winter-hardy varieties. But now this problem has been resolved. Even residents of the northern regions can find excellent pear varieties for themselves, which will be stored for several weeks, and sometimes months!

Why late varieties of pears are good

Among inexperienced gardeners, there is an opinion that winter pears are tasteless and hard. However, many people forget that the dates of removable and consumer maturity in winter pear varieties do not coincide. The removed fruits must lie down for some time before acquiring their characteristic taste characteristics.

The fruits of winter pears are distinguished by tender and sweet pulp, they contain a large amount of vitamins and useful biologically active substances.

The indisputable advantages of winter pear varieties are:

• long shelf life (5-6 months);
• resistance of the tree to severe frosts;
• rich taste and aroma that pears acquire in the ripening process;
• attractive fruit appearance;
• they can be preserved.

According to the shelf life, pears are divided into three groups:

• early winter (Kure, Nart, Noyabrskaya, Elena, Zolotovorotskaya, etc.) - stored in the refrigerator until mid-January - early February;
• winter (Saratovka, Kondratyevka, Pass-Crassan, Olivier de Serre, Kirghiz winter, etc.) - stored in the refrigerator until the end of March;
• late winter (Tikhonovka, Emerald, Zest of Crimea, Maria, Winter Dekanka, etc.) - stored until early May.

We have selected varieties suitable for most climatic zones, thanks to their winter hardiness and excellent taste.
