Rules of landing
Most often, seedlings are planted in spring or autumn. Amateur gardeners and professionals still prefer the spring time so that the tree has time to take root and be ready for the upcoming winter.
For the full development of a pear tree, it needs a sufficient amount of light and a spacious area without being adjacent to other trees or buildings. If it is nevertheless decided to place several trees nearby, this should be done with a sufficient interval of 3-4 meters.
Pear Tatyana does not tolerate flooding of the soil. If this fact is a constant occurrence on the site, it is worth creating a small artificial embankment, ridge or hill. Excess water from the tree can also be separated by grooves. The planting hole has an average depth of 1 meter, and the hole itself is 80 cm in diameter. For planting, fertile and less fertile soil is separated. A hill is created around the pit so that the water is properly distributed during irrigation. The soil is flavored with humus, superphosphate, potassium salts and ash. A dense hill is also created in the pit, along the slopes of which the roots are placed and sprinkled. A mandatory element is the presence of a peg for gartering a still fragile trunk. The seedling is watered and mulched.
Care instructions
Most often, one- or two-year-old seedlings are planted. After planting, they shorten the tops. If the tree is frozen, it is necessary to remove part of the formed growths. The rest will replace the affected shoot and will be able to bear fruit, but only if placed horizontally and tied to a peg. Watering for a pear is a necessary event. Top dressing should be done once every three years. It will be easy to see from the tree whether it needs nutrients – the shoots will begin to grow rather slowly. In this case, it is worth adding fertilizer. With an excess of organic matter, there will be a lot of shoots, but they will not have time to ripen by winter. Before fruiting, the soil around is dug up, watered abundantly, and weeds are regularly removed.
Collection and storage
The fruits of the tree reach maturity by the end of summer. Depending on the type of climate, this period can shift by about 15 days, in some cases by a month. Gardeners note that the variety is not prone to shedding, so the collection is done by hand. The pear must be carefully twisted along with the stalk. So that the fetus can lie quietly for the required time, it is placed in a box. Use only whole specimens without visible bumps or cracks. Pears are best shot on a cloudy and dry day. If the collection is made in a sunny and hot period, the fruits will begin to emit condensate, in which case the shelf life will noticeably decrease.
Conclusion
Pear Tatiana is a great addition to any garden. The tree is quite unpretentious in care, bears fruit annually. With this variety, you can always collect whole fruits, because they do not fall off ahead of time.
