Description of the pear variety "just Maria"

Pear Prosto Maria is a medium-sized tree that can grow up to three meters in height under normal growing conditions. It is characterized by the presence of a narrow pyramidal crown, which has an average density. The crown of this tree can reach 2.5 meters in diameter. The branches of a pear Just Maria extend from the trunk at a right angle, and their ends go up.

This plant has pear-shaped smooth fruits, the formation of which is carried out on spears and ringlets.

Features of the variety:

• The fruits have a greenish-yellow hue and a shiny skin.
• The mass of one fruit of this plant is about 200 grams.
• When the pear is fully ripe have a golden yellow color.
• The fruits of the Just Maria pear are characterized by the presence of subcutaneous dots of a greenish tint.
• The pulp of the fruit is characterized by medium density, oily, tenderness, pleasant aroma and sweet and sour taste.
• The fruits contain small seeds that are dark brown in color.

Growing conditions

Pear growing tricks:

• Pear Just Maria is able to easily tolerate the shade, but a long stay of this plant in such conditions can lead to its defective development. That is why, in order to ensure a high yield, the pear must be grown in unshaded places.
• A sunny spot with partial shade is perfect for this pear variety.
• This plant is very fond of moisture. That is why he needs to ensure abundant and regular watering.
• If you do not adhere to these rules, then you can significantly reduce the level of frost resistance of a given plant. At the same time, you should not overdo it while watering the pear. In the event that the roots of a pear Just Maria are flooded with water, the sucking hairs of the root system of the plant will die off due to a lack of oxygen.

Pear Just Maria loves warmth very much, so it must be planted in sufficiently sunny places.

In order to ensure not only a rich, but also a regular harvest, the pear needs provide a balanced diet... This implies the timely application of fertilizers in the required quantities.

It is necessary to feed the pear regularly, which will have a beneficial effect on its growth and development. If the pear of Just Maria is provided with the right conditions in which it will grow, then you can achieve a fairly rich harvest.

Features of pear care

Pear Just Maria needs careful care... Otherwise, this plant will hurt, grow and develop poorly. In the autumn, rodents can damage the pear.That is why it is necessary to tie the tree trunks with thick paper after planting.

This plant is very susceptible to frost.

Its root system is particularly affected. That is why in the autumn period it is necessary prepare the pear for wintering. To do this, a mound of earth is made around the tree. Also, for the purpose of insulation, the place around the stem of this plant can be covered with foliage.

Young pears Just Maria need:

• Air access to the root system. That is why this plant must be regularly loosened and weeded.
• Growing pears requires regular fertilization.
• This plant requires regular application of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen. Nitrogen must be mixed with soil and filled into a special groove before the tree blooms.
• Potash fertilizers are poured into a sufficiently deep ditch and covered with earth. This procedure is performed once every 4-5 years.
• Also, for the full ripening of the fruits of this plant after its flowering, it is necessary to add a 0.4% urea solution.

Propagation of pears by cuttings

Pear Just Mary can reproduce in the following ways:

• Cuttings.
• Layers.
• Seeds.

Propagation of pears by cuttings is one of the most effective methods.

Pear cuttings:

• This requires take a green stalk from a full-fledged plant and place it in high temperatures (from 20 to 25 degrees). This will allow the cuttings to take root fairly quickly.
• There must be leaves on the selected cutting. This will allow you to monitor its engraftment.
• In order to provide the cuttings with a high temperature, you can use a film cover. In this case, it is necessary to ensure such conditions that there is no overheating of the air.
• In order to protect the stalk of a pear Just Maria from overheating, it is necessary to stretch a moistened cloth over it. Moreover, this fabric should not shade the plant. Otherwise, it will be rather weak and incapable of fully developing.
• On hot days, the cuttings should be sprayed with water 5-6 times a day if the day is sunny. In cloudy weather, spraying is done only 2-3 times a day. This procedure must be carried out until the leaves are completely moistened.
• The cuttings in the greenhouse must be positioned so that they are slightly above ground level.

In order for the Just Maria pear cuttings to take root faster, they must be treated with growth stimulants.

Heteroauxin tablets are ideal for this step. They must be dissolved in water, where the cuttings will be immersed in the future. Also, for the rapid emergence of roots, you can use liquid stimulants, which will be used to treat the cuttings before planting in the ground.

If stimulants are used in insufficient concentration, it can delay the growth of the cuttings. That is why you should be as careful as possible when using stimulants.

Propagation of pears by layering

The easiest way to propagate the Just Maria pear is to propagate with vertical layers.

This is because there is no need to control the environmental conditions during plant engraftment. For layering, it is necessary to choose the right shoots from a mature pear plant Just Maria.

Initially, it is necessary to prepare the ground, which is intended for the rooting of shoots. To do this, it is necessary to provide the area with no light, saturation with moisture and oxygen. In order for the roots to form as early as possible, it is necessary to cover the stem, thereby protecting the soil from the effects of light. For this purpose, hilling or covering the shoots with soil is carried out.

When breeding a pear, Just Maria, it is best to use ordinary shoots:

• This method is not only simple, but also quite effective. At the same time, the parent plant is practically not damaged.
• The branch of the parent plant must be covered with earth, leaving only the top.
• Roots will form in the place where the shoot is covered with earth.
• As soon as sufficient roots appear on the cuttings, it can be safely separated from the mother plant.
• In order to ensure effective root engraftment, it is necessary to use shoots that have a developed ability to root formation. To do this, it is necessary to cut off the branches from the pear twelve months before laying the roots.

Thanks to this, young shoots will grow fast enough... For propagation of pears, Just Maria is best to use such shoots. This is because it is much easier to bend them to the ground. Also, these shoots will take root much faster, which will allow them to be separated from the mother plant earlier.

Pear grafting "just Maria"

Reproduction by grafting is a rather complicated and lengthy procedure. It consists in the fact that from one plant it is necessary to take a branch and graft it to another. The plant to which the grafting is done is called the stock. Part of the plant that will be grafted and which is called a scion in this case is a pear Just Mary.

You can propagate a pear in this way before the start of sap flow or after it ends.

For vaccination you need:

• Cut one-year-old cuttings from the middle of the pear crown. The length of the cutting should be such that 3-4 buds are placed on it. This action is performed at the beginning of winter, since the first frosts can harden the wood.
• The growths must be tied in bunches and placed in the basement for the winter. You can plant a stalk on a thin branch. To do this, you need to choose a rootstock and a scion that are ideally suited to the diameter.
• The stock should be about 3 centimeters long. The scion and stock are cut at an acute angle, which will ensure good survival.
• After combining the scion and rootstock, they must be wrapped with stretch film and secured with electrical tape.
• If it becomes necessary to graft onto a thick branch or re-graft a whole tree, use the split grafting method. To do this, it is necessary to prepare two scions, the thickness of which is ten times less than the thickness of the rootstock.
• The rootstock branch must be cut down smoothly and carefully. Next, a crosswise incision is made in it. In order to push the wood apart, a wedge is clogged in the middle of the cut. On the scions, it is necessary to make wedge-shaped cuts and insert them along the edges of the stock cut.
• The rootstock must be inserted in such a way that the bark of the scion is aligned with the bark of the rootstock. The edges of the scion must be wrapped with electrical tape, and the cuts must be covered with garden varnish.

The grafting is carried out in order to improve the yield of pears Just Maria.

This procedure can improve not only the amount of yield, but also the quality of the fruit. Pear Just Mary is quite unpretentious tree... In order for this plant to grow and develop correctly, it needs to provide a sunny place, full watering, as well as timely fertilization.

It is also necessary for the pear to make timely pruning, which will allow the crown of the tree to form correctly. With all these procedures, you can achieve high results in terms of tree yield.
