In the description of the Vidnaya pear variety, many positive aspects are indicated. Gardeners are attracted to high yields and resistance to common fungal infections. The successful development of culture largely depends on the right seedling, for which you need to select and prepare a place for planting. Plant care is standard, does not require a lot of time and effort. The harvested crop does not last long.

Description and characteristics of the pear Prominent

The variety was first bred by breeders in 1958 in Moscow. Pear Vidnaya has the following characteristics;

• tree tall;
• medium crop maturation limits;
• flowering begins at the end of May;

Pros and cons of the variety

The positive qualities of the Vidnaya pear variety include:

• shows unpretentiousness during cultivation;
• harvest is formed abundant and regular;
• resist well to low temperatures;
• high resistance to fungal infections;
• self-fertile.

The disadvantages include only inconvenience during crop care and harvesting due to the high growth of the tree. The harvested crop is stored for a short time - 7-10 days.

Boarding procedure and preparations

In order to grow a he althy fruit tree that will bear fruit, it is necessary to carry out the planting procedure correctly.

Choosing a place and time for landing

Pear planting can be started both in autumn and spring:

• Autumn work is preferably carried out in the southern regions. The best time is the last ten days of September, the first days of October. At this time, enough moisture and heat have accumulated in the soil, which are necessary for the survival of the root system.
• In regions with a cold climate, it is best to leave the planting procedure until the spring. Seedlings are planted two weeks after the snow has completely melted.During this time, the soil will be saturated with melt water and warm up to the desired temperature. It is important to have time to carry out the work before the start of sap flow.

For landing, you need to choose a warm, bright area that is protected from through winds. The place should not fall during the day from neighboring buildings and trees.

Ground water should not pass too close to the surface of the earth. Their depth should be at least two meters. When landing in lowland areas, drainage must be organized.

Pear grows best on fertile, loose soil with neutral acidity and good aeration. Lime is added to the soil to reduce acidity. Sandy, loamy and chernozem composition is ideal.

Preparing the landing pit

The planting pit is prepared a few months before planting the seedling:

• Dig a hole up to 85 cm deep and up to 95 cm in diameter.
• A stick 130 cm long is installed in the center of the recess, which will later serve as a support for the seedling.
• The top layer of soil (20 cm) removed from the pit is mixed with fertilizers (superphosphate, wood ash, humus are added). The resulting mixture is poured into the bottom of the pit, forming a mound.

For planting choose seedlings, whose age is 1-2 years. Their height should be 1 meter. In good planting material, the trunk and branches are flexible, without signs of damage. Roots must have at least three developed branches.

Pear planting technology

Pear planting consists of the following step-by-step actions:

• The young tree is placed in the center of the mound formed at the bottom of the pit.
• Gently distribute the roots.
• They fall asleep with earth, the root neck of the plant should protrude 5-6 cm above the ground.
• The soil around the trunk is compacted and watered with two buckets of warm water.
• Tie the trunk of the tree to the support.
• Mulch the soil with peat or sawdust.

Subtleties of plant care

Pear care is easy. Compliance with certain requirements will lead to an increase in the quantity and quality of the crop.

Irrigation and fertilization

The first years after planting, it is recommended to water the tree every week with two buckets of warm settled water. It is enough to water an adult tree twice a month.

Moisturizing is especially important at the following stages of plant development:

• before flowering;
• during the formation of ovaries;
• a couple of weeks before harvest;
• in the second half of September.

After the next watering, it is important to loosen the soil. The procedure will allow air, moisture and nutrients to be evenly distributed and get to the roots faster. In addition, loosening prevents the growth of weeds.

Fertilization is carried out at least four times:

1. In the spring, before bud break, it is recommended to feed with a solution of urea and s altpeter or chicken manure.
2. After the end of the flowering period, you need to add nitroammophoska.
3. In summer, potassium-phosphorus compounds are added before fruit set.
4. In autumn, after harvesting and most of the foliage has fallen, a solution based on superphosphate and potassium chloride is applied.

For trees, both a lack and an excess of trace elements are harmful, therefore, when breeding, the recommended proportions should be strictly observed.

Tree rejuvenation

Once every six years, a rejuvenating pruning is carried out, removing dry branches. Periodically carry out thinning and sanitary pruning. Remove excess, as well as dry and damaged branches.

The development of the tree and the improvement of the quality of the fruit are especially influenced by the formation of the crown. Choose three strong branches and cut them by a third. They will serve as the basis of the crown. The following year, the branches are shortened again and two more main branches are defined.

Preparing for winter

As soon as the pear sheds all its foliage, they start preparatory work for winter:

• The near-trunk area is cleared of debris, foliage and dug up.
• The trunk and lower branches are whitewashed.
• The area around the trunk is mulched with peat, sawdust.
• It is advisable to cover the trunk with spruce branches, paper or burlap.

These activities will make it easier for the tree to endure winter frosts and speed up its growth in the spring.

How to protect the Vidnaya pear variety from defeat?

Pear variety Vidnaya rarely gets sick, but it will not be superfluous to carry out regular preventive treatment against diseases and pests:

• Bacterial burn leads to the defeat of any parts of the plant. For therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, the tree is treated with copper sulphate, Bordeaux liquid.
• When brown spots and white rings appear, moniliosis should be excluded. The fruits dry up and fall prematurely. It is recommended to treat the plant with such preparations as Aktofit, Baikal, He althy Garden.
• Rust is accompanied by the appearance of red spots on the leaves. The leaves begin to turn yellow and dry. Bordeaux liquid or the preparation "Skor" helps.
• Cystoporosis can lead to the death of a tree. Bordeaux liquid, "Nitrofen" helps to get rid of the disease and prevent its reappearance.

Reduce the yield and destroy the fruit crop can be attacked by pests. Most often, the appearance of a tick, codling moth, bug leads to a problem. Drugs such as Iskra, Agravertin, Aktara, Decis help to cope with pests.

Which regions is the variety more adapted to?

Vidnaya pear variety is zoned in the Central region. The pear is often planted in the Moscow region and neighboring areas.

When and how to harvest?

Remove only completely ripe fruits from the tree. In the case of an early harvest, the pear does not ripen and the taste deteriorates.

Fruit picking is carried out in dry, clear weather in the morning or evening hours. The harvested crops are placed in wooden boxes or wicker baskets. Harvest storage is short. Stored at room temperature for no more than four days, in the refrigerator - no more than 1.5 weeks.
