The best varieties of dwarf pears that every Summer resident should have
If your summer cottage has little space for tall fruit trees, you can choose dwarf plant varieties. These trees are famous for their productivity, good fruit taste.
The best option would be to plant dwarf pears. When choosing a variety, it is necessary that the plant has resistance:
- to frost;
- to strong gusts of wind;
- dry weather;
- to various diseases.
Based on our own experience, it is necessary to plant pears so that they ripen at different times. Plant several summer, autumn and always more winter varieties to enjoy the taste and benefits of fresh stocks throughout the winter.
In my opinion, the best dwarf pears that every gardener should have are:
- Carmen - a summer variety with a bright burgundy color of fruits. One fruit can weigh up to 300 g. This species is grown by breeding Williams red pears with Daughter Blankova. All in all, a delicious and sweet fruit. Scab resistant, relatively frost and drought resistant. The plant bears fruit from the fifth year of life.
- Rossoshanskaya beautiful - late summer pear, resistant to disease and cold, but requires systematic watering. Mature plants reach a height of 2.5 meters and begin bearing fruit after 3-4 years. White-yellow fruits with red sides weigh an average of 100 g and ripen by September. They have a sweet and sour taste.
- Veles - autumn frost-resistant pear. The variety is bred from two pears - Venus and Forest Beauty. The fruits, which have a yellow-green surface and a red side, weigh about 170 g. Ripe pulp is tender and oily, with a sweet and sour aftertaste. It can grow up to 3 meters. Expect the first fruits for 5 years.
- Grand Champion - winter undersized variety, bred by American breeders. The tree grows up to 2.5 meters and begins to bear fruit after 3 years. Rounded, golden-green fruits ripen at the end of September and weigh up to 250 g. Lovers appreciate the fruit for its sweetness, juiciness and light sourness. A pear can be stored for 3-4 months.
- Patriotic - winter early-growing variety, from which you can get a high yield. An adult plant is resistant to frost and pests, can reach a height of up to 3 meters. Ripe fruits can be tasted in mid-October, they are yellow-green in color and blush. Sweet and sour, tasty pear weighing about 200 g, which retains its qualities for 5 months!
The varieties of pears I have given are unpretentious and compact. Their taste is not inferior to tall crops. The choice of dwarf plants will allow you to grow natural, tasty fruits in a small, cozy area.
