Growing rules
Planting is carried out in early spring. The Treasure variety needs a lot of light, so for planting a seedling, you need to choose well-lit areas, without barriers or structures. The ideal soil that will increase yields is black soil or loamy soil. It is important that such a soil does not contain a large amount of alkali or acid (no more than 4%). Otherwise, when digging a site, you need to add 2 kg of lime for every 1 m2 of garden.
This pear variety is not self-fertile, therefore, to increase yields, you should plant Pet Clappa, Williams or Conference nearby.
You need to dig a small hole: 50 by 80 cm. Nutrient solutions are poured inside (20 mg of superphosphate or 30 g of potassium nitrate per 10 liters of water). After 14 days, the seedling can be planted. To do this, the roots are evenly distributed over the entire section of the hole and densely covered with earth. After that, pour 20 liters of warm water over the soil. Immediately after planting, you need to drive a metal rod next to it, which will become a support for the seedling.
Care advice
Pear is not picky
This variety needs standard care:
- Watering should be adjusted. It should be carried out every 1.5-2 weeks. At this point, 10-15 liters of warm water should be poured under each bush. It is best to irrigate the crop in the morning or evening so that the sun's rays do not evaporate moisture from the soil.
- Weed out the area and loosen the topsoil to remove the crust.
- Top dressing should be carried out for 2 years after planting in a permanent place. In the spring, at the end of March, a solution of phosphorus compounds (50 g of superphosphate per 10 l of water) should be added to the soil. With the onset of fruiting, a solution of ammonium nitrate is introduced (20 g per 10 l of water).In autumn, after harvesting, a dense layer of humus should be laid around the main tree trunk, which will protect the plant from frost.
- You need to prune branches in spring and autumn. In the spring, damaged and diseased branches are removed, which absorb many useful substances, due to which minimal fruiting occurs. In the fall, it is important to thin out the crown so that in the spring food flows into the inflorescences.
Pests and diseases
The description indicates that the Treasure pear species has an excellent immune system. The tree of this variety is not affected by powdery mildew, bacteriosis and fruit rot. The fruits are not affected by scab and moth.
