The best variety of pears

The cultivation of pears in central Russia was not so long ago treated with caution. More whimsical, in comparison with an apple tree, it did not tolerate sudden changes in temperature, frost.

Thanks to the work of breeders, today the best varieties of pears have been bred for central Russia, which grow and bear fruit well. Read on for our selection of pear varieties with descriptions and photos.

Basic requirements for pear varieties for Central Russia

The pear is demanding on soil fertility, illumination, warmth and care. For her, choose a sunny place with fertile soil. If the soil on the site is poor, specially prepared soil is used to fill the large planting pit. The pear will more than thank the gardener for such care. 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.
5. Self-pollination. Many pears are incapable of such a process. You should focus on at least a partially self-pollinated variety.
