Advantages and disadvantages

Like all trees, this variety has its pros and cons:

Advantages	Flaws
High wear resistance, high-quality harvest, perfectly complements the Chizhovskaya variety	Shelf life is only 50 days
It is fast-growing: the harvest will appear in your garden for 2-3 years and with due attention you can get up to 50 kg of fruit	Very demanding to transport
It is possible to harvest such a pear even in early August. The fruits themselves do not fall from the tree and hang for a long time	Has a high sugar content, which attracts bees

Judging from the merits, the pear fret is ideal for a vegetable garden and a huge garden. If properly handled, Lada will yield a large and tasty harvest.

Planting rules

Lada is not very whimsical in the choice of soil, but for each plant, good and fertile land is the key to an excellent harvest. For this type of pear, chernozem soil, loamy, and preferably with passing groundwater, is well suited. If your soil is made of clay, fertilize the soil with peat or compost.

Although the Lada variety is winter-hardy, it must be removed from the cold wind, therefore, it is necessary to plant a tree in the south or southeast of the site. But the place must be well ventilated. If there is a lot of sun on your site, place the tree in the shade, otherwise the entire top will burn out.

It is necessary to plant Lada in the spring. If you are going to plant in the fall - then before the onset of cold weather in about a month. Otherwise, nothing will remain of the roots.

Sapling selection

If you do not understand seedlings, then purchase them in a special garden store. Because the growth and fruitfulness of the tree will depend on the choice of the seedling.

It is best to choose a two-year-old seedling. Make sure that the integrity of the plant is not compromised. Choose a seedling with a good root system: the roots should not have any extra growths or damage, swelling. Be sure to look for small increments. Thanks to them, the root system will better take root in the soil.

Planting process

It is necessary to start preparing for planting a pear fret in the middle of autumn. You need to dig a hole so that the roots of the tree can easily be placed in it, about 1 meter in depth and in breadth. Prepare the mixture:

• Mix 10 kg of compost with the soil from the pit, add 700 g of dolomite flour, ash 600 g and ammophoska 200 g. Mix everything thoroughly.
• Pour the mixture into the hole you dug until spring
• In the spring, it is necessary to make a hill in a hole from the ground and, stepping back 25 cm to the south, drive a peg
• The plant must be placed in water for several hours, the leaves must be cut off. Then, spreading the roots, slowly cover the plant with earth
• When planting, sometimes raise a tree a little so that the earth shrinks
• Make a roller of earth around the planted plant and pour water (about three buckets)

Pollinators required for the variety

The description of this pear variety suggests that the pear is a self-fertile tree. But, nevertheless, to improve the fruitfulness and taste of the fruit, it is worth planting nearby trees that bear fruit in the same period of time. These trees are: Chizhovskaya, Severyanka and Rogneda.

How to prune a tree

This procedure must be done every year if you want to get a consistently good harvest. Prune in early spring or fall. This procedure is carried out as follows:

• You need to take a large garden pruner, sharp, so as not to cut the tree for a long time
• Find broken, dry, and thickening branches on the tree
• Cut them with a quick motion, trying not to damage the tree.

Watering the tree and loosening

The pear lada is resistant to precipitation; there is no need to water the tree too much. For 1 square meter, you need to fill in 3 buckets. Special watering should be arranged during periods of drought and intensely roasting sun, during the period of fertility, in autumn for better root growth.

Loosening should be done immediately after watering. This is done in order to get rid of cracks, weeds and fill the roots with oxygen.

Pear feed

There are three stages of feeding that must be performed:

1. Spring feeding - Pour urea 90 gr into 6 liters of water and pour it into a circle near the tree (after watering)
2. Top dressing in summer - slurry one liter is mixed with water 6 liters
3. Top dressing in autumn - it is necessary to enter after the tree is left without leaves. Potassium chloride 15 g is mixed with granular superphosphate 35 g. Use 10 liters of water per square meter

If you follow all the recommendations, you will get a magnificent garden with fragrant and juicy pears. You can cook anything from them: pies, preserves, jams, compotes, just eat fresh fruit.

Pear Lada - variety description, photo, planting and care, video

Pear of the Lada variety is especially popular with gardeners. Before proceeding with the description and photo of the pear Lada, it is worth noting that she deserved her love for herself. Indeed, with early ripening of the fruits, the variety tolerates frosts quite well and gives a large yield.

Lada has been used for growing mainly in central Russia since 1994, and it was obtained as a result of the selection of two varieties: Forest Beauty and Olga. As already mentioned, the variety belongs to the early ripening summer species of fruit trees.

Description of the variety

Pear Lada is a representative of the standard type. The tree has an average height and a crown in the form of a funnel or pyramid. The bark of the main trunk and adult branches is gray. Young shoots with a smooth surface are colored in light brown tones, grow decently in length and are slightly curved. The number of shoots inside the crown is moderate, due to which it is moderately thickened.

The presented variety is medium-leafy, and the leaves themselves are dark green with a glossy sheen, resemble an oval in shape, slightly elongated.

The structure of the leaf is dense, there are small denticles at the edges, and the leaf is slightly curved towards the central vein. The length of the petiole is not more than 2.5 cm, while the stipules fall off early.

During flowering, the tree is covered with white, racemose inflorescences of 7 cupped flowers each.

The pear bears fruit abundantly, but the size of the fruits is small, the maximum weight of one fruit is 110 g. But pears have a shiny smooth skin, while it is thin and yellow in color with a barely noticeable blush of a pale red hue. The fruits are attached with a short stalk (about 2 cm) and do not have a funnel. The seed box contains 5 brown seeds.

The pear can be harvested when the skin of the fruit turns yellow around the cutting. In time, this is approximately at the beginning of August.

Taste qualities of pear are not bad, which is the merit of the increased amount of sugars. At the same time, the fruit has a slight sourness, the pulp of a light yellow color has a pronounced granularity and medium juiciness. The aroma of the whole fruit is practically not felt, only when it is cut a subtle sweetish smell appears.

The described pear variety Lada is shown in the photo below:

Characteristic features of the variety

Young seedlings of pear Lada begin to bear fruit already in the third year of life, and will fully show their "abilities" from the 7th year of cultivation. Subject to the rules of care, an adult tree can yield up to 50 kg of fruit. Pears are ideal for eating and preserving.

The advantages of the variety include:

• high productivity;
• fast precocity;
• the ability of the fruit to stay on the branch for a long time;
• good resistance to diseases, in particular to scab and fire blight;
• high winter hardiness, so that the tree can winter without shelter.

The description of the pear variety Lada would be incomplete without mentioning its shortcomings. The Ladovsky variety has only two of them:

1. Short shelf life of fruits after harvest (no more than 2 months).
2. Low transportable characteristics of pears.

WITHOrt is self-fertile, that is, even a lonely growing tree is capable of bearing fruit. However, to increase the amount of harvest, it is recommended to grow it together with pears of the Severyanka, Chizhovskaya, Kosmicheskaya or Rogneda varieties.

The main nuances of growing varieties

Despite the fact that the seedlings almost always take root well, it is worth paying attention to such points as planting a Lada pear and further caring for it.

In general, the variety is not too whimsical to the soil, however, to maintain productivity, poor soil should be fertilized. The most suitable soil for planting Lada is fertile loose soil (black soil, loam).

If the garden is set up in an area with soil poor in nutrients, the soil must first be enriched by introducing mineral fertilizers and organic matter.

In this case, the amount of fertilizers applied should exceed the usual top dressing on nutrient soils.

Pear Lada reacts very sharply to the lack of trace elements (especially organic matter). If the situation is not corrected, the tree may soon get sick or even die without surviving the winter.

As for caring for the Lada pear variety, special attention should be paid to the irrigation regime. This is due to the fact that the variety has low drought tolerant abilities.

In the summertime, the tree needs regular watering according to the principle "rarely, but abundantly." The most demanding pear is in relation to watering during the period of shoot growth and fruit ripening - from May to July.

Under young trees, at least 30 liters of water should be applied at a time, and up to 50 liters under an adult pear.

In parallel with watering, you can feed the pear, while the first fertilization must be carried out even before the beginning of flowering (nitroammophoska or organic). In the future, it is necessary to do at least two more top dressing - when the tree is fully blooming (urea or saltpeter) and after the formation of fruits (urea).

In addition, wood ash (per 1 sq. M. 150 g) must be added under the young trees in the fall. Also, prepare pears (both young and adults) for wintering by embedding a mineral mixture of the following composition in the trunk circle (per 1 sq. M.):

• 1 tbsp. l. potassium chloride;
• 2 tbsp. l. superphosphate;
• 10 liters of water.

In general, the variety tolerates direct sunlight well, but in the case of too hot and dry summers, it is advisable to shelter young seedlings from the sun. Otherwise, the foliage may turn black and dry.

According to the description above (with a photo) of the Lada pear variety, it is perfect for growing in order to get an early harvest.

Despite the fact that the fruits are not stored for a long time after being removed, they can stay on the tree for a long time, since they do not crumble. Thanks to this, the crop can be removed in parts and gradually processed.

Several seedlings of this variety will replenish the garden and provide more than one family with useful fruits.

Pear Lada: description and characteristics of the variety, advantages and disadvantages, planting and care features + photos and reviews

The pear is the queen of the garden. Among the new varieties there is a slender beauty, which in a short time gained fame among gardeners. This is a pear of the Lada variety. To make a tree feel comfortable in your garden, you need to know the little secrets of choosing a seedling, planting and caring for it.

Description and characteristics of the summer pear Lada

The early summer variety Lada was bred in the famous Timiryazevka by crossing two varieties: Forest Beauty and Olga. It has a short history - the variety was included in the state register of Russia in 1993.

Pear Lada - early-growing early summer variety

Standard tree.The bark of the trunk is colored gray or dark gray, has a small number of weakly expressed lentils. Skeletal branches are much lighter in color than the trunk.

Shoots grow long, slightly curved, with a predominantly brown tint. The height of the tree reaches 2.5 m, which is an average figure. The crown of a young tree differs in shape from an adult - it resembles a funnel.

And only with age it becomes like a pyramid. The crown density is average.

Lada pear tree is medium in size

Leaves are oval, slightly elongated, with a pointed tip. They have a bend along the central vein. The surface of the leaf is smooth and shiny. The color is deep green. The inflorescence has 5 to 7 cupped flowers of medium size.

Blooming Lada can decorate any garden

The fruits are light yellow, with a faint red blush on a smooth surface. Their size is average, their weight ranges from 90 to 110 g. The skin is thin, with barely noticeable subcutaneous punctures. The fruit is obovate and looks very attractive.

The taste of the Lada pear is rated at 4.5 points on a five-point system.

The flesh of the fruit is whitish-yellow, of medium density and fine-grained. Average juiciness. The aroma is not pronounced. The taste is sweet, with a slight sourness.

Pear Lada has small fruits, their weight does not exceed 110 g

The variety is ideal for growing in the Central Black Earth, Central and Middle Volga regions, as well as in the Moscow region.

If we compare the Lada with the Chizhevskaya variety, then they will have a lot in common, although there are some minor differences.

The fruits of the Lada pear are so sugary that they are often invaded by bees and wasps.

Landing features

Soil and place

Pear Lada cannot be called whimsical with regard to the choice of soil. Still, fertile and well-drained land will significantly improve the quality of the crop.

A good choice for planting Lada will be loamy, chestnut, chernozem and gray forest soils with deep groundwater. On clay soils, pear roots will lack oxygen.

But the situation can be corrected by diluting the soil with compost, peat and coarse sand.

The site for planting Lada should be located in the southern or southeastern side of the garden. The pear is a thermophilic plant, so it needs to be hidden from the cold winter winds. But at the same time, the area must be well ventilated.

The optimal lighting time for a tree during the growing season should be at least 10 hours. Although Lada can develop well in light shade conditions.

If a young pear grows in the sun, then the tops of the shoots and foliage may begin to dry out, so it is best to shade the Lada in the midday heat.

Despite the unpretentiousness of Lada, fertile soils are best suited for planting it.

Landing dates

Experienced gardeners recommend choosing the spring period for planting Lada pears if you live in the central part of Russia. In autumn, you need to have time to plant a seedling a month before the onset of frost, since the root system of a young tree can suffer from cold weather.

Sapling selection

Choosing a seedling is a very important task. High-quality planting material will provide you with a healthy tree and stable yields in the future. If you are buying a seedling with an open root system, choose plants between 1 and 3 years old. Trees with a closed root system can be taken older.

When choosing a pear, carefully inspect the trunk for mechanical or other damage. If the bark is smooth and firm, everything is fine. The root system deserves special attention. On the roots, swelling, growths or thickening are unacceptable.

The main roots should be covered with a dense net of fine auxiliary roots, which provide the plant with better survival rate.

It is preferable to choose a pear seedling with a closed root system

Pit preparation

For spring planting, the pit begins to be prepared in the fall - in October. Its dimensions are at least 70 cm deep and 1 m wide. The main thing is that the roots are located in it freely.

The top layer of earth should be set aside to be mixed with 10 kg of compost or rotted manure, 700 g of dolomite flour, 600 g of ash and 200 g of ammophos. The resulting mixture is poured into the pit. Before spring planting, the soil mixture will be compacted under the influence of precipitation and will not settle after planting.

If, when digging a hole, groundwater begins to appear, you need to take care of its drainage. Otherwise, the pear will not develop well.

The spring planting pit is prepared in the fall

Step by step process

1. In the planting pit, using a shovel, collect the prepared soil into a kind of mound. Having retreated from the center of the pit 30 cm from the south, drive in a peg to support the seedling.
2. Prepare the plant for planting: soak the roots for several hours in water, cut off the foliage before planting to avoid excess moisture loss.

   Spread the roots along the sides of the mound so that there are no creases, and start filling the ground.

3. Sometimes raise the pear slightly so that the soil is evenly distributed in the root system, filling all the voids. After planting, lightly compact the soil.

   The root collar should remain 5–7 cm above the soil level.

4. Build a roller out of the ground around the tree. It will serve as a watering circle. Pour 2-3 buckets of water into the hole and, after being absorbed, mulch with peat or dried grass.

After planting, the pear is watered into the trunk circle

Lada is a self-fertile variety. But to improve the quality of fruits, including taste, other pears are needed, blooming at the same time with it. These include Rogneda, Chizhovskaya, Severyanka, Otradnenskaya.

In the literature on gardening, you can find information about grafting a pollinator into the crown of a Lada pear. Thus, you can save space for planting another plant.

The pear of the Otradnenskaya variety does not differ in the height of the tree.

Tree care

Pruning

The crown of a pear is formed in the first four years of the tree's life.

The first 4 years, pruning is carried out in order to form the crown. Subsequently, this procedure is mandatory to maintain the health of the tree and obtain annual stable yields.

Pruning is carried out in early spring, before the start of sap flow, or in the fall. Dried, broken, as well as branches thickening the crown are removed without fail. To less injure the tree, you need to prune with a sharp garden pruner, with quick movements.

The cut points must be covered with garden pitch.

Crown formation in young pears - video

Pear Lada is resistant to possible lack of precipitation. An adult tree needs to be watered infrequently, but abundantly - 3 buckets per 1 m² of crown projection area.

If the weather is dry, the frequency of watering is increased. This is especially true for the period of intensive growth in June and during the ripening of the crop - in August.

In addition, autumn watering is of great importance, saturating the roots of Lada with moisture before the upcoming winter.

A young tree requires regular watering, which is carried out in the near-trunk circle. The recommended amount of water for one tree is 2-3 buckets per year of the seedling's life.

The best irrigation method that does not pose a threat of root erosion is by sprinkling.

Sprinkling is the best method for safely watering a pear

Loosening

This is a very important event for the care of the Lada pear, which is inextricably linked with watering. Loosening prevents the formation of an earth crust and cracks, which disrupt gas exchange and lead to moisture evaporation. Loosening after each rain or watering, you not only restore oxygen supply to the roots, but also improve the thermal regime of the soil.

In addition, loosening helps to fight weeds that compete with the seedlings for moisture and nutrients and are a good breeding ground for diseases and pests.

Fertilizers

In the first two years of life, the seedling does not need feeding, if the necessary fertilizers were applied during planting. But in subsequent years, especially if Lada grows on scarce lands, feeding is simply necessary. Fertilize the pear 3 times per season:

1. Spring feeding. Fertilization is started during the bud swelling period to help the tree begin a full growing season and improve the quality of the expected yield. 90 g of carbamide, containing up to 46% nitrogen, is diluted in 5–7 liters of water and applied after irrigation to the trunk circle. Urea can successfully replace a solution of chicken manure - 1 liter of infusion per bucket of water. One tree requires 25 liters of fertilizer. In May, after flowering, nitroammophoska is used. It is bred in a ratio of 1: 200, pouring no more than 3 buckets of solution under one tree.
2. Summer feeding... It increases the productivity of the pear and is carried out in the second half of the summer. During this period, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied by the foliar method, if, after visual inspection, symptoms of micronutrient deficiency are revealed: cessation of growth and curling of leaves, the appearance of brown spots on them. For root feeding, slurry or mullein is used, diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 6. This top dressing is carried out 2 weeks after foliar.
3. Autumn feeding. Helps to prepare the plant as much as possible for the upcoming wintering. Top dressing is applied after almost all the foliage has fallen, evenly distributing fertilizers along the entire perimeter of the crown. 15 g of potassium chloride and 35 g of granular superphosphate are dissolved in a bucket of water. 10 liters of solution are consumed per 1 m². Also bring under digging up to 140 g of ash per 1 m².

Fertilizers for pears begin to be applied in early spring

Shelter for the winter

One of the advantages of Lada is its high resistance to cold.... An adult tree easily survives frosts at -30 ° C. The best cover for a pear is high snow cover.

Shelter is a must for young seedlings. First of all, you should protect the fragile root system. This is done using a layer of mulch, laying it in the trunk circle with a layer of at least 8 cm.

Before the onset of frost, you need to take care of the trunk. It is tied with a material that allows air to pass through well. For this purpose, a non-woven covering material or thick wrapping paper is suitable.

An excellent effect is provided by strapping with spruce branches, which protects the tree from rodents.

Lapnik not only saves the tree from frost, but also protects it from rodents

Whitewash

It would seem that such an insignificant procedure, but brings so many benefits. Spring whitewashing protects the trunk from bright sunlight that can burn the bark. Autumn - serves as protection against pests, pathogenic microbes and ice. You can prepare a suitable composition yourself by mixing slaked lime with clay and water, or you can buy it at a store.

Diseases and pests

Pear Lada has shown high resistance to diseases common among fruit trees, primarily to scab and fire blight. But if the rules for caring for the plant are not followed, other diseases are possible. In addition, Lada is often exposed to pest infestations.

Harvesting and storage

Pear Lada is a fast-growing variety... The first crop is harvested for 2–4 years. The fruits of this early maturing variety ripen by the 2nd decade of August. They can hang on a branch for some time without crumbling.

The productivity of Lada is very high, sometimes you even have to resort to rationing the harvest. One tree can bear 50 kg of excellent, juicy fruits.

Harvesting is best done in dry weather. The fruits are plucked with a stalk, sorted immediately and placed in wooden or plastic boxes in one layer. The crop is stored at a temperature of 0 ° C for no more than 60 days.

The Lada variety is universal. You can cook compote, jam, jam from it, make dried fruits. But the pear will be healthier and tastier when fresh.

Pear Lada is a versatile variety, you can make many tasty preparations for the winter from it

Gardeners reviews

Lada is a pear that will allow you to enjoy the wonderful fruits of an early harvest. And this is not the only plus of this variety.

3. Fruits are small, round, egg-shaped with a thin skin.
4. The average weight of one pear is 100 - 120 grams.
5. After ripening, the fruits acquire a yellowish color with a subcutaneous pink blush.
6. The variety is partially self-pollinated; it bears fruit better if there are plants on the site with the same flowering period.
7. The beginning of fruiting is the fourth year after planting.
8. Fruit shedding is insignificant.
9. From one tree, you can collect from 35 to 60 kilograms of pears.
10. Fruiting is stable from year to year.

The storage period of the harvested crop does not exceed two months if proper conditions are arranged. This slightly limits the scope of use, because the presentation of pears is very worthy.

At the same time, this fruit is irreplaceable in conservation. The sweet pulp practically does not contain seeds (there are about 3 - 4 of them in one pear), the peel is soft and easy to process.

Rustiness is insignificant, most often it appears around the stalk.

The video shows a description of the pear variety:

The purpose of the fruit is universal, most often used fresh, but suitable for conservation and drying. The pulp of this pear is sweet with mild sour notes. Due to its high taste and ease of care, the variety is in stable demand among gardeners.

For planting, one-year and two-year seedlings grown in the nursery are used. If you are tempted to buy a more mature tree, it is better to know in advance that after three or more years of growing in one place, the pear of this variety simply will not take root during transplantation.

Such a tree will ache and wither, and even in the case of successful fruiting, its volume will be much less.

But how it is necessary to plant a Michurinskaya late pear, and what description of this variety exists, is indicated in the article at the link.

How to plant a seedling correctly:

• The optimal time for this is the beginning of spring.... In the fall, the seedling must be planted about a month before the cold snap, so that the plant has time to take root in a new place.
• The place for planting is chosen as illuminated as possible, slight shading is allowed, but the pear does not like a strong shadow.
• The distance to the next tree is at least three meters, fruit bushes are placed at a distance of one meter.
• With a high level of groundwater, it is necessary to consider a drainage layer or a drainage system.
• The site should be protected from a draft, and it is better to choose a place for a seedling on a small elevation in order to prevent decay of the root system.
• Pear prefers loam, grows slowly on clay and sandy soils... You can specially prepare the soil before planting by adding the required amount of fertilizer and peat to the hole.
• For one tree, it is necessary to add at least two buckets of humus to the bottom of the hole, 0.5 kg each of superphosphate and potassium complexes... If the soil is acidic, it is recommended to add about a glass of lime or crushed chalk.
• After that, the bottom is covered with a layer of earth of at least five centimeters so that the minerals do not burn the roots.... The seedling is installed in a hole, the root shoots are spread in different directions, the planting site is covered with earth.
• It is recommended to install a wooden support next to the trunk in order to avoid deformation of the plant in the future.
• The bark neck of a pear should be two to three centimeters above ground level. The soil at the roots is compacted and a hole is made for irrigation.

After planting, it is necessary to water the seedling well with water and leave it in a new place until final adaptation. Usually, if everything is done correctly, the pear will take root well and does not require additional conditions. The main points of further care are discussed below.

How to care after planting, possible pollinators

As mentioned earlier, the Lada pear does not differ in its whimsical character. Its cultivation is possible not only in the Middle Lane, but also far beyond the Urals.

The ripening time will shift slightly, and it is also advisable to provide for a winter shelter, but in general, further care is not difficult. In winter, it is necessary to regularly clean off the snow from the branches so that they do not break under such a weight.

In addition, for the northern region, it is necessary to consider the possibility of self-pollination of flowers, because flowering occurs very early.

But what is the most popular remedy for aphids on a pear, and as it is called, the information on the link will help to understand.

It is also worth learning more about why pear leaf tips turn black and what can be done about this problem.

But how the pear is processed in the spring, and what means should be used, is indicated here:

What pear diseases exist and what can be for their treatment, as well as see a photo of diseased trees, the information on the link will help to understand.

Basic rules for caring for a seedling after planting:

1. The pear needs abundant watering, but does not like wetlands. The best way to retain moisture is to use mulch. The layer can be made from straw, peat and humus, as well as specially detailed tree bark.
2. Regular loosening can be carried out in conjunction with weeding. It is necessary to loosen the soil at the roots shallowly so as not to damage the processes.
3. Fertilizers must be applied no earlier than three years after planting. Until that time, the necessary supply of nutrients is provided by mineral complexes introduced during planting.
4. Pruning of branches is carried out approximately twice a season, in spring and autumn.... Dry branches are cut off completely, young shoots - by a third of the length. This contributes to the formation of a lush and not dense crown, allowing you to get a good harvest.
5. Harvesting is carried out at the technical ripeness of the fruit... It is recommended to remove pears from trees, because if they fall, there is a high risk of damage to the peel. Plucked pears are recyclable, the shelf life is short and only if placed horizontally on a dry surface.

But what a frost-resistant pear variety looks like for Siberia, as it is called, this information will help you figure it out.

The video shows how to care for a pear tree:

"Lada" refers to partially self-pollinated varieties, but if there are similar species on the site, it bears fruit much better. The selection of the required pollinators is carried out according to the following criteria.The first and most important factor is the timing of flowering. They must match completely, otherwise pollination will not occur.

The second important factor is the size of the crown. Trees should be located as close to each other as possible, but not darken with crowns. The third main criterion for choosing a pollinator is disease resistance. Otherwise, pests or disease can spread from one tree to another.

It is better to feed and spray trees at the same time to avoid this situation.

The following species are considered the best pollinators for the Lada variety:

• Rogneda - a frost-resistant variety with an early flowering and fruiting period.
• Space - a summer variety, one of the best in terms of yield.
• Severyanka - a winter-hardy variety characterized by an early ripening period.
• Chizhevskaya - a late variety, the flowering time of which coincides with the proposed species.
• Otradnenskaya - good indicators of frost resistance.

Pear variety "Lada" is distinguished by high productivity and early harvest. Fruits are universal, suitable for processing and fresh consumption. The basic rules for planting a seedling of this variety, as well as the nuances of further care, are discussed in the information of our article.

Reviews

• Karina: “These pears are delicious and sweet, some of my favorites. Earlier on the site we grew "Lesnaya krasavitsa", also a pretty good variety, but I like "Lada" better. We use it for jam, my husband even made liqueur (it also turned out deliciously). Fruiting is excellent, we remove 8 - 10 buckets from two trees per season. "
• Maxim: “I have had a garden for a long time, I want to try many varieties, but the area of ​​the site is limited. I try to allocate half for novelties, and the rest for "classic" varieties. I think Lada is just that - unpretentious and high-yielding. I think the only drawback is poor transportability, but this is what most summer varieties “sin” about. "

Delicious pear Lada for the northern garden

Do you want a disease-resistant pear with tasty fruits, like the southern varieties, and winter hardiness, like the Antonovka apple tree? There is such a pear! The variety is called Lada, bred in the Moscow region and has long received well-deserved recognition from gardeners in the central and northern regions of Russia.

Pear Lada - a highly winter-resistant variety

Pear Lada - a treasure of the Moscow Region garden

The highly winter-resistant pear variety Lada was created at the Timiryazev Academy (MCAA) in the 70s of the last century. In old garden magazines of the 80s, there are already references to this variety, which successfully survived the extreme winter of 1978-1979.

It was one of the first northern pear varieties with truly delicious fruits. According to the results of variety trials, Lada in the early 90s was zoned along the Middle Volga, Central and Central Black Earth regions.

Amateurs successfully grow it in more severe conditions.

The ripe fruits of the Lada variety pear are not large in size, but they are very tasty

It is an early summer variety that ripens in the first half of August - earlier than most other pears. Lada's fruits are medium-sized (100-110 g), at full maturity, light yellow with a slight blush, beautiful and very tasty, comparable to southern pears.

The tree is of medium vigor. On a vigorous rootstock, an adult pear in good conditions can grow up to 3-4 meters, but it is better to limit the height within 2 meters by cutting and bending the branches.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety - table

Landing features

For a pear garden, choose a well-lit place with protection from cold northern winds. Damp lowlands with a high groundwater table are unsuitable.Northern pear varieties, including Lada, thrive on slightly acidic soils, without needing liming. Alkaline calcareous soils are not suitable for this pear.

When buying a seedling, you should carefully examine it. The roots should be healthy, not dry, without suspicious growths and damage. Healthy bark - smooth, not wrinkled, without cracks or spots. The seller should be able to clearly answer the question of which rootstock the seedling is on. If you have the slightest doubt, you should refuse to purchase.

If it is not possible to immediately purchase varietal pear seedlings grown in your region, you can plant a wild wild or a local variety, and then re-graft. Seedlings of wild pears and local winter-hardy varieties can be used as a rootstock in the northern zone.

Amateur gardeners have a successful experience of grafting pears on mountain ash, hawthorn, chokeberry, irga. These rootstocks are highly winter-resistant, but in most cases such vaccinations are short-lived (except for those on mountain ash). On pear seedlings and on mountain ash, the trees will be tall, on irga and chokeberry, they will be dwarf.

Common quince, which is a standard dwarf rootstock for pears in the south, freezes out in the Non-Black Earth Region!

The best time to plant a pear:

• in the northern and central zone - early spring (in April - before bud break);
• in the southern regions - in the fall during the leaf fall (October).

Planting holes are dug in advance (for spring planting - from autumn, for autumn planting - a month before planting). The width of the holes is 1–1.5 m, the depth is 0.5–1 m. Between the trees, a distance of 4 to 8 meters is left.

Step by step process

When planting a pear seedling, the earth is carefully compacted

1. A stake is installed in the planting pit for a sapling garter.
2. A mixture of excavated soil with rotted organic matter (compost, humus) is poured into the pit to make a mound.
3. The seedling is placed so that the root collar is located above ground level.
4. Fill the hole with soil.
5. Carefully water the planting (2-3 buckets of water per 1 seedling).
6. The trunk circle is mulched with peat.

Pear Lada is considered a partially self-fertile variety, which is very rare for a pear. A certain amount of fruit is formed in the absence of a pollinator. But with cross-pollination, the yield will be several times higher. In the absence of recommended pollinating varieties, any pear will do, even a wild one, growing nearby and blooming at the same time as Lada.

Recommended pollinator varieties and their characteristics - table

Tree care

Pruning

The formation of a sparse-tiered crown is the best option for a pear Lada

Pruning pears is necessary to increase yields and to form small trees with a well-lit and ventilated crown that are easy to maintain.Formative pruning is carried out in early spring (March-April) - before bud break. Sanitary pruning (removal of dry and diseased branches) is possible throughout the season.

In the central regions of Russia, a sparse-tiered crown shape is usually used:

1. After planting, the top of the seedling is cut off.
2. In the spring of the second year, the weak lateral shoots are removed and the tops of the strong shoots left to form skeletal branches are shortened.

   These shoots should be located at an equal distance from each other and on different sides of the tree.

3. In the future, they continue to shorten strong shoots and remove weak ones.
4. When the desired tree height is reached, the center conductor (vertical top shoot) is cut.

To accelerate the fruiting of pears, summer pinching of shoots, bending of branches to a horizontal position, breaking of young branches are also used.

Watering

Pear trees are watered in a near-trunk circle - sprinkling irrigation is economically unprofitable. After watering, the trunks are loosened and mulched with organic matter.

Lada does not belong to drought-resistant varieties - watering is especially important during the period of fruit development. The pear is not watered very often, but abundantly, deeply soaking the soil.

A young tree needs 2–5 buckets of water, for an adult garden - up to 3–5 buckets per square meter. The number of waterings per season depends on the weather and the region - from 2-3 times in the north to 10-12 times in the south.

In dry autumn, water-charging irrigation is carried out in October, after leaf fall, for better wintering of trees.

Top dressing

When feeding a pear, organic matter should be preferred

In amateur gardening, it is highly desirable to give preference to organic fertilizers as more environmentally friendly, using mineral water only in cases of emergency.

The pear requires a lot of organic fertilizers.They are brought in early in the spring when digging the soil - from 2 to 6 buckets of humus for each tree, depending on its age and size.

In autumn, when digging, you can add potassium-phosphorus fertilizing (40-60 g of superphosphate and 20-30 g of potassium sulfate per 1 m2).

An excess of nitrogen is harmful to the pear, but in extreme cases, in the absence of organic matter, during spring digging, 20–40 g of ammonium nitrate per 1 m2 are added.

Preparation for wintering

For the Moscow region and the Middle Volga region, pear Lada is a highly winter-resistant variety and does not need winter shelter. However, young tree trunks require protection from winter damage by hares and mice.

In the harsh conditions of the Urals and Siberia with frosty, snowy winters, a pear can be grown in stanza form, using irga or chokeberry as a rootstock. In late autumn, the grafted branches are bent to the ground, and they successfully winter under the snow.

Diseases and pests

In the northern horticultural zone, where the pear is a relatively new crop and does not have its old industrial plantings, it is less susceptible to pests and diseases. In the chernozem zone and to the south, regular protective and preventive measures are required.

 A characteristic feature of the Lada pear is its increased resistance to scab, which makes it possible to do without chemical treatments.

In the conditions of an amateur garden, the most often annoyed are the pear of a honeydew, aphids, a flower beetle and a moth, and from diseases - fruit rot and soot fungus.

The pear beetle eats the buds, reducing the yield of the tree

Pear fruit rot is especially dangerous in a rainy summer.

A sooty fungus develops when a tree is damaged by pests

Harvesting and storage

Pear Lada is distinguished by high early maturity. The first fruits appear 3-4 years after vaccination. In the future, the yield increases rapidly - up to 50 kg of fruits are harvested from a relatively small tree. Fruiting is annual, without periodicity.

The ripening period is early summer, in the Middle Volga region it falls on mid-August (a little earlier than Chizhovskaya).Lada fruits do not withstand transportation well and cannot be stored for a long time (maximum from 1 week to 2 months).

Suitable for fresh consumption and for processing (juices, compotes, jams, preserves).

Lada is perfect for making seasonal preservation

Gardeners reviews

I have a Lada. The very first of all the varieties I have is ripening. Compared to others, it is relatively medium-sized (with the exception of Severyanka, which is even smaller), freshish. It lies for a very short time - it must be kept in the refrigerator, eaten immediately as it ripens, otherwise it becomes "potato" (however, these are all summer pears). But the very first and very winter-hardy.

Vaska

I have a Lada pear growing on my site. The variety is fast-growing, winter-hardy, productive, scab resistant and has a high tendency to self-fertility (it bears fruit without a pollinator). The pears are delicious and very sweet.

Tatuniki, Kaluga region

Many varieties of pears have long been bred for central Russia.The most popular of them are Lada and Chizhovskaya. Both varieties are really delicious (I personally tried it!). Winter hardiness of both varieties is good, about the same as the Antonovka apple tree.

The outstanding advantages of the Lada pear - excellent winter hardiness, relative self-fertility, early ripening tasty fruits, rapid onset of fruiting, annual stable yields - made this variety one of the most popular in the central and northern regions of Russia. Lada passed long-term tests in difficult climatic conditions, which allows us to confidently recommend this variety as one of the best for northern gardening.

Pear trees are almost an integral part of any garden.

But an amateur gardener always faces the question Do you want a disease-resistant pear with tasty fruits, like those of southern varieties, and winter hardiness, Late varieties of fruit trees are able to delight with their gifts in the autumn and winter months, when Remontant raspberry Caramel is an extremely productive crop, which is deservedly belongs to the most popular among Late varieties of fruit trees are able to delight with their gifts in the autumn and winter months, when most gardeners seek to grow something unusual to the envy of their neighbors.

It grows in almost every garden Melba apple tree is quite in demand among gardeners due to its many positive qualities, such as good yield.

Among all the variety of horticultural crops, there is a special category of the most versatile and unpretentious. These species are perfectly adapted to unfavorable weather conditions and bear fruit stably even with minimal maintenance.

If we are talking about a pear, you should definitely pay attention to the "fret" variety. This non-capricious and very hardy tree will take root well in a new place and give a good harvest. Our article will tell you more about the sweet pear of the "Lada" variety.

Description and characteristics, yield

This variety was obtained by crossing the classic species "Forest Beauty" and "Olga". It is this heredity that explains the high yield and pleasant taste of the fruit. In addition, the variety has a good resistance to scab and other characteristic diseases. The tree itself is standard, it is small in size and can fit even in a limited area.

Pear Lada

Lada is a classic pear variety that can take root throughout Russia. Currently pear Lada is considered popular, experienced summer residents give positive reviews relative to this variety.

Ripening of pears begins in mid-August, so the variety is considered summer. In height, the fruit tree can reach up to 2.5 m. The tree is distinguished by a pronounced trunk. Crohn's in a medium-sized culture. The first three years the crown is funnel-shaped, and as soon as the fruiting period begins, the crown becomes pyramidal.

Description of the variety and the history of the appearance of the pear variety Lada

The shoots of the tree are long and of medium thickness. The shape of the shoots is slightly curved. In cross-section, the shoots are round and brown. The leaves are dark green, small in size. The length of the petiole can reach 150-250 centimeters. The scattering of stipules occurs in the early stages.

Landing

Planting time is important in growing Lada seedlings. Landing should be in the spring. It is better to refuse planting in the fall, since in the autumn-winter period the plant will not take root well.

If we are talking about nursery seedlings, then their age should be no more than two years. If this condition is neglected, then the plants will not take root well.

Lada can grow on any soil. Experienced summer residents are advised to use chernozem lands and soil with drainage.

Before planting, the land must be dug up. The planting hole must be prepared in advance so that the soil mixture poured into it will be compacted during the winter. It is recommended to apply top dressing:

• Potash fertilizers - 0.7kg;
• Lime - 2 cups;
• superphosphate - 1.5 kg.

The planting hole should be wide so that the seedling and its roots are comfortably located in it. The depth should be approximately 60 centimeters, and the diameter of the pit should be 100 centimeters.

In order for the correct shape of the crown to form, you need to drive a peg next to the tree. It is desirable that the stake protrude 60 centimeters from the ground.

In the spring, the upper part of the soil is loosened and a mound is made so that a depression of up to 7 cm remains along the edges of the pit, and in the center the pit is practically at the same level as the site. A seedling is placed on the mound. During planting, the root collar should be visible about 2-3 cm above the ground. The root system should be carefully straightened, sprinkled with soil from the upper layers of the soil. Further, the soil near the trunk must be compacted, and then watered well.Sprinkle a little manure or humus on top. To form the correct crown shape, it is necessary to tie the seedling to a peg protruding from the ground by 60 cm. 

The best pollinators for Lada 

Pear Lada - partially self-fertile variety. To harvest a good harvest, pears of other varieties should be planted next to the tree:

• Severyanka is an early frost-resistant variety with high winter hardiness;
• Rogneda is an early autumn variety with high winter hardiness;
• Otradnenskaya - ripens in the autumn, demonstrates high winter hardiness;
• Chizhovskaya - late winter-hardy variety;
• Space is a summer variety with high yields.

All pollinating varieties have a compact crown, like the Lada variety. It is recommended to plant trees on the site with a distance of up to 4 meters. For normal pollination of 5 Lada trees, one pollinator pear is enough.

Care

Watering

The tree needs moderate watering. During a drought period, it is necessary to water the culture. It is worth remembering that excessive moisture can harm the root system, which will lead to the development of various kinds of diseases. The tree may even die from excess moisture. Watering should be abundant, 2-3 buckets per trunk will be enough. At the very beginning of summer, the pear should be watered more often, moisture is necessary for the fruits to be poured.

Top dressing

At the very beginning of spring, the tree needs nitrogen-based fertilizing. Fertilizers should be applied after the snow melts and constant dry weather is established:

• 90 g of urea must be dissolved in 5-7 liters of water. The mixture is poured under a pear into moist soil;
• Organic matter can be an excellent alternative - 1 liter of chicken manure infusion should be diluted in a bucket of water and poured under a pear. One tree accounts for 25 liters of such a mixture;
• After flowering, the pear needs nitroammophoska. 50 g of the product is diluted in 10 l of water. There are 3 buckets of such feeding per tree.

The culture requires good lighting. However, plants feel uncomfortable in the heat. If there is an excess of light, then this can lead to drying of the foliage.

Branches that have dried up, deteriorated after winter should be removed. The stem part of the barrel is processed with iron red lead or lime.

In autumn, trees need to be fertilized with mineral fertilizers at the root. Top dressing is carried out around October.

It is important to ensure that wet snow does not stick to the branches of the tree. The snow is very heavy and can break branches.

Advice! The stem should not be covered for the winter, as the trees are highly winter-hardy.

Pruning

In the first year of fruit appearance, young shoots should be thinned. This procedure must be done in order for the crown of the tree to be of the correct shape.

The pruning procedure should be carried out twice a year: in the spring and autumn periods. All unnecessary branches must be removed, the long ones should be cut shorter with a garden knife or secateurs. Further, after pruning, the cuts are covered with the help of a garden varnish.

Terms of ripening and collection of fruits

The Lada variety is considered fast-growing. Pears ripen early. If all care technologies are followed, the first harvest will appear about 3 years after the seedling is planted. The first crop can be harvested at the beginning of August. The main crop can be harvested in the second half of August. Up to 50 kg of pears can ripen on approximately one tree.

Fruits on the stem are held tight. Pears may start to fall off as soon as they are fully ripe. This advantage will allow you to harvest in mid-September. By this time, the pears will become amber-golden with a blush.

It is not difficult to save the fruit of a pear. A dark, well-ventilated area is required, the temperature should be approximately 1–4 ° C. The optimum air humidity is at least 85%. Fruit should be stored in plastic containers or wooden boxes. The fruits should be laid in layers, which should be separated with clean paper.

Advice! You do not need to do more than two layers in one box.

Often the fruits are stored in the sand.When stacking pears, the layers can be sprinkled with sand. Using this trick, pear storage will last until November. 

Pest control 

The Lada variety is not afraid of scab and fire blight. Despite the culture's resistance to various diseases, it is possible that the tree may be affected by other pests.

It is necessary to fight parasites the moment the sap flow begins. To do this, it is necessary to dissolve about 700 grams of urea in one bucket of water. You need to process the trunk and the tree trunk circle. The treatment will destroy all pests that did not die in the winter.

If the fruit tree is processed after the start of sap flow, then the buds may get burned.

In order to avoid infesting the pear:

• scab, bacterial burn, fruit rot, brown spot, it is necessary to process the bushes with 1-3% Bordeaux liquid, Cuproxat, Meteor, Champion;
• powdery mildew and moniliosis, it is necessary to process the bushes with a 1-3% solution of Bordeaux liquid or 0.4% Abiga-Peak solution;
• cytosporosis - treatment is carried out with 1 - 3% solution of copper sulfate or 2% Nitrafen.

You also need to follow a number of rules:

• Plants should be processed three times: during the period from budding to pear ripening, even if there are no signs of disease;
• Timely remove all weeds and remove fallen leaves;
• Monitor the level of moisture and aridity of the soil.

Pear prevention is very important. It allows you to avoid damage by such pests:

• Pear honeydew, gall mite (before the flowering period, the pear is treated with Aktellik according to the instructions, after flowering, Chlorophos or Metaphos is used);
• Fruit moth, aphid, flower beetle (before flowering, you can treat with Iskra, Inta-Vir, Konfidor or Commander, after flowering, they are treated with Iskra or Agravertin);
• winter moth (processing is carried out by Zolon, Oleocubrite, Metathion or Chlorophos).
