Features of the variety Daughter Excellent
Fruits are medium-sized, weighing 170-200 g, wide, with a clean shiny surface. The taste of the fruit is gentle, sweet and sour. The Veles pear color is yellowish, with a delicate blush.
Variety advantages:
- frost resistance - the tree tolerates winters in the Moscow region well;
- stable harvest;
- good fruit preservation.
Late fruiting is considered a disadvantage - 6-7 years after planting. The more the pear has tied the crop, the less fruit will be in weight.
The Veles pear variety is resistant to fungal diseases. The tree is partially self-fertile. But this ability is poorly expressed. Therefore, for a good yield, you need to plant at least one Severyanka pear tree in the neighborhood, Chizhovskaya... These varieties are also tolerant to diseases and are pollinators for the Veles pear. The variety ripens closer to autumn. You can determine that it is time for the pear to be on the table by its yellow skin and softness. For storage, slightly unripe fruits are removed.
Fruit tree agricultural technology
The health and fruiting of an adult tree depends on the correct planting of the Veles pear and the care of the seedling. Therefore, each stage must fulfill its own tasks:
- choice of location, seedling and planting;
- pear breeding methods;
- watering and feeding regime;
- prevention against pests and diseases;
- autumn work on preparing the tree for winter;
- spring awakening.
The place for the pear is chosen sunny, with protection from the north wind. The groundwater should be deep, below 2 meters. The landing pit is prepared in advance. The fertile layer is removed and set aside. The depth of the pit should be 1 m. The bottom layer is laid with drainage and a layer of sand, then a mound is created from fertile fertilized soil and a root system is placed on it, a stabilizing stake is inserted.
Two-year-old seedlings should have an even trunk, a small number of branches. The root system should be well developed, about 25 cm long. You can plant a Veles pear in spring and autumn.
When planted in spring, the trees will get stronger and leave in the winter grown up, with an established root system.
The pear is propagated by Daughter Excellent layering and cuttings. For grafting, take a two-year branch in winter, break it into cuttings of 15-20 cm, and fix it in this state. Cut into pieces and put the roots in a dark plastic bottle in the spring in melt water using activated carbon. The cuttings are planted in a nursery and grown until autumn. The cuttings cannot be bent to the ground, so the box in which the roots germinate is arranged on a branch, on which cuts are made to the cambium. A branch with roots is separated from the skeletal branch only after 2 years.
In the first year after the rooting of the tree, crown formation begins. At the same time, special attention is paid to the prevention of thickening, which will lead to diseases.
Watering a young seedling is the most important part of seedling care. Newbirds need 2 buckets of water in the trunk circle 3 times a week. Mature fruit trees are watered every week in the morning or evening. Watering can be organized by sprinkling or a watering can along the grooves or in the near-stem circle. The blotting depth should be 15 cm.
Fertilizing the tree with organic and mineral fertilizers during the season is important. In the first half of summer and spring, nitrogen and organic fertilizers are used. Mineral and organic dressings alternate. Before flowering, give urea or saltpeter. After flowering, organic matter is insisted and introduced into wet watered ground. In the fall, they give potassium-phosphorus fertilizers that increase winter hardiness.
Formative pruning is carried out on seedlings, sanitary and regulatory - on fruit trees.
If done correctly, the tree will endow the gardener with delicious ruddy fruits.
