A pear called Chizhovskaya has gained popularity among Russian summer residents due to its high and stable yield. To breed it, two well-known varieties were crossed: Forest Beauty and Olga. In some sources, this variety is mistakenly called Chizhevskaya.

Description of the variety

Medium-sized trees reach a maximum of 2.5 meters in height. Sometimes you can find taller specimens. The crown shape is oval, and the density is medium. The branches are covered with gray bark, they grow obliquely vertically. The thickness and length of slightly curved shoots are medium. The color is red-brown, saturated.

The density of the green mass is medium. It consists of medium-sized oval-elongated leaves. Green leaf plates are slightly curved in the region of the central vein. Snow-white flowers are medium in size, collected in inflorescences of 5-7 pieces. The shape of the bud is cupped.

Fruit characteristics

In weight, the fruits are about 100-120 grams. The shape is standard pear-shaped, slightly elongated and elongated. The experts marked the sizes as average or below average. Covering redness is almost imperceptible or weakly expressed, and the main color is yellow, with a green tint. Weak rustiness is observed.

A dense, but juicy, semi-oily pulp is formed inside. Its color can be either white or light and light yellow. The fruits are covered with an even, matte and thin skin. Many gardeners noted that it was dryish. Neat subcutaneous dots of green color are noticeable. Pears grow on short and straight stalks, medium in thickness.

Taste qualities

Ripe fruit tastes excellent. The harvest of the variety combines sweetness and pleasant sourness. When pears are eaten in their natural form, freshness is felt. The smell is weak. Evaluation of professional tasters - 4.1-4.2 points out of 5 maximum.

Ripening and fruiting

The Chizhovskaya variety will work with a harvest every year. Fruit ripening dates are late summer. The first pears are harvested 3-4 years after vaccination, which indicates early maturity.

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

Up to 50 kilograms of juicy fruit can be harvested from one tree. This characteristic indicates a high yield. Universal fruits have high marketability, but average transportability. Pears are harvested in early September. After ripening, pears can remain on the branches for a long time without crumbling. For long-term storage, only whole and undeformed pears should be selected.

If the temperature remains close to zero, the crop can be stored for 2-4 months. With proper storage, the taste of fruits only improves.Fruits that are overripe or beaten from falling to the ground are used as an ingredient for compote, juice or jam.

Landing

The above variety perfectly exists in light and fertile soils with low acidity. Otherwise, lime is added to the soil, which reduces the acid reaction. The site chosen for planting is prepared in advance by fertilizing with humus with the addition of mineral compounds. Potassium chloride or superphosphate is used as a supplement.

Before using store fertilizers, you need to carefully calculate their dosage and follow the directions on the package exactly. The planting hole is also made in advance.

When choosing a place for a hole, a number of requirements should be taken into account:

  • the pit should be at a minimum distance of 3 meters from buildings;

  • at about the same distance (3-4 meters) the rest of the fruit trees should grow;

  • when laying a garden on a slope, the latter should not be steeper than 10 degrees.

The pit is about one meter in diameter and at least 60 centimeters deep. During the formation of the hole, the excavated soil must be cut into 2 parts. The first consists of light and fertile soil, the second is the bottom layer of soil.

The nutritional composition of the following components is sent to each well:

  • a kilogram of superphosphate;

  • wood ash - 800 grams;

  • potassium sulfide - 150 grams;

  • several buckets of rotted humus (2-3 buckets).

All of the above components are thoroughly mixed with the soil, which was taken out of the hole.

During planting, fertilizers with a high nitrogen content are not used, since this component has a bad effect on rooting. Nitrogen is essential for the formation of a dense and lush plant mass.

Before starting the transplant, each tree is carefully examined for damage to the root system. All weak and damaged areas are removed. The speed of adaptation of seedlings depends on the strength and development of the roots.

The workflow is carried out as follows.

  • The roots must be carefully dipped in a clay mash.

  • A young tree is carefully placed in a planting hole, and the roots are carefully straightened. The root collar should be at ground level, it cannot be buried.

  • The remaining space in the pit is filled with soil.

  • Now the seedlings need to be watered thoroughly.

  • Once the water is absorbed into the soil, the soil around the trunk is covered with organic peat or straw mulch.

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

When growing the Chizhovskaya variety, a number of conditions must be met. Mature fruit trees tolerate dry and hot weather without any problems. During the formation of the ovaries and the filling of pears, watering is required, otherwise most of the ovaries will die. It is not recommended to pour water under the barrel, and the irrigation process itself is performed along the periphery.

And also regular shoots are removed. Overgrowth is often formed below the site of inoculation. If you do not get rid of it immediately, it will gradually take root in the crown. Waste shoots can completely suppress the fruit tree. In the process of removal, you need to cut the shoot under the base.

All fruit trees need feeding.

When using them, the growth rate of the pear should be taken into account:

  • complex fertilizers based on minerals are introduced if the pear forms a crop early;

  • phosphorus and potash dressings will help to cope with the problem when the tree abundantly grows green mass, while flowering and fruiting suffers.

The optimal scheme for using dressings is as follows:

  • in spring, nitrogen is needed, namely: urea - 10 to 20 grams is enough;

  • in the summer they switch to superphosphate - a volume of 20-30 grams;

  • potassium sulfate is useful in the spring in the amount of 20-30 grams.

Some gardeners add organic matter to the above components, which has a positive effect on tree growth. For example, you can choose humus as mulch. This component will regularly feed the soil with useful trace elements.

Caring for a pear necessarily includes pruning. If this procedure is ignored, the crown will become too thick and sloppy. Get rid of the branches that grow into the crown. Excessive thickening will negatively affect yields. The work is performed in the spring, after the snow melts. It is important to have time to carry out the procedure before the start of sap flow.

During pruning, remove:

  • broken and deformed branches;

  • shoots that grow at an acute angle (in relation to the stem).

After the end of the manipulation, all the places of the cuts must be treated with garden varnish, otherwise infection cannot be avoided.

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.
