Planting a pear tree

When planting young seedlings, it is very easy to injure the root system. Therefore, all work is performed before or after the end of sap flow.
To correctly establish this period, visually inspect the tree. In the spring, his buds should not bloom yet, and in the fall all the leaves should already fall
But the best time to plant in a permanent place is autumn from September 20 to October 1. During this period, it is already raining, and there is still an opportunity to shed a tree well.
Pear seedling age
It is best to buy a Yakovlev's favorite sapling one-year or two-year.
As practice has shown, older trees get sick when planting, because the pivotal root system suffers. Such a plant does not take root well and may lag behind in growth. At this time, the younger pear seedlings will already have time to form a powerful skeleton.
Choosing a landing site
Pear Yakovleva's Favorite is a tall tree, so choosing a place for planting it should be approached responsibly.
It is advisable to keep the distance from the tree to other fruit crops from 3 meters or more.
The pear is a sun-loving culture and therefore the choice should fall on an area with maximum lighting.
Preparatory work
To help the roots of a young seedling absorb nutrients better, cut them a little with pruning shears.
Soak the pear roots in water for 3-4 hours. For better rooting, any of the preparations are added here: Epin Extra, Zircon, Eco-Gel. You can also powder it with Kornevin.
Having estimated the size of the pear roots, you can decide the depth of the planting pit. In most cases, it will be enough to dig a depression 50 * 50 cm. The bottom of the hole should be well loosened.
Do not allow direct contact of mineral fertilizers with young roots
Land for pears Yakovlev's favorite must be loose and fertile. If the site has heavy soil, then sand or vermiculite will come in handy.
Reviews of some gardeners say that Yakovlev's favorite pear loves iron. Therefore, rusty nails are poured at the bottom of the planting pit.

When planting a pear, the vaccination site:
Pouring earth into the pit, carefully tamp each layer in order to avoid voids and ensure full contact of the suction roots with the soil. A near-trunk circle with a side is formed on the surface of the earth.
Watering is best done with water heated in the sun.
After watering, the soil will settle and the root collar of the pear will be exposed, so add a small amount of dry soil around the tree. Be sure to tie the seedling to the peg with a figure-eight rope.
The trunk circle can be mulched with manure. Do not be afraid of burns, because a layer of earth will serve as a protection for the roots. Such mulch will prevent young roots from freezing and smooth out the difference between day and night temperatures.
If there is no manure, then cut grass and weeds will serve as an excellent substitute
The pear needs feeding
Do not feed the pear in the first year of planting. The tree should take root and develop good roots. It is recommended to treat pear seedlings with anti-stress drugs, such as: Epin Extra, EcoFus, Cytovit.
From 2-3 years old, the pear must be fertilized. It's worth starting from the time the snow melts. Nitrogen fertilizers are applied according to the dosage indicated on the package. For a 3-m pear, 5 liters of solution will be enough.
The next feeding is carried out two weeks after the first. Here the appearance of the plant is already being evaluated. If growth is poorly progressing, then there is a need for purely nitrogen fertilization. Or complex fertilizers are applied. During the season, 3-4 such procedures are worth carrying out.

The volume of water is calculated at the rate of 50 liters per 1 sq. m of the trunk circle.
