Ripening and fruiting

The Bessemyanka variety is one of the summer pears. Harvesting usually takes place at the end of August. The consumer period lasts from 7 to 10 days. You can remove the fruits for 8-9 years after planting. From that moment on, the harvest will be formed annually.

Ripening of pears begins in the second half of summer and lasts until mid-autumn. To keep the pears fresh and tasty until winter, harvesting takes into account the characteristics of the variety, the ripening time and the weather conditions in the region.

Yield

The productivity level is high. The declared ability to produce 260-270 kg of fruit per 1 tree. At the same time, it is very important to take care of the plant and keep it in good shape. Important: when the pears are ripe, they will crumble. The winter hardiness of the variety is beyond doubt.

Disease and pest resistance

Resistance to most pathologies is relatively high. But the danger of being hit by a scab is significant. During periods of massive outbreaks of infection, fruits and foliage can be severely affected. Protection measures are the same as for other plants.

Landing

Bessemyanka should be planted at the very beginning of spring. At the same time, they anticipate the moment when the kidneys begin to form. But you can get to work in the fall - from the beginning of October until the onset of the early cold weather.Meter depth pits are prepared in advance. The disembarkation procedure itself is nothing special.

In order for the pears to be tasty and of high quality, and the yields to be consistently high, you need to responsibly approach the planting of a fruit tree. When planting a pear, you need to take into account many factors: correctly determine the timing, choose the right place, pay attention to the preparation of the planting pit.
Pear grafting is a simple and exciting procedure, but it requires accuracy and adherence to a number of rules. First of all, you need to take care of the selection and procurement of inoculation material, deal with the timing and methods of vaccination. An important point is also the choice of the rootstock, on the quality of which the result of the entire event and future fruiting will directly depend.

Growing and care

It is necessary to irrigate the soil often enough, but in limited quantities. Chip mulch is highly recommended. Fertilizers should be applied and the crown should be carefully formed. Also in gardening descriptions it is advised to cut off all dry branches. The young roots of Bessemyanka do not tolerate the cold very well, and therefore it is recommended to cover them with a large amount of snow in winter.

We must remember that we need protection as well. They are weeded quite regularly. You can plant lupine, which provides the enrichment of the earth with useful substances.

Mandatory watering is carried out in the last third of spring and in the middle of summer. Also, it must be resorted to if a severe drought occurs. Usually they use 5-7 liters of water per 1 adult pear.

After each watering, the soil needs to be loosened. Fertilizers begin to be laid in the season following the formation of the first fruits. Most often, top dressing is used in spring and autumn. Fertilization in summer is not advisable. Mineral compositions are laid annually, and organic matter is used once every 3 years.

For fertilizing Bessemyanka, the use of peat or humus is recommended. Mulching will also help to achieve this goal. Sawdust and dry grass are considered good mulch. You can also use straw and paper. Dry leaves can also be added to the soil, but only after preliminary composting.

In order for a pear to grow correctly and give high yields, its branches must be cut off in time. Pruning can be done in both spring and fall. Depending on the age of the tree and the goals set, pruning can be: sanitary, thinning, shaping, stimulating, rejuvenating.
Feeding pears is a must-have procedure that cannot be ignored. Experienced gardeners recommend applying the first fertilizers two years after planting the tree. The process is divided into 3 main stages, which are determined by the timing of ripening, flowering and fruiting of the pear.
There are two ways to grow a pear seedling - vegetative and by seed. The first method is the most common, including propagation by cuttings, air layers, seedling buds. Seeds are grown less often, since in order to get a bountiful harvest with good taste of the fruit, the seedling will need to be grafted.

Like any other fruit trees, the pear needs protection from various diseases and pests. When planting a pear on your site, you need to know in advance what diseases you should beware of. To successfully carry out the struggle, it is necessary first to correctly identify the cause of the problem. It is important to distinguish signs of disease from manifestations of the presence of insects, mites, caterpillars and other types of pests.
