Description and full characteristics of the variety

Dachnik before planting a plant, seeks to get more useful information. To do this, he studies the description of the variety, and based on the information received, makes a choice in favor of the species.

Pollination of Veles variety

Partially self-fertile species of Veles pear needs to be grown in the neighborhood of pollinating varieties. The plant handles pollination on its own, but it's still best to have a few other trees in the garden to help increase yields.

Pollinator varieties

Summer residents recommend planting varieties together:

• Voskresenskaya Large;
• Just Maria;
• Rogneda;
• Chizhovskaya;
• Severyanka.

The presence in the garden of trees that bloom at the same time with Veles pear, increase the yield by several times.

Tree height

The tree reaches its maximum height by 10 years of age. Then the size of the culture is 4 m. The crown is a little drooping, so in the spring, during flowering, the pear will decorate any garden plot. The summer resident himself regulates the height of an adult plant, forming a crown in any suitable way.

Lifespan

The variety was bred recently, so it is not yet possible to reliably say about its lifespan. Growers make the assumption that the tree will have the same lifespan as other varieties of the crop.

Winter hardiness

Frost resistance is high, the variety is grown in the Moscow region. The tree can easily endure harsh winters.

Yields

Fruit weight 150-250 g, it all depends on the care of the plants. Compliance with agricultural practices and the subtleties of planting allows you to get a consistently high yield of pears every year. One tree produces from 12 to 25 kg of fruit.

The more abundant the harvest, the smaller the fruits are formed. Regulatory pruning is carried out to increase fruit weight.

Cyclical fruiting

With proper care, the tree bears fruit without interruption. There is no particular cyclicity in the formation of the ovary and the ripening of fruits.

Self-fertility

Veles pear is partially self-fertile. If there are no other varieties of pears nearby, there will be fruits, but their number is insignificant.

Disease resistance

The tree is immune to crop diseases. But gardeners do not neglect standard preventive measures.

Advantages and disadvantages of Veles pear

The variety has positive and negative characteristics. The summer resident gets acquainted with this information even before landing.

Pros:

• universality of use;
• easy maintenance;
• annual, stable harvest;
• ability to bear fruit in unstable climatic conditions;
• stored for a long time;
• disease resistance.

Cons:

• drought-tolerant;
• fruits shrink with abundant fruiting;
• beginning of fruiting falls on the 7th year after planting.

These characteristics of the plant help the summer resident to make a choice.

Methods of reproduction

I would like to breed a good variety on the site myself. The summer resident needs to determine in what way it is better to reproduce. There are several common methods, the summer resident himself has the right to choose the right one.

Shanks

A common method used by many gardeners. The stalk is grafted onto a strong stock, and the tree acquires improved characteristics. Cuttings are cut in advance, take the middle part of the shoot. On segments leave 3-4 leaves. The lower one is immediately cut off. The upper end of the handle is cut evenly, the lower end at an angle.

The harvested planting material is stuck 2-3 cm into the fertile soil and the condition of the leaves is monitored. If they wither, then the seedling will not work. Such a cutting is thrown away immediately, giving the rest the opportunity to grow.

When the root system begins to actively develop, the stalk turns green, the resulting planting material is transplanted to a permanent place.

Layers

The second most popular way to propagate fruit trees. It is necessary to dig up a shoot or a low-growing branch. Wait until she gives roots, separate from the mother tree and plant in a permanent place.

How to properly plant a plant

Planting is an important part in growing a fruit tree. It is necessary to observe a lot of subtleties and recommendations of experienced gardeners. Then it will be possible to avoid common mistakes and get the declared harvest.

How to choose a seedling

What kind of planting material is used in cultivation determines which tree will grow in the future.

Requirements for seedling:

• he althy root system;
• intact stems;
• no signs of deformation and disease on planting material.

Seedling choose 2-3 years of age. Such plants are easier to accept and quickly adapt to new conditions.

Choosing a place and time for landing

The plot for growing pears is chosen on the sunny side. The culture does not tolerate the close occurrence of groundwater. It is desirable to choose a fertile soil. Apply fertilizer if necessary. Pickup time depends on where you live. It is recommended to carry it out in the spring. So the seedling is more likely to survive the winter.

Planted before the start of sap flow, until mid-April. If grown in autumn, then the period should be calculated so that the tree is well rooted before the first frost.

Digging a landing hole

They do it in advance, dig a hole 1 m deep, 70-80 cm wide. The bottom is filled with fertile soil mixed with peat, humus, river sand and mineral fertilizers.

Pear planting technology

A small mound is formed in the planting hole. A seedling is placed on it and carefully sprinkled with earth. Periodically, the tree is lifted, allowing the root system to crack down. Position the pear so that the root collar rises 5-7 cm above the ground.

After planting is complete, the near-trunk circle is abundantly watered and mulched with dry rotted residues.

Caring for Veles

No matter how well a tree is planted, without proper care the declared harvest will not be. It is necessary to observe the norms of watering, fertilizing and other agricultural practices.

Irrigation intensity

Pear Veles needs abundant, regular watering. Especially during periods of drought. Young plants are watered once a week, adults once every 3-4 weeks. With a lack of moisture, the ovary crumbles. This results in crop loss. After watering, it is desirable to loosen the trunk circle. This helps control weeds and provides oxygen to the roots.

Feeding

The first 2-3 years, the pear does not need to be fed. Fertilizers applied during planting are consumed by the plant during this time. From the age of 4, organic fertilizers are applied in spring and autumn, mullein infusion during the fruiting period. Also complex mineral fertilizers, which are used to feed pears in the intervals between the application of organic top dressing.

Cutoffs

Proper pruning will help preserve the crop, prevent plants from getting sick. There are several types of pruning that summer residents carry out annually.

Crown formation

It is recommended to use the cutting method - improved bowl. There will be no difficulties in the formation of this method. The pear will receive enough light and air. Fruits develop correctly. There are only 3 skeletal branches, the rest are side shoots.

Regulatory

With this pruning method, the summer resident regulates the density of the crown. By removing branches that grow inward or incorrectly in early spring.

Supportive

Shortening young shoots. There will be pruning in the summer. Shoots are cut 5-10 cm from the beginning of the branch.

Sanitary

Carry out such pruning throughout the growing season. All dry, diseased and damaged branches are removed from the tree.

Pruning rules

It's not enough just to cut the branches off the tree. In order not to harm, it is recommended to observe certain subtleties:

• before starting to sharpen and process the tool;
• do not leave hemp;
• cut large diameter sections with garden pitch.

Following simple rules will help save the tree and the harvest.

Preparing for winter

Veles pear is watered and fertilized in advance. Then they cover the trunk circle with mulch, and the trunk with roofing material. If necessary, in winter, they additionally throw snow. Focus on weather conditions.

Diseases and pests

There is a high degree of tree stability. But summer residents do not neglect the annual treatment for diseases.

Characteristic pear diseases and measures to combat them

Culture is characterized by fungal diseases. Summer residents, without waiting for the development of diseases, treat plants with fungicides and other chemicals.

Cure is better than prevention. To do this, gardeners tidy up the land:

• remove leaves;
• collect plant residues;
• everyone is burned or carried far outside the house;
• fertilizing and spraying with drugs.

In addition to processing, good prevention is weeding, loosening, mulching.

Insect pests and how to deal with them

Many insects tend to eat the fruits from the tree. Summer residents set traps, treat with special preparations.

Maturity and Harvest

Pears ripen differently in each region. The summer resident determines the degree of readiness of fruits in appearance. Pears are collected carefully, sorted out with high quality and placed in wooden containers.

To which regions is the variety more adapted

Initially, the variety was adapted to the conditions of the Moscow region. Then it spread to other regions. Due to the high degree of frost resistance, summer residents are experimenting with planting varieties in regions with risky farming. Since the species is still young, there is little research data. Growing Veles pear will not cause trouble for its owners. It is only necessary to fulfill simple requirements, the plant will thank you with the volume of the harvest.
