At the same time, the pear is very popular with gardeners. To get tasty fruits of good quality without much effort, you need to purchase seedlings of zoned varieties. We present to you a description of the best varieties of pears - according to reviews of experienced gardeners.

Most of the seedlings in Russia are grown on a forest pear seedling (seed stock).The palatability of fruits is determined by soil and climatic conditions, the level of agricultural technology and weather conditions in the year of fruiting. Therefore, gardeners' reviews of different varieties of pears in different regions may differ. According to the ripening period, gardeners distinguish early and late varieties of pears. The division into summer, autumn and winter is often conditional, since the ripening dates are shifted in different climatic zones.

The pulp of the fruit is tender, melting, the taste is at the level of southern pears. When removed in green, it can be stored well in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

The pear, with rare exceptions of varieties, is self-fertile and requires a pollinator. All varieties bloom in the same period, so there is no need to select principal pollinators - it is enough to plant 2 - 3 seedlings of different varieties or plant several other varieties in one crown. Have a nice harvest!

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.

Pear is a very juicy and aromatic fruit that has delighted the inhabitants of the planet for many thousands of years. But on the territory of the Moscow region, culture is not so widespread. The whimsicality and thermophilicity of the tree are to blame for everything. One good thing is that scientists have developed a wide variety of sweet and large varieties of this amazing fruit, which grow without problems in the regions of the middle lane. In the article we will tell you about the best pear varieties for the Moscow region, we will give their detailed description.

Features of cultivation in the Moscow region

  • This region is located in the middle zone, therefore, it is characterized by a hot summer and cold winter, and between them there are rather humid springs and autumn. Due to the abundant rainfall, additional watering is practically not required;
  • this fruit tree is quite thermophilic, and also has a different degree of frost resistance in case of transplantation, depending on the species. That is why the choice of the variety of this fruit for the Moscow region is the most important aspect. After all, not all varieties of pears can boast of the necessary characteristics for excellent performance, as well as long-term growth in this area;
  • in the territory of the region, there are sharp changes in temperature. It is difficult enough to grow most of the crop species in these unfavorable weather conditions. Breeders came to the rescue, who bred a number of varieties specifically designed for this climatic zone.

Tip # 1. Planting seedlings should be carried out exclusively in the southwestern or southern part of the garden, due to the increased thermophilicity of the pear tree.

Pear care in the suburbs

the best pear varieties

It is recommended to plant trees in areas located in lowlands where rainfall accumulates, as well as ground springs are located nearby.

These fruit trees need to be cared for:

  • in winter, the root system of young pear trees should be covered for insulation;
  • regularly remove weeds on the near-stem circles of young crops;
  • it is also advisable to sow green manures, for example lupines, in the garden; after plowing them, the soil will be enriched;
  • it is better to organize the irrigation system according to the type of sprinkling, in which case the water falls onto the tree through a rotating or standing sprayer, which has a large number of tiny holes, all this in the compartment recreates a real rain;
  • immediately after irrigation, the soil should be well loosened, so the roots will be enriched with oxygen;
  • it is recommended to fertilize the soil in the second year of growth of the fruit tree. Usually, top dressing is applied in the spring or autumn period, however, it is permissible to carry out top dressing throughout the summer. Read also the article: → “When to plant a pear. Planting pears in spring and autumn are the secrets of success. "

Tip # 2. It is not recommended to place "unripe" manure in the hole during planting, as it slowly disintegrates, and this is fraught with damage to the plant root.

Groundbait to increase pear yield

The main fertilizers used in the process of growing fruit in the Moscow region:

Name Description Mode of application
Urea Powder consisting of small crystals, which has a granular form, 45-46% of the composition is nitrogen. This is one of the best nitrogen fertilizers available. It slightly acidifies the soil. It is necessary to use the drug in the spring during the cultivation of the land. It is used for liquid, dry and foliar dressing.
Superphosphate This remedy comes in two varieties. Powdered fertilizer consists of 14-19.5% of phosphorus, and granular contains 20-22%. This substance is recommended to be used since autumn, since phosphorus is an inactive element, it is not readily soluble in water. To get to the root system from the moment of application, it needs a long period of time.
Potassium nitrate. This product is a nitrogen-potassium fertilizer. It is used as root and foliar dressing (1-2% solution), used for spraying along with pesticides and stimulants.
Kemira The fertilizer does not contain chlorine, it contains the following microelements: Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn, Se Affects root formation, tuber formation, stimulating their growth. The drug is applied to the soil in spring, summer and autumn.
Eco Plant This mineral fertilizer is universal. A means of long-term action, it contains plant components and a lot of microelements: Mg 6-12%, Ca-9-17%, S 8-16%, including Fe, B, Zn, Cu, Mn, Cr, Mo, Co. The drug reduces the amount of nitrates in fruits, prevents the accumulation of radionuclides, improves the synthesis of vitamins, saturates with useful minerals, and increases the resistance of crops to unfavorable conditions.

Gardeners' mistakes during cultivation

the best pear varieties

A high yield can be harvested in any climatic zone, subject to the correct selection of fruit varieties, as well as taking into account the observance of the necessary standards of cultivation.

  • The most basic mistake lies in the initially incorrectly selected pear variety. That is, it is not intended for cultivation in the climatic zone of the Moscow region.
  • Violations of the elementary care of the crop are also possible, as a result - a poor harvest, or even the death of the plant.
  • When choosing which pear variety is best suited for planting in the country, gardeners often forget that many of them may need pear pollinator varieties.

Finally, I would like to note that the Moscow region region is located in such a climatic zone, which, in turn, is characterized by a number of features. Unfortunately, they are not suitable for every variety of pears. Therefore, before purchasing young trees of a certain type, you should carefully read whether the weather conditions in the area are optimal for its growth.

The pear is demanding on soil fertility, illumination, warmth and care. For her, choose a sunny place with fertile soil.

Long-lived pear trees bear fruit for decades.

The best pear varieties for central Russia must meet the following requirements:

  1. Winter hardiness. For many years, due to its weak winter hardiness, the pear was considered a minor crop in central Russia compared to the apple tree. Modern pear varieties are even more hardy than some apple varieties.
  2. Taste properties. By choosing sweet and tender varieties, you can grow in the middle lane the same delicious fruits as in the south.
  3. Productivity. Depends heavily on planting and grooming.
  4. Early maturity. Most varieties begin to bear fruit in 3-5 years of life, some have to wait even 8 years.
