Pear

The well-known pear tree is valued for its annual harvests of juicy and sweet fruits. They are suitable for both drying and making jam. The tree bears fruit and grows well in fertile, deep, loose soils. On poor, acidic and dense lands, the pear dies.

There are three main varieties of pears: early, winter and autumn. Early pears bear fruit at the end of the summer season. The group of autumn varieties produces crops throughout the fall, until November, and winter varieties - until frost appears. Depending on these varieties and natural conditions, the required tree is selected. After planting, the pear tree must be constantly fed, watered and branches trimmed.

Pear pruning is done in the spring. This procedure must be performed annually. As a rule, broken branches, damaged, diseased and growing inward are removed. Thanks to pruning, a pyramidal crown of the tree is formed.

The pear tree must be regularly weeded, loosened and fertilized. It is necessary to water so that the flow of water does not wash out the roots. There are also some other nuances when growing pears on a personal plot, which you will learn about by reading our section on pears.
