Pear Cathedral, planting and caring for which is not complicated and a little painstaking, is liked by many gardeners. When planting Cathedral, you need to choose a flat and dry surface on your site. The density of the soil should be as high as possible so that it can retain all the moisture it receives for as long as possible. The most suitable soil for such a tree should contain a lot of nutrients, black soil or ash... The pear is usually planted in late spring or early autumn. Garden trees tolerate the winter period well.
Pear trees of the Kafedralnaya variety cannot be planted in the shade and in hollows.

- Dig holes 60 cm deep, 100-150 cm wide. The width depends on the soil. With ordinary soil, the width is minimal, sandy, however, requires increasing it to 150 cm. After preparing the pit, you need to wait several days so that the seedling does not settle after planting. The distance between the pits is better to take 3 meters.
- Start planting in a few days.Place the future tree vertically to the ground and cover it with earth, pounding. A fragile tree trunk needs to be pegged up. If necessary, place a stake next to the barrel.
- Attach the trunk to the pre-prepared peg / stakes and sprinkle with water.
Studying the features of the cathedral pear, its description and photo, it is also necessary to take into account that the middle-summer variety begins to ripen in the 2nd half of August, and the tree does not bear fruit for long.

This is especially important for a young tree.
Pollinators for the cathedral pear have a certain value, although it itself is quite fertile. Varieties Chizhovskaya, Rogneda, Lada, Nursery, with cross-pollination, do an excellent job with their purpose.
