Date of planting

You can plant seedlings in spring, when the earth warms up or in autumn, no later than a month before the onset of winter cold.

Boarding process

Since the crown has an average size, seedlings can be planted at a distance of 4 meters from each other. It is necessary to ensure that the distance to the fence or wall is at least three meters.

Pits for seedlings are prepared 3-4 months before planting. The depth should be 60, and the length and width - 80 centimeters. Two-thirds of the hole is covered with high-quality, fertile soil, which must be mixed with fertilizer.

As a result, the soil will gradually settle, and the fertilizer will dissolve into the ground. When planting, the seedling is tied to a peg.

Pruning is done in late autumn or during the winter period.

Water and fertilize

Grushe Rogneda is able to tolerate the lack of moisture well. However, to improve the quality of the fruit, it is recommended that two waterings be done during the season - before flowering and immediately after it ends.

Feeding is carried out starting from the second year of the plant's life. In early spring, there is a need for top dressing with urea. During June, another top dressing is carried out - sprayed with sodium humate. To do this, dissolve a tablespoon of the substance in a bucket of water.

When the end of September comes, 150 grams of superphosphate are poured into the trunk circle. This should be done at a distance of 25-30 centimeters from the tree trunk.

When a pear becomes an adult tree, top dressing is carried out as follows:

In April, 400 grams of dry urea is poured under the tree.
When flowering begins, apply complex mineral fertilizer.
After the end of flowering, nitrophoska is used for top dressing.
When the crop is already harvested, it is necessary to perform one more top dressing. To do this, potassium-phosphorus top dressing is introduced into the trunk circle.

Loosening and mulching

Loosening the soil and mulching is mandatory after watering, and the rest of the time - as needed.
