The best varieties of pears. Pear 'Petrovskaya' Pear Petrovskaya leading

Customers often ask to plant the best pears. How to choose the best pear? For me, taste comes first, but each person likes his own: some like sourness, others softness, others sweetness, and for others, decorativeness is important so that there are no stains on the fruit. For me, there is no better Lada, and no matter who I plant this particular variety, they always thank me for it. Although now there are better varieties similar to “Lada” (for example, Petrovskaya or Allegro), because “Lada” is almost every year affected by leaf spot, and the fruits are not stored for a long time, and wasps love to feast on the soft pulp. But my family does not gorge itself on any other variety with such pleasure as Ladoy.

I’ll tell you about the most popular varieties, and the choice is yours. Pay attention to the early fruiting of varieties. After all, you always want the tree on your plot to bear its first fruits faster, so be sure to choose at least one early-bearing variety (fruiting begins already in 2-3 years). As a rule, in the first year of fruiting, pears do not reveal all their taste qualities.

Summer

Average:

Lada– winter-hardy, self-fertile, early-fruiting, scab-resistant variety of the Timiryazev Academy. Delicious, perhaps the earliest pear in terms of ripening: we pick the first fruits at the end of July. Sweet, juicy, small, yellow with a reddish blush, round-shaped pears, weight 80-150 g. Stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.

Skorospelka from Michurinsk– the grade is high, but can be shaped. Ripens in early August, the fruits are almost round, yellow-green, with redness, sweet in taste, with a slight sourness. The variety is suitable for canning: compotes, jam.

Oryol beauty– ripens in early August. The shape of the fruit is closer to round, the color is green with yellowishness, a reddish blurred tint may appear. The taste is sweet, juicy, the flesh is fine-grained with a weak aroma. Fruit weight is about 150 g.

Allegro– ripens in the first half of August. Forms a medium-sized tree, the branches droop slightly. The fruits are pear-shaped, weighing 100-130-150 g. When ripe, redness appears on a green background. The pulp is soft, very juicy, sweet.

Severyanka(or Red-cheeked) – winter-hardy, early-fruiting variety. The tree is medium tall, up to 3 m; it is recommended to keep the height down by pruning. Fruits of different sizes from 80 to 120 g, truncated cone, green-yellow with a bright blurred blush.

Petrovskaya- a fast-growing, tasty variety of Moscow selection, very similar to Lada, but not so affected by spotting and gall mites. Tender, juicy, sweet with sourness, pear-shaped fruits weighing 110-130 g, ripen in mid-August.

Cathedral– a self-fertile, scab-resistant variety that begins to ripen in early August. The fruits are pear-shaped and regular in shape, weighing 110-130 g. Removed at the beginning of the yellowing of the fruit, sweet and sour taste. Stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Later years:

Chizhovskaya– self-fertile, winter-hardy, early-fruiting, productive, scab-resistant variety of the Timiryazev Academy, prone to fruit rot. The fruits are regular pear-shaped, weighing up to 110-140 g, light yellow, sweet and sour taste.

August Dew– a scab-resistant variety, the fruits are not inferior in taste to southern pears. To make pears larger, you need to thin out the ovaries. Ripens in mid-August. The fruits are short pear-shaped, greenish-yellow, with blush here and there, and can be of different sizes. The pulp is sour-sweet, juicy, white.

Prominent– winter-hardy variety, resistant to scab. Large, juicy, tender, with a pleasant nutmeg flavor, with a peculiar sourness, oblong-pear-shaped fruits. Begins to ripen in the first ten days of August. You need to pick the fruits as needed, and not all at once, as they are not stored for a long time (they darken inside). But they don’t overripe on the tree; they can hang for up to 2-3 weeks. A signal of ripening is the appearance of slight yellowness (straw color) on the fruits, and the stalks begin to easily separate from the branch. Ripe fruits may differ in color, but the surface is uneven. The longer the pears hang on the tree, the more saturated the color becomes: the fruits become bright yellow and blush appears. The variety is good for making sugar-free puree or pear juice with pulp for diabetics or baby food.

Autumn

"Petrovskaya" was bred in 1959 by crossing hybrids. The tree has an average height and crown density, the bark is brown and smooth.

The main branches are located at almost right angles to the trunk. The branches are crooked, their arrangement is sparse, directed upwards and to the side.

Fruit formations are of mixed type. The leaves are medium-sized, deep green in color, shaped like a wide oval with a serrated edge. The leaf is on a long petiole, the leaf blade is convex, slightly bending downwards. White flowers are small, cup-shaped, medium in size.

The curved stalk is elongated, the funnel is small, the saucer is small. The seed chamber is closed, the seeds are large, black. The fruit is greenish in color, elongated pear-shaped with smooth skin, weighing approximately 120-135 g.

The most common pear diseases are:

Watering, loosening and weeding

Young seedlings are planted once every 7-10 days; one tree requires 10 liters of warm water. During the dry season the frequency increases.

It is important to ensure sufficient watering during the period when it begins to flower and until the end of fruiting. From August, watering is stopped for the entire autumn-winter period.

The soil in the tree trunk circle should be loosened regularly; a dry crust should not be allowed to appear after watering the tree. It is important to carry out weeding; the tree trunk space should not contain anything other than the pear to avoid a lack of moisture and nutrients.

Did you know? Pear wood has a dense and hard texture; after treatment with stain, it becomes similar in appearance to ebony wood.

Fertilizing and feeding the tree

Poor soils in which it grows must be fertilized annually; for fertile soils, fertilizing once every 3-4 years is sufficient. From the second year after planting pears, you can begin to add humus at the rate of 8 kg of humus, 20 g, 10 g per 1 sq. m.

Fertilizers are applied in spring or autumn into a previously prepared trench. The ditch for feeding is filled with earth mixed with, and then covered on top to better feed the tree with useful substances.

How to prune a pear correctly

The pear needs to form a crown without thickening and without fruiting branches. When planting a two-year-old seedling, it is immediately pruned, leaving approximately four skeletal branches that grow at a 45° angle from the trunk.

The branches are shortened by a quarter at the same level above the ground for further good development, while the guide shoot should be 20 cm higher. Subsequently, parallel, long and closely growing branches are pruned, and the desired crown shape is formed.

It is advisable to treat the cut with garden varnish. Weak, crooked and dry shoots must be removed. Pruning is carried out in an amount not exceeding a quarter of the total number of branches.

When to harvest and how to store the Petrovskaya pear harvest

The maturity of the fruits of the Petrovskaya pear occurs by mid-August, but deviations are possible due to weather conditions. A slight yellowing of the fruit will indicate their ripeness.

Notes

Excerpt characterizing Pear "Petrovskaya"

“Oh, for mercy’s sake, Count, I understand very much,” said Berg, standing up and speaking to himself in a guttural voice.
“You go to the owners: they called you,” added Boris.
Berg put on a clean frock coat, without a stain or a speck, fluffed up his temples in front of the mirror, as Alexander Pavlovich wore, and, convinced by Rostov’s glance that his frock coat had been noticed, left the room with a pleasant smile.
- Oh, what a brute I am, however! - Rostov said, reading the letter.
- And what?
- Oh, what a pig I am, however, that I never wrote and scared them so much. “Oh, what a pig I am,” he repeated, suddenly blushing. - Well, let’s go get some wine for Gavrilo! Well, okay, let's do it! - he said…
In the letters of the relatives there was also a letter of recommendation to Prince Bagration, which, on the advice of Anna Mikhailovna, the old countess obtained through her friends and sent to her son, asking him to take it for its intended purpose and use it.
- This is nonsense! “I really need it,” said Rostov, throwing the letter under the table.
- Why did you leave it? – asked Boris.
- Some kind of letter of recommendation, what the hell is there in the letter!
- What the hell is in the letter? – Boris said, picking up and reading the inscription. – This letter is very necessary for you.
“I don’t need anything, and I won’t go as an adjutant to anyone.”
- From what? – asked Boris.
- Lackey position!
“You’re still the same dreamer, I see,” Boris said, shaking his head.
– And you are still the same diplomat. Well, that’s not the point... Well, what are you talking about? - asked Rostov.
- Yes, as you see. So far so good; but I admit, I would very much like to become an adjutant, and not remain at the front.
- For what?
- Because, having already started a career in military service, you should try to make, if possible, a brilliant career.
- Yes, that’s how it is! - said Rostov, apparently thinking about something else.
He looked intently and questioningly into his friend’s eyes, apparently searching in vain for a solution to some question.
Old man Gavrilo brought wine.
“Shouldn’t I send for Alphonse Karlych now?” - said Boris. - He will drink with you, but I can’t.
- Go-go! Well, what is this nonsense? - Rostov said with a contemptuous smile.
“He is a very, very good, honest and pleasant person,” said Boris.
Rostov looked intently into Boris’s eyes again and sighed. Berg returned, and over a bottle of wine the conversation between the three officers became livelier. The guardsmen told Rostov about their campaign, about how they were honored in Russia, Poland and abroad. They told about the words and deeds of their commander, the Grand Duke, and anecdotes about his kindness and temper. Berg, as usual, was silent when the matter did not concern him personally, but on the occasion of anecdotes about the Grand Duke’s temper, he told with pleasure how in Galicia he managed to talk with the Grand Duke when he was driving around the shelves and was angry about the wrong movement. With a pleasant smile on his face, he told how the Grand Duke, very angry, rode up to him and shouted: “Arnauts!” (Arnauts was the crown prince’s favorite saying when he was angry) and demanded a company commander.
“Believe me, Count, I wasn’t afraid of anything, because I knew that I was right.” You know, Count, without boasting, I can say that I know the regimental orders by heart and I also know the regulations, like the Our Father in heaven. Therefore, Count, I never have any omissions in my company. So my conscience is calm. I showed up. (Berg stood up and imagined how he appeared with his hand to the visor. Indeed, it was difficult to portray more respect and self-satisfaction in his face.) He pushed me, as they say, pushed, pushed; pushed not to the stomach, but to death, as they say; and “Arnauts,” and devils, and to Siberia,” Berg said, smiling shrewdly. “I know that I’m right, and that’s why I’m silent: isn’t it, Count?” “What, are you dumb, or what?” he screamed. I'm still silent. What do you think, Count? The next day there was no order: this is what it means not to get lost. So, Count,” said Berg, lighting his pipe and blowing some rings.
