The Urals are characterized by peculiar weather and climatic conditions that must be taken into account when cultivating pears. Under these conditions, the role of the variety especially increases, which must be adapted to the local climate and combine winter hardiness, disease resistance and high productivity. That is why you should find out in advance which pear to plant in the Urals and how to grow it correctly.

Pear for the Urals: the best varieties

Safe (Bere yellow improved)

The variety was obtained by mutation of cuttings of another species, Bere yellow, carried out in laboratory conditions. The main characteristic that justifies the prospects of this variety for the Urals is the very high winter hardiness of both wood and flower buds. The tree is weak, with a rounded crown. The branches are strong and strong, grow obliquely and extend upward.

The mass of fruits is average for this culture, about 110 g. In shape, the fruits are ovoid, regular, with a smooth and even skin. The main fruit color is light yellow, the integumentary color is absent.

The tree begins to bear fruit in the 5th year of cultivation and immediately brings a large and high-quality harvest. Fruiting proceeds regularly, no shedding of ripe fruits is observed. Pears have high commercial qualities; they can be transported over considerable distances. With proper organization, fruits can be stored for up to 3-4 months. The variety is resistant to the main diseases and pests of the pear, and is also versatile, suitable for various types of technical processing. Its disadvantages include the need for a pollinator and low drought tolerance.

Dobryanka (Sentyabrina)

Obtained as a result of purposeful crossing of form 2-39 and pear variety Pervenets. The trees are medium in size, grow rather quickly and begin to form a crop in 4-5 years. The crown is pyramidal, persistent and strong, with a medium degree of foliage. The branches are strong, growing from the trunk at an obtuse angle.

Ripe fruits are characterized by an average weight of 160 g, the maximum weight reaches 190 g. Fruits have a pear-shaped or lemon-shaped form with an expansion in the middle part. The peel is smoothed, dryish, dullness is present. The color is deep green, with time it turns into yellowish-green with the presence of brown-reddish stripes on the surface of the fruit.

The pulp is medium-dense with a yellowish color, without the presence of stony fiber. This ensures the taste of the fruit. The yield is high, it is formed annually and in an average time, without crumbling at the same time. The fruits can be transported long distances.

Any pear pollinator is suitable for the variety.

Important! All parts of the tree, including flowers, tolerate winter and spring low temperatures well.

The variety is also resistant to scab, mononucleosis and parasites. The main disadvantage of Sentyabrina is a short (no more than a month) storage period for fruits.

Talitsa (Skorospelka Sverdlovskaya)

Pear Talitsa is the result of hybridization of pear varieties Yellow Bere and Early Summer.

Important! As the variety progresses to the regions located north of the Urals, a slight decrease in winter hardiness is noted.

The variety is self-fertile. For normal cultivation, you need to grow several pollinating trees next to it.

Penguin
