The pear has grown quite tall, with a spreading crown, so this variety is definitely not suitable for a small garden plot. The tree itself does not require special care and very rarely gets sick. However, I was upset that I waited 7 whole years for the first harvest from it.

Choosing a landing site
In spring or autumn, planting a young plant on a plot of land makes no fundamental difference; the conditions in which the seedling finds itself are more important than the time of its “settlement”.
The pear cannot be considered a picky plant, but, like any other species, it has its own preferences, and they must be taken into account when choosing a place for planting, otherwise you will not see good harvests.
The tree is powerful, with age the crown of the Larinskaya variety becomes spreading, and since the Larinskaya pear does not tolerate close proximity, the place for planting it must be chosen away from buildings, fences and plants that could compete with it.
For normal growth and fruiting, a pear needs a lot of sunlight; if it is deficient, the tree does not gain full growth, the fruits are small, sour, weakly pigmented, the crown of the tree must be well ventilated, this is necessary to prevent fungal diseases.
From all this it follows that for the pear you need to choose a free, well-ventilated and lit place.
The pear is not too picky about the composition of the soil; it grows worse on heavy loams, but any soil can be improved when planting the plant.
When choosing a location, you need to pay attention to the fact that a good harvest is only possible if other pears grow nearby. The best pollinators for the Larinskaya variety are the following varieties: Severyanka and Skazochnaya

Planting and care details
Season
The best time to plant Svetlyanka pears is considered to be autumn.
If you decide to plant in the spring, then everything necessary for planting should be prepared in the fall.
The soil
These trees will be most comfortable in loose soil, which allows moisture and air to pass well to the roots.
It will be great if there is a little clay in the soil, which will help moisture stay longer at the root system of the tree.
Pit preparation
Holes for planting should be prepared in sufficiently lit, but not the hottest places in your area or garden. The depth of the pit should be approximately 0.5 m and the width should be 1 m. It is advisable that they be located on the west, south or southwest side.
The soil that was dug out of the hole for planting the Firefly pear should be mixed with organic fertilizers, which could be manure, compost, peat and mineral fertilizers (phosphorus or potassium must be present). Add wood ash (or lime) to acidic soil.
So, first make an earthen mound at the bottom of the hole, and drive a peg into the center. After this, you need to place the seedling in the hole and distribute the roots over the mound as carefully as possible. Next, fill the hole with soil and compact it with slams.
Actions after landing
Next, you should immediately make a roller around the tree and pour a couple of buckets of water into it. When it is completely absorbed, mulch the soil and tie your newly made garden decoration to the stake, being careful not to overtighten.
The best way for proper watering is, of course, real rain, but you can pour water into the groove of the trunk circle. For 1 m2 of tree trunk circle - 3 buckets of cool water.
Advice from experienced gardeners for beginners
Often, beginning gardeners may have difficulties growing and caring for pears.
To minimize the likelihood of such problems occurring, experienced gardeners recommend following a few simple tips:
- when watering, it is better to “underwater” the plant rather than overwater it, since stagnation of water in the soil can provoke rotting of the root system, which will entail the death of the entire crop;
- if there is a lot of fruit falling, it is advised to set up watering schemes for the pear and add a small dose of mineral fertilizers to the soil, which can strengthen the tree;
- It is necessary to remove pears in dry, warm weather. Fruits collected in the morning, evening or during times of high humidity are poorly preserved;
- For long-term preservation, fruits should be stored in wooden or plastic boxes in several layers, each layer covered with sawdust or straw. The optimal conditions for storing fruit are considered to be a temperature of 0...+3 ° C and a relative humidity of 80-85%.
