The best variety of pears

Pear is a fruit tree, quite durable (some varieties have been growing for 200 years). In terms of popularity and its massiveness, it is second only to apple trees. It blooms with white and pink flowers.

Most of the pear varieties are self-fertile, in other words, trees cannot pollinate on their own, they need trees of other varieties and pollinating insects for this.

It is for this reason that it is always necessary to plant a tree with a different type of fruit or a different variety next to pears. The plant is very light-requiring.

Ripe fruits can be very large - 300 gr., And very small - about 25 gr., Color from green to yellow, with or without blush. Many varieties of pears bring a large harvest every two years, and only from the age of seven.

In order for the harvest to be good, it is necessary to plant different varieties and at some distance from each other. To choose the best options for seedlings, you need to know their varietal characteristics. There are autumn, summer and winter varieties of pears, depending on the time of fruiting.
