Their trunks are crowned with a rounded, moderately dense crown. The branches will branch off from the stem at an acute angle. They grow straight and are colored brown.

Taste qualities

The dry matter content in the Limonka pear reaches 19.1%. The proportion of sugars is 9.9%, and the inclusion of titratable acids is 0.17%. Despite this ratio, the fruit is characterized by a sour taste. Their flesh is quite firm.

Ripening and fruiting

Lemon is one of the summer varieties of pears. It will be possible to harvest the fruits approximately at the end of August. But sometimes these terms are shifted, both because of the weather and under the influence of agricultural technology. The first collection takes place 7-8 years after disembarkation. It must be remembered that pears can crumble before ripeness.

Ripening of pears begins in the second half of summer and lasts until mid-autumn. In order to keep pears fresh and tasty until winter, the characteristics of the variety, the ripening time and the weather conditions in the region are taken into account when harvesting.

Yield

The number of fruits will be quite large. The exact figure is not named in the sources. But they assure that the collection will be stable.

Landing

Lemon is not too picky about development conditions. However, strict adherence to agrotechnical standards will prove to be very helpful. It is advisable to choose areas with loose soil, providing better aeration and water flow to the root system. Landing in spring or autumn is carried out on its own initiative. The roots are straightened very carefully, after which the dug soil of the upper layer is poured back, mixed in advance with mineral compositions and ash.

All this is desirable to tamp. The seedlings are tied up immediately. But you should not drag fragile specimens. The newly planted plant is watered using 20 liters of water. There are no more features.

In order for the fruits of the pear 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

Water this crop several times during the season. To prevent the water from spreading chaotically, you should dig narrow grooves, the width of which does not exceed 10-15 cm. Water should be poured slowly. Its consumption is 28-30 liters per 1 sq. m of the trunk circle. A special shelter for Limonka pears will not be required for the winter.

It is necessary to lay top dressing in a round trench. It is desirable to mix them with the ground. Of the mineral compositions, the use of potassium chloride is preferred. Urea and humus are recognized as the best organic fertilizers. When choosing between them, one must be guided by personal preferences.

In order for a pear to grow properly 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 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

Suppliers of planting material promise increased resistance to pathologies and insect pests. But still, the standard measures of protection and prevention will definitely not be superfluous. Instructions and precautions should be strictly followed.

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. For a successful struggle, it is first necessary 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

The official description promises high winter hardiness and the ability to withstand harsh frost conditions. Heat resistance not described. However, gardeners should still closely monitor the condition of this plant in the event of unfavorable weather.
