The subtleties of growing a tree

The presence of Severyanka or a tree of another variety nearby increases the yield of Permyachka. The tree does not grow well in saline areas and acidic soils.

Preparatory work before landing

Choose a he althy seedling, pay attention to the trunk and roots, they should not be damaged. When peeling off the bark, a bright green inner layer should be visible. Annual trees are planted, since 2-year-olds take root worse when planted.

Roots before planting are treated with an antifungal compound and a growth stimulator. You can hold the roots in a clay mash. Choose sunny areas for planting, protected from the wind.

Landing

It is better to plant Permyachka in spring, in the Central and more northern regions, seedlings will not have time to take root during autumn planting. The pits have been prepared since autumn, the size is 60x80 centimeters. You can plant from the end of March to the beginning of May, depending on weather conditions.

At the bottom of the finished pit, a layer of gravel and broken bricks is poured, which is drainage. The soil is mixed with humus, phosphate and potash fertilizers are added.

A mound of soil is poured into the pit, and a peg is stuck at a distance of 20 centimeters from its top. The roots of the seedling are straightened along the soil mound and the hole is covered with earth, ramming the soil. The root neck is left 5 centimeters above the surface. A near-trunk circle is formed, then the seedling is watered with 2-3 buckets of warm water. The soil around the seedling is mulched.

Further crop care

The tree needs pruning, watering, fertilization, protection from diseases and pests.

Cutting

It is held in autumn and spring. Remove dry and diseased branches, branches growing down; leave the strongest if two of them are located side by side. Cut off branches facing the trunk. Do not cut more than 25% of the branches at once.

Irrigation

Young and flowering trees are watered weekly, the rest - 2 times a month. Permian loves abundant watering, it is better to water the trees with warm water.

Feeding

In the first 2 years after planting, the pear is not fertilized. Then, in early spring, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, before flowering and during the formation of fruits, phosphate and potassium top dressings are applied. In autumn, the near-trunk circle is dug up, adding peat, humus, and rotted manure. To facilitate the penetration of fertilizers to the roots, a groove is dug 20-30 centimeters deep along the border of the near-stem circle and fertilizers diluted with water are introduced into it.

Protection from diseases and pests

From scab, fruit rot, the tree is treated with 1% Bordeaux liquid, "Soon". From rust fit "Topaz", "Horus". Appropriate insecticides are used against pests. All drugs are used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Harvesting and storage of crops

After ripening, the fruits are stored for 10-12 days. When transporting, they should be removed before they are fully ripe.

The pear is eaten fresh, it is used to make jams and liqueurs, dried and canned. Children and adults like it, and the appearance of varieties growing in the northern regions is especially pleasing to gardeners, allowing them to enjoy fruits grown in their own garden.
