Pear Fun is not for those gardeners who are used to having fun. This plant requires a responsible and attentive approach. And if the basic rules of care are followed, then it will not present any problems - that is why relevant information is so important.

Breeding history

Pear Zabava was created at the Institute of Fruit Growing of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. To develop the variety, Aleksandrovka and Lyubimitsa Klappa were crossed. The authors of the program are not personally mentioned in the official description of the plant.

Description of the variety

For Fun, strong growth is typical. Its trees are capable of reaching a height of 5 m. The crown looks like a wide pyramid. The foliage is not too great. Fruits will form on both simple and complex ringlets.

Fruit characteristics

Their mass ranges from 120 to 160 g. The obovate shape or the configuration of a wide rhombus is characteristic. Zabava's pears reach medium and even large sizes. A greenish-yellow color dominates in their color, but the integumentary color combines brown and red notes. It covers the main part of the fruit surface, but never completely fills it.

Rustiness, if present, is only insignificant. The flesh of the fruit turns a plain white color. The rind is moderately firm. Its smooth surface is always dry. The formation of gray subcutaneous dots is characteristic; you can save the harvest in room conditions for up to 21 days, in a chilled state - up to 80-90 days.

Taste qualities

Typical of this variety are:

  • sweet and sour range of tastes;

  • relatively powerful aroma;

  • the share of dry matter is 10.77%;

  • the entry of titratable acids 0.13%;

  • the concentration of sugars of all types is 8.16%;

  • tasting expert assessment 4.6 points.

Ripening and fruiting

Fun belongs to the category of autumn varieties. Harvest time usually comes around the tenths of September. It is believed that the consumption period covers two thirds of September and the whole of October. However, the weather can always interfere with this schedule. When using a semi-dwarf rootstock, you can achieve a harvest already at 3 or 4 years of tree development; regardless of this, it should bear fruit annually if everything is normal.

Ripening of pears begins in the second half of summer and lasts until mid-autumn. In order to keep the 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 declared ability to produce from 20 to 30 kg of fruit per 1 trunk. The harvest for plantation cultivation reaches 15-20 tons per hectare. Of course, all this strongly depends on the cultivation conditions.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

This tree is self-fertile. It needs such pollinating pears as:

  • Bere loshitskaya;

  • Autumn favorite;

  • Elegant Efimova.

Landing

You can plant a pear Zabava even on dense clay soil. In this case, you will have to prepare a large deep hole. It is unacceptable to use areas where groundwater approaches the surface closer than 2.5 m.If this cannot be avoided, it will be necessary to form a bulk ridge. It is required to choose thoroughly illuminated areas, protected by any obstacles from the north wind; Whether to plant a crop in spring or autumn - you have to decide on your own.

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

The official description insists on the high winter hardiness of Fun. But to abuse this ability of her is hardly reasonable. Such a plant is characterized by a moderately high resistance to fungal infections and bacterial cancer. At the same time, resistance to other infectious infections, including scab, is quite high. However, it is advisable to help the culture by maintaining the correct agronomic training and performing preventive treatments.

Watering should be active during the period of rapid growth. It is impossible to do without intensive irrigation even when the tree is in bloom, when the ovaries are folded. Regardless of the stage of the growing season, Fun should be watered intensively on hot, dry days. Timely mulching is very important. With proper planting, the plant will not require feeding in the first year.

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 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 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, ticks, caterpillars and other types of pests.
