Planting pear Larinskaya
It is necessary to plant the plant in early March. You need to decide on the right place to land. Plant the crop only in well-lit areas that are not near fences or buildings. Otherwise, the crown of the tree will not be sufficiently developed, which will negatively affect the final yield. The soil should be fertile, with a low acid-base balance (no more than 4%). The seedling must be at least 2 years old. It is believed that such planting material is more resistant to negative environmental factors and will allow you to get better yields. Make sure that the seedlings are free of damage or disease, otherwise the plant may die.
Literally 14 days before planting, you need to dig a hole and pour 1 bucket of humus or compost into it. This will allow the soil to be saturated with beneficial ingredients. As soon as the planting day comes, you need to put the seedling in the hole so that the root collar is above the ground (literally 4-6 cm). The roots are carefully distributed throughout the pit, covered with earth, and the soil is compacted. You need to drive in a metal peg next to it to tie up the bush, otherwise it may deform in strong winds. Usually, no more than 2 plants are planted per 1 square meter due to their large crown.
Plant care

Watering is carried out early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid moisture evaporation. After watering, it is advisable to loosen the soil to a depth of 10 cm.

Fertilizers are applied as the plant develops. The first feeding using superphosphate (30 g per 10 l of water) is carried out 1 month before flowering. 5 liters of the drug are poured under the plant. With the beginning of fruiting, you need to dilute 50 g of potassium nitrate in 10 liters of water and pour 5 liters under each bush.
