The beautiful name of the Decor pear allows you to expect a good aesthetic and practical result. However, it will only be achieved by those farmers who carefully study such a crop and analyze its properties. It is important to pay attention to the features of both planting and subsequent care.

Description of the variety

The plant has an officially approved synonym - Pyrus Dekora. This is a typical dwarf culture. Many trees do not rise higher than 1.9 m, and only a few reach the level of 2.2 m. For them, a column-shaped trunk is typical. Small branches are pressed against the trunk and grow exclusively upward. Another important feature is the large amount of foliage.

Fruit characteristics

The highlights are:

  • average weight 200-250 g;

  • round shape and rather large size;

  • green-yellow color (no blush);

  • high probability of fruit shedding.

Taste qualities

The flesh The decors are grainy and very juicy. It is characterized by a particularly delicate structure. The white inside is sweet. They also note a light pink aroma in such pears.

Ripening and fruiting

The decor belongs to the category of late summer pears. Fruit picking is possible from the last days of August. What is nice, the tree begins to give tasty fruits already in the second year after planting (if the gardeners did everything right). Then new harvests will appear 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

Harvesting from 1 tree can reach 20 kg of fruit per season. This result is achieved consistently if the basic agricultural practices are followed. You need to understand, however, that sometimes weather surprises spoil the whole idea.

Growing regions

The variety is zoned into:

  • the center of Russia;

  • northern regions of the European part;

  • Siberia;

  • the Ural regions (therefore, its cultivation in areas with a milder climate is all the more attractive).

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

This plant is self-fertile. There is no need for pollinating plantings nearby. However, if they are available, productivity can increase. The measures to attract pollinating insects to the garden are traditional.

Landing

Landing at the very beginning of spring or with the onset of autumn is recommended. The season is chosen in accordance with the climatic regimes and the actual temperature of a particular season. In harsh areas, spring planting is preferable, allowing the trees to take root during the growing season. If in the fall the temperature is about 20 degrees during the day for any length of time, then such a moment is also a good fit. It is optimal if the work will be completed in the first half of September, since already in October the land is too cold for rooting.

It is best to select one-year decors. It is very important that the roots of this plant are healthy and free from even minor defects. Before planting, the root complex is soaked in water for about 8-9 hours. The pit is prepared in advance, 10 days before the procedure. Bricks or expanded clay are usually used as drainage; regular pebbles will do as well.

When the drainage layer is formed:

  • fill up the earth;

  • introduce minerals and organic substances into it;

  • form a slight rise;

  • buried roots in this mound and lightly tamp the soil;

  • water the plant and loosen the soil.

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, understand 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

This variety develops on the site for an average of 18 years. After this period, the tree inevitably begins to wither and dies pretty soon. Sanitary and anti-aging pruning helps to push back the critical moment a little. The Decor pear is moisture-loving and therefore should be watered abundantly. For the first time after planting, irrigation is carried out 4 times a week.

Each watering should be completed immediately by loosening and scattering the mulch. But since the roots are located close to the surface of the earth, the soil should be loosened very carefully. Top dressing is laid several times a year:

  • humus is used in the spring;

  • complex formulations are used in the summer;

  • in the autumn months, organic feeding is preferable.

When pruning, it is advisable to shorten the trunk by about 20 cm. This will activate the formation of lateral shoots. The tree should be pruned three times a year, and the final autumn pruning is especially significant. All cuts are supposed to be processed with garden pitch. In spring and autumn, the trunk is whitewashed using lime mixed with a small amount of copper sulfate; before this, the trunk must be cleaned of old bark.

For shelters for the winter, it is recommended to use:

  • soil;

  • fir paws;

  • peat.

Before the onset of winter, you need to put a support for the garter. The root area is filled with foliage, humus or ordinary soil. A miniature greenhouse should have a frame covered with insulation. There is usually a plastic wrap on top of the insulation. When spring comes, the frame is dismantled and the shelter is dismantled.

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.

Disease and pest resistance

The official description of Decora insists on its immunity to pathologies. However, farmers are better off exercising reasonable care. The danger of infection and insects is especially great in violation of agricultural standards. This variety is attacked by the same aggressors as other types of pear trees.

Mostly the risk is associated with invasions:

  • flower beetles;

  • scale insects;

  • aphids;

  • gall midges;

  • pear moth;

  • hawthorn;

  • leaf rollers;

  • silkworm.

Among the diseases, a serious threat is posed by:

  • moniliosis;

  • defeat by a sooty fungus;

  • scab;

  • fruit stony;

  • powdery mildew;

  • leaf rust;

  • phyllostictosis;

  • furrowing of wood.

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.

Resistance to soil and climatic conditions

Such a pear has a fairly high winter hardiness. It is worth noting that at an early stage of development, shelter for the winter is still necessary. Developed plants are able to withstand well even spring and autumn frosts. Of course, timely water-charging irrigation will provide invaluable assistance to the culture.

Review overview

Appreciation of the decor pear by gardeners is quite favorable. In bad weather, even with the onset of recurrent frosts, this plant still develops successfully. It is important to properly prepare it for winter. Yields are consistently consistent and even in limited gardens this tree does well. Preventive treatments in the spring and fall months are essential.
