Self-fertility and the need for pollinators
The variety belongs to the type of trees that self-pollinate: they do not need pollinators to produce fruit. It is this characteristic that makes gardeners acquire seedlings over and over again. Many scientists believe that this type of self-pollination is unstable. In many ways, the productivity of the crop depends on the climatic conditions of the area where the pear is growing.In order to have a good and large collection of fruits, it is advisable to plant a pollinator with a pear. An important condition is the simultaneous flowering of plants. Another method for pollination is grafting another pear variety onto the tree. It is advisable to plant 2-3 varieties.
Landing
The preparatory process for planting this variety is a very important point. It is recommended that you follow a few tips.
Choice of place and time. This variety is very light-requiring and prefers warmth. In the shade, the shoots will only stretch out, which will lead to a decrease in yield. The fruits will be located at the very top of the tree where there is sunlight. Choose a landing place only on the sunny side.
You should not plant a tree where there is constant moisture - it may simply die. The soil should be loamy with a little acidity.
The location of the pear of the Bryansk beauty must be protected from strong winds in winter. The best option is to land near the fence.
Seedlings can be grown throughout the season. It is better to buy trees 1-2 years old. In the south, planting pears is best done in the fall 2 weeks before the cold weather. In the central part of Russia, landing is carried out in early spring. The planting structure of young seedlings is identical to all trees.
Growing and care
The tree is easy to care for. The gardener requires minimal participation in the growth of the pear in order to get a huge harvest. There are a few rules to follow.
Regular watering, loosening the soil. The pear has a very powerful root system, it can fully provide itself with moisture. If there is not enough watering, the growth of leaves will slow down, which will affect later: low yield and tasteless fruits in this case are guaranteed. It is necessary to additionally water the young seedlings, once a week about 20 liters per tree is enough. A fruiting tree is watered much less frequently: it is better for them to water regularly during flowering. If there is not enough moisture, the ovary will be very weak. Mature trees require about 60 liters of water. In the fall, before frosts, gardeners recommend the last watering so that the moisture evaporates less.
Top dressing is needed to form the crop. It is recommended to use mineral, phosphorus, nitrogen and organic fertilizers: humus, peat, animal droppings. You need to add top dressing in spring, summer and autumn, on average 25-30 kg per tree. Organic fertilizers increase soil fertility. Can be added in dry or liquid consistency.
Pruning a tree. Pear Bryansk beauty is a very branched tree, it constantly needs to be cut through: to prune old, weak, dry, broken branches. This promotes the formation of a new crown and greatly facilitates harvesting. So at the time of ripening, the fruits receive more light. In young trees, pruning is done in the second year. Don't forget about the sanitary pruning that takes place in October. After pruning the branches, it is necessary to lubricate the cuts with oil paint to avoid infections.
Disease and pest resistance
This variety is very resistant to diseases and pests, has good phytoimmunity and practically does not get sick. In the fall, it is recommended to carry out prophylaxis of trees, since infection with powdery mildew is possible - a disease in which the leaves are covered with a white bloom. Of the insects, only the pear moth moth attacks the pear, which leaves a clutch of eggs on the surface of the fruit. The larvae eat the flesh of the fruit, so it is important to notice and remove them in time.
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.
