Planting pear Pervomaiskaya
It is not difficult to grow a culture of this variety. Planting is carried out in the spring, at the beginning of March. First you need to decide on the right place to land. Well-lit areas that are free of barriers or building buildings are best suited for this purpose. It is important that the plant is not obscured by buildings. The soil should be fertile, with a low alkali content in its composition (no more than 5%).
Pears grow on a tall tree
You should choose high-quality planting material. When choosing a seedling, only those that have reached the age of 2 should be chosen. They are more resistant to disease and weather changes. It is necessary to visually inspect the seedling so that there are no damaged areas or diseases on it. The root should be 20-25 cm long.
You should dig a hole in advance, measuring 40x70 cm. 1 bucket of compost is poured into it in order to saturate the earth with useful microelements. Planting can be carried out after 2 weeks. To do this, a seedling is placed in the hole, evenly distributing its roots over the entire area of the hole. The soil should be poured carefully so that all the roots are covered. After filling the hole, the soil must be thoroughly tamped. It is recommended to nail a metal peg, which acts as a support for the seedling. Stick to the correct planting pattern. It is recommended to plant no more than 3 plants per m2.
Crop care recommendations
May Day pear needs watering, top dressing, loosening the soil and pruning the crown. You need to trim the crown twice a year.The first pruning is carried out in early March, during which all damaged and diseased branches are removed, and in the fall the crown is thinned out and the height of the tree is slightly removed.
Top dressing is carried out 2 times, during the entire growing season. The first fertilization is carried out with the beginning of flowering of the tree. At this point, mix 20-30 g of potassium nitrate in 10 liters of water and pour about 4 liters under the plant. The second feeding, using superphosphate, is carried out at the time of fruiting. It is necessary to mix 40 g of the preparation in 10 liters of water and pour about 8 liters of the solution under the tree.
Watering is carried out early in the morning and only with warm water. This condition must be met for better adhesion of the roots to the soil and reducing the likelihood of moisture evaporation under the influence of the sun. Water the plant no more often than once every 1.5-2 weeks. At this moment, 20 liters of water are poured under each plant. After irrigation, after 3-4 days, you need to loosen the soil to a depth of 10 cm and remove all weeds.
