Selecting a landing site

To plant a pear Yakovlevskaya is necessary in a well-lit place. If this condition is not met, you can get the fruits not too sweet, and the overall yield will be less.

It is important to have good drainage of the soil, the tree is harmful to the stagnation of water. To prevent it, you can put the pear on the hill. The passage of groundwater should not be closer than 2-2.5 meters.

The composition of the soil tree is not very demanding, but it grows better on sandy-chernozem, as well as loamy or sandy soil, provided fertilizers are applied. Clay lands are not suitable for wood. If there is a similar type of soil on the plot, it is necessary to prepare a planting pit by all the rules. The acidity level is 5.6-6.0.

Cultivation

When planting it is important not to slough the pear seedlings into the ground. The root neck should rise above the soil by 5 centimeters.

The roots are straightened when planted, but they are not cut in any way. You can cut only the aboveground part of the plant.

Pear Yakovlevskaya needs pollinators, because the variety is partly self-fertilizing. On a site it is necessary to plant trees of other grades with the same terms of flowering.

Planting a pear, organic or superphosphate, potassium sulfate and ammonium nitrate are introduced into the pit. With the further care of the pear, the fertilizing is carried out depending on the soil. Poor (sandy) land is fed annually, fertile soil is often not fertilized.

In the first year, almost all flowers are cut off. Further, they cut off half of the harvest during that period, while it is still green. This is done so that the remaining fruits have a larger size.

Watering the tree is carried out weekly in the bucket morning and evening. Very important watering in the period of fruiting. At that time, the buds are being laid on the tree for the next year. If there is not enough moisture, the harvest will decrease in this and next year. Watering ends in August, with the exception of dry years.

Care for the pear assumes constant mulching of the stump of the horse with horse rotted manure. Before the onset of winter, the stem is covered with a material that allows air and water to protect the tree during the winter.

As a struggle against rodents use special grids. You can also tie a barrel with capron pantyhose.

It is important to loosen and weed the stump. You can enclose it with a ribbon ribbon.

Pruning the crown helps to shape the future crop and prevent the appearance of diseases. Pear should be cut every year. Usually it is done in the early spring before the buds are dissolved. Branches that fall on the ground, must be cleaned.

Of the young branches, only the strongest ones are left, the weak ones and the curves are cut off. In total, no more than ¼ of the total volume of branches should be removed at a time. If you remove a larger volume, it will be a tremendous stress for the tree.

Crop the tree in the fall period, experts do not recommend.
