Choosing a landing site

Choose places for planting where sunlight is constantly present, and the groundwater is at least 2 m near the surface of the earth, because the Vidnaya variety pear develops correctly if it receives the required amount of sunlight. Meeting the above conditions will allow you to increase fruiting and reduce the risk of root rot. Experts recommend planting a plant 3-4 m from any building.

When choosing a seedling, you need to pay attention not only to the appearance of the trunk, but also to the roots. Pay attention to the fact that the seedling should not have cracks, damaged areas or signs of disease. If you bought a seedling with an open root system, then you need to remove all the leaves from it.
Landing features
A few weeks before the intended planting, a hole should be dug into which the seedling will be planted. This procedure is carried out in advance so that the soil has time to settle and ventilate a little. Otherwise, the neck of the roots may sink a few centimeters and begin to rot. As a result, the tree will die completely.
In the future, actions are carried out according to a certain scheme.
- The depth of the pit should be at least 1 m, and its width should not be more than 80 cm.
- Fertilizing the hole. You should mix 10 liters of humus, 25 g of phosphate substance and 25 g of nitrate. The resulting mixture must be added to the hole and covered with a small amount of water. This is to prevent the rains from washing out all the nutrients.
- 24 hours before planting, you need to treat the roots with a special growth stimulant (Kornevin).
- 3 hours before planting, the roots are immersed in a mixture of clay and manure, which are diluted to the consistency of sour cream. After the specified time, the seedling is taken out and dried a little.
- Now you need to place the treated seedling in the hole and distribute the roots throughout the hole. The earth is poured evenly and compacted a little.
- A support peg is driven in next to the hole, to which a tree is tied.
- Please note that the root collar should be 4-5 cm above the ground.
- Watering is carried out in such a way that at least 30 liters of water is poured into each plant.

The first watering is carried out at the time of flower formation, the second - after the ovary, the third - a few weeks before the fruit ripens.
- Top dressing should be done 2 years after planting. The first feeding is carried out before the formation of buds. It should be carried out with nitrogen fertilizers (20 g of carbamide and 200 g of ammonium nitrate per 5 liters of warm water). The second feeding is carried out 30 days after the previous one. It involves the use of drugs such as Rainbow or Luxury Ideal. The third dressing is done after the crop has been harvested. At this point, it is advisable to use dolomite flour (there are 300 g of substance per tree) or 50 g of ordinary superphosphate.
- Pruning involves removing any damaged, infected or dry areas every spring, as they take most of the nutrients from healthy branches.
