Chizhovskaya

A variety of Russian breeders that can be found in many gardens in the Moscow region. One of the main reasons why summer residents in regions with harsh climates love it so much is its high frost resistance: the tree can withstand air temperatures down to -30°C.

Gardeners highly value the high taste of Chizhovskaya pears. The fruits are yellow-green in color (sometimes they take on a slightly pink tint) with thin and delicate skin. The pulp of the fruit (its color is light yellow) is slightly oily, without granulation, has a sweet and sour taste and a light aroma. The fruits are suitable for use both fresh and processed.

The Chizhovskaya pear is unpretentious in care, can grow on soils of different compositions, and is resistant to many diseases, especially scab.

In memory of Yakovlev

Memory Yakovlev pear is a winter-hardy and hardy variety: the tree can withstand winter frosts down to –30°C, is resistant to spring temperature changes, and bears fruit even after freezing during return frosts.

The yield grows every year and after 10 years of age reaches 100 kg per tree. However, watering largely affects the yield and taste of fruits: in the absence of moisture, these characteristics noticeably deteriorate.

The variety is resistant to most pear diseases and can resist scab and septoria.

How to plant a pear

An important step is the correct choice of place for planting the pear and careful preparation of the planting hole. For planting, one- or two-year-old pear seedlings with a developed root system and no visible damage to the above-ground parts are used. Spring planting of pears is acceptable, although experts recommend planting pears in the fall - in the middle or end of September, when the leaves of the seedlings have fallen and sap flow has stopped.

The best soil for planting pears is clayey and loamy, with deep groundwater. Acidic soils are pre-limed. Choose a place for planting pear seedlings that is sunny and protected from the winds. A planting hole 1 m wide and 80 cm deep is dug in advance. At a distance of 30 cm from the center, a stake is driven in, which is necessary for the proper growth of the tree.

How to plant a pear tree.

8-10 kg of rotted manure or compost, 50 g of superphosphate, 30 g of potassium salt are added to the pit and mixed with a small amount of soil. The pear seedling is placed in the hole and they begin to add soil, periodically shaking the tree itself. If planted correctly, the root collar will rise 6-8 cm above ground level. Then the soil is firmly trampled and several buckets of water are spilled. The trunk of the pear seedling is tied to a peg and finally the trunk circle is mulched with humus or manure so that the mulch does not touch the tree trunk.

Krasulya

Krasulya is one of the fastest ripening varieties: the first pears ripen already in early August. The fruits are round in shape and have a bright red color when fully ripe. The pulp is juicy, loose, slightly oily, and very sweet due to the large amount of sugars.

The variety is winter-hardy, but in the first years of life, before fruiting begins, it is recommended to insulate the trees for the winter. Krasulya is resistant to many diseases; it is practically not affected by scab and bacterial burn.

Among the disadvantages of the variety are the presence of thorns on the fruit branches and the short shelf life of the fruit. Krasulya pears are used mainly for processing and only immediately after harvesting are they consumed fresh.

Features of growing pears

The varietal characteristics of a certain type indicate the sweet taste of the fruit. It is on these that gardeners rely when making a choice. But to get juicy and sweet fruits you need to put in a little effort:

• plant a tree on the sunny side of the site;
• in the spring they prune and carry out preventive treatments against pests and diseases, feed;
• In summer, especially during the hot period, water regularly. In the event of the appearance of diseases and pests, treatment is carried out with chemicals or folk remedies;
• in the fall, after harvesting, they carry out sanitary pruning, treatment against diseases and pests, and fertilizing;
• In preparation for winter, the trunk and stem branches are whitened with lime, the trunk circle is dug up and mulched. If necessary, cover the plant.

Clapp's Favorite

Summer high-yielding variety of pears. In the southern regions, the fruits are yellow with a reddish blush and ripen at the end of July. The skin of a ripe fruit is smooth, the flesh is white, tender, juicy, aromatic, sweet with a sour aftertaste. When ripe, the fruits quickly fall off and are not stored for long. This is a self-sterile variety, but in the vicinity of Duchess Summer it will be able to fully “realize” its potential.

Varieties of pears in the Leningrad region and North-West Russia

Before purchasing pear seedlings, you should check all the surrounding summer cottages where fruit-bearing pear trees grew and ask their owners to let them try the fruits. Ask for the name of the varieties of pears you will try. The fruits should not be hard and dry, “cotton-like”. Pears should be juicy and appetizing. The skin of these fruits is smooth and shiny.

For residents of the Leningrad region, the Bergamot variety is recommended. The yellow fruits with a blush are very large and sweet, and most importantly, juicy: splashes fly when you bite them. I bought such an annual seedling. You can buy an annual seedling of the Chizhovskaya variety as a pollinator.

Bergamot is an early variety, ripens in late July - early August. Chizhovskaya is a medium-ripening variety. Its fruits ripen after the Bergamot variety. In the third year after planting the seedlings, we tasted the first fruits from each tree. Bergamot exceeded all expectations: juicy, sweet, large fruits ripened. The fruits of Chizhovskaya were larger in size than Bergamot: yellow in color - and also juicy and sweet. But still the record holder for sweetness turned out to be Bergamot.

Muscovite
