Landing rules
A properly planted pear will yield a good harvest.
- There must be the correct footprint. Lighted areas that are located on hills are best suited for pears. Do not allow the roots to be close to groundwater, otherwise there is a risk of root rot. Care must be taken that there are no barriers or buildings nearby, because the shadow can cause damage to the crop.
- Choose only good quality 2 year old seedlings. They are more resistant to changes in weather conditions and the occurrence of diseases.
In March, 2 weeks before the upcoming planting, you need to dig a hole, measuring 40x60 cm. Humus is poured into it (about 5 kg). This is necessary to nourish the earth with useful trace elements. At the specified time, you need to take a seedling and carefully place it in the hole. The root collar should be 5-7 cm above the ground.
The roots are evenly distributed throughout the pit, sprinkled with earth and carefully tamped. After that, a metal rod is added, up to 50 cm long, to which the seedling is tied. This will allow it to resist and not deform in windy weather. If desired, you can mulch the soil with straw and humus, which are mixed in a 1: 2 ratio. The planting scheme should be such that no more than 3 plants are located per 1 m2.
Plant care
Pear of the Holiday variety does not need special care. It is only important to follow the standard recommendations that apply to most pear crops. Water the trees at intervals of 1-1.5 weeks. At least 20 liters of warm water are poured under each bush.Watering is carried out early in the morning so that the sun's rays do not evaporate moisture from the ground. After 3 days, you can loosen the soil to a depth of 10-12 cm and remove weeds. These actions are necessary to protect the plant from pests and root rot.
The trees should be fed 2 times during the entire growing season. The first fertilization is carried out in April, 10-14 days before flowering. At this point, 50 g of potassium nitrate should be diluted in 10 liters of warm water and 7 liters of the drug should be poured under the plant. The second feeding, which involves the use of phosphorus components (30 g of superphosphate per 10 liters of water), is carried out in August. 10 liters of the drug are poured under each tree.
Cut off damaged and diseased branches annually at the beginning of March. After harvesting, to prepare for winter, crown thinning is carried out. This will increase the harvest for the next year.
Diseases and pests
Despite the fact that the variety is resistant to scab and powdery mildew, it can be subject to bacteriosis and root rot. You can get rid of bacteriosis by spraying with a manganese solution (3 mg per 10 liters of water). It is impossible to get rid of root rot, so for prevention, follow the rules of care.
Of the pests, aphids and moths should be distinguished. Aphids should be fought by spraying with Oxychom (50 mg per 10 liters of water), but Bordeaux liquid (2 mg per 10 liters of water), which is sprayed, is an effective remedy against the moth.
Conclusion
A festive pear is considered an excellent option for a home garden. If you grow it, following all the rules, you will be able to get a high-quality harvest every year.
