Any gardener will give preference to early varieties of culture in order to please themselves with fruits already in the middle of summer. But Krasulia pear differs not only in terms of ripening, but also in purpose, taste, and also in appearance.

Breeding history

The variety was bred in Chelyabinsk in the South Ural Research Institute named after E. A. Falkenberg, especially for the Urals, with its temperature extremes and a short summer season. The development of the culture began in 1987. According to some reports, Krasulia pear was entered in the State Register in 2002.

Pear varieties Little Joy and Pozdnyaya were chosen for the parental pair. The new culture produced brightly colored fruits. The skin turned out to be very strong, and the color gradually changes as it matures.

The main advantage of the variety is that the Krasul pear has an increased frost resistance. The tree grows even in the most unfavorable climatic regions of the country, it survives the winter well.

Description of the variety

The type of growth of the variety is medium. The height of an adult tree reaches 4 m. The crown is small, of medium height, round and semi-spreading. When shaping, it can be trimmed. Skeletal branches grow from the trunk almost at a right angle, only the top of the branch lifts slightly upward. They are compactly located relative to each other, not strongly intertwined with each other.

The trunk is medium in thickness, powerful and very stiff. As it grows, it deforms a little, bending. New shoots are green. Over time, the color begins to darken, the bark becomes brown-red or brown and smooth. Buds on young shoots are oblong.

Gardeners note that small thorns and hairiness can be found on fruiting branches. This is attributed to one of the disadvantages of the variety, since the thorns greatly complicate the harvest.

Leaves are elliptical, medium and wide in size, slightly pointed towards the tip. The plates are green in color, with a delicate pronounced nerve.

The peduncles of the variety are large, white, shaped like a bowl. The buds have a persistent sweet scent. Abundant flowering begins in mid-May.

According to the manufacturers, without the main covering, the tree can withstand frosts down to –30 ° С.

On the positive side, the fruit ripens early. Gardeners note high yields and ease of care and crown formation. It is stated that the culture has good immunity.

Among the obvious shortcomings of the variety, the small size of the fruits is noted, as well as thorns that interfere with the harvest. The shelf life of the crop is limited to 1-2 weeks in a dark and cool place.

Fruit characteristics

In terms of size, Krasuli fruits are medium. They are small, bergamot-like and rounded. On average, the weight of the fruit is 90 g, the maximum weight reaches 120 g. In the period of young maturity, the color of pears is green. Later, in ripe fruits, the skin color becomes green-yellow. The sides that have been in the sun most of the time have a slight red blush.

The rind is thin, slightly oily and glossy. Not felt when eaten, very tender. Gray spots are visible under the skin.

The fruit is well attached to a short, straight stalk.

The pulp is creamy, slightly loose. Inside is a small seed box.There are few seeds, they are quite large and wide. There is little dry matter inside, only 13 percent.

The fruits are completely unsuitable for transportation and long-term storage. Therefore, pears are most often consumed fresh, preserved or juiced. And also the variety is suitable for making jam or jam. You can process the pulp into a jam or puree.

Taste qualities

Krasulia pear fruits have a tasting score of 4.7 points. For many, the fruit is juicy, sweet, even a little sugary. But, according to gardeners, if the summer turned out to be cold and not sunny, then there are notes of astringency in the aftertaste.

In total, the amount of sugar is 11.2% for 0.49% acids. This gives sweetness to the fruit. Ascorbic acid per 100 g accounts for 8.5 mg.

Ripening and fruiting

The culture, in terms of ripening time, belongs to summer varieties. Fruiting occurs in the fifth year after planting. The first fruits can be harvested in late July - early August.

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

From a five-year-old tree, 20-25 kg of pears can be removed, from a ten-year tree - up to 40 kg. The peak yield falls on a plant aged from 10 to 20 years. After that, the tree must be rejuvenated and pruned.

Good fruiting is influenced not only by weather conditions and the amount of sunlight, but also by timely proper care.

Growing regions

There are no restrictions on the growing region. Initially, the culture was intended for cultivation in the Ural and West Siberian regions. Now any summer resident can purchase a seedling and grow it on his site.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

The culture cannot pollinate on its own, so it needs companion pollinators. Varieties with the same flowering period are selected. Most often, these representatives are Rainbow and North pears.

Landing

In order for the culture to take root well in a new place and ultimately give a good harvest, several planting rules must be followed.

  • You can choose any landing date. Autumn is characterized by abundant moisture and coolness, which gives good acclimatization. However, there are no insects or pests at this time of the year. But if the region is characterized by sharp temperature changes, then it is recommended to disembark in the spring.

  • The site must be well protected from gusts of wind, while not having a number of structures that will block sunlight. According to the characteristics of the soil, you should select slightly acidic or neutral, loose and fertile. Prepare it in advance.

  • It is best to plant young seedlings on a small elevation. It is important that the groundwater does not flood the roots. The culture doesn't like too humid environments. Many gardeners install a drainage system made of broken bricks or pebbles at the bottom of the pit. The hole diameter is from 70 cm, and the depth is up to 1 m.

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

Basically, caring for the Krasul pear is not difficult, you just need to follow the following points.

  • The first plant feeding is given in the second year after transplantation. Thereafter, every 3 years. Nitrogen is added in the spring, potassium and phosphorus are preferred in the middle of summer and in autumn.

  • The crown can be formed at will. To stimulate strength and growth, it is better to cut the shoots 1/3 of their length. Any cuts must be carried out with a sharp and disinfected pruner, and all should be coated with garden pitch.

  • Whitewashing is considered one of the stages of preparation for winter. It is held in October-November, before the first snow falls. It is necessary to whitewash the trunk before the first branches.

  • It is recommended to cover young bushes in the first years after planting. To do this, after whitewashing, the ground around is covered with mulch or spruce branches. Gardeners do not recommend using roofing felt or film when winding the trunk. It is better to drive a few pegs along the perimeter, and close the pegs with roofing material, and fill the spaces that have formed with mulch.

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.
