Description of the best varieties of pears for the Moscow region, self-fertile, undersized and resistant to diseases

Some gardeners can boast of pear varieties for the Moscow region. Heat-loving trees give a stable yield of juicy fruits. But how to achieve sustainable fruiting? How to make a tree delight with fruit every year in an unstable climate? First of all, you should pay attention to the variety or hybrid. Many are zoned for the Moscow region and bear fruit successfully. And on others it is simply a pity to waste space in the garden.

Features of the climatic zone

The Moscow region is located in a zone of moderate continental climate. It is characterized by an uneven distribution of precipitation. It happens that the bulk falls in the fall or spring. And in summer there is a drought. At the beginning of winter, severe frosts are not uncommon, accompanied by a sharp northerly wind. And in late spring, return frosts come, when sub-zero temperatures are established for several days.

In such conditions, caring for a southern pear is quite difficult. The tree blooms early, and repeated spring frosts can prevent flowers from pollinating and destroy the ovaries.

Cultivation of the crop is difficult, since the fruit buds are laid in the previous summer and can freeze out in winter.

In conditions of a short warm period, it is recommended to plant early maturing and early-growing varieties and hybrids. They begin to give a stable harvest in the 3rd year of the tree's life in the garden.

Summer varieties

Summer varieties have a short growing season. They give early, fully ripe fruits. But their keeping quality is small: only 2-3 weeks.

Lada

This is an old variety with medium-sized fruits (up to 110 g). Gardeners are attracted by:

  • early maturity (the tree gives the first fruit after 3 years of life in the garden);
  • self-pollination;
  • scab resistance;
  • frost resistance (fruit buds can withstand temperatures up to -25 ... -27 degrees);
  • yield (30-40 kg per tree);
  • sugary with sour taste of fruit.

But the variety also has disadvantages:

  • low keeping quality of fruits (pears are stored for 2-2.5 weeks);
  • thin skin impedes transportation;
  • the pulp has a pronounced graininess;
  • low juiciness of fruit.

It is important to remember: the presence of a pollinator in the garden (Chizhovskoy, Rognedy) increases the fruiting of Lada by 20-30%.

Krasulia

In the garden you can often find Krasula with slightly ruddy fruits weighing up to 120 g. It is easy to identify it by its spreading crown and thorns on the branches and trunk. A tree grows up to 4 m.

The best sweet pear varieties

Ripe pear contains a large amount of sugars, which means it has a sweet taste. But some varieties, even unripe, are the most delicious. Some of them can be grown in the Moscow region:

  • Autumn sweet;
  • Oily sweet;
  • Prominent (Bumpy).

These varieties will delight the sweet tooth with an excess of sugars.

  • Duhmyanaya;
  • Wizard;
  • In memory of Yakovlev.

These trees are zoned for the Moscow region.

Columnar varieties for the Moscow region

Columnar pears are increasingly chosen by gardeners of the Moscow region. The reasons are obvious:

  • undersized trees;
  • the crown is compact, pyramidal;
  • early-growing pears.

And even relatively low, compared to classic varieties, the yield is not an obstacle to purchase. The dwarf pear is increasingly found in gardens near Moscow.

What varieties are recommended for planting:

  • early winter Dalikor;
  • summer decor;
  • summer Carmen;
  • Honey.

But it is important to consider: columnar varieties age and stop bearing fruit faster than classic ones.

Self-fertile varieties

Pear is a self-fertile tree, that is, it requires a pollinator. This is a variety or hybrid that blooms at the same time as the purchased variety. But recently, self-pollinated varieties and hybrids have become popular. In the Moscow region, it is recommended to plant:

  • Lada;
  • Krasul;
  • August dew;
  • Red-sided;
  • Muscovite;
  • Elegant Efimova.

  • Faithful;
  • Thumbelina.

These trees are recommended for growing in the Moscow region.

Recommendations when choosing seedlings

Gardeners should remember:

  • it is better to plant a pear in the spring (it will have time to build up the root system for winter);
  • the plant should have a fibrous system and 1-2 chopped tap roots (when purchasing seedlings with an open root system);
  • the pear must be planted in a pre-prepared pit;
  • the plant should be tied to a peg and shaded.

The place for the pear should be closed from cold northerly and northeasterly winds.
