Pear is a fruit whose taste has been familiar to almost everyone since childhood. Jam or compote, freshly picked ripe pear or any other dish with it - all this gives incredible pleasure when eaten. In this article we will talk about the most delicious variety of this fruit, features of cultivation and the best recipes.
Variety breeding history
The November pear is a pear variety that ripens rather late, namely in the fall. It is worth noting that the homeland of this pear is Primorye, which is characterized by a rather harsh climate. The November pear variety is also called Winter or Autumn Moldova. This variety was bred in 1950, as a result of crossing two types of pears - the Ussuri and Winter decan. The first is famous for its endurance and unpretentiousness in leaving, and the second, originally from Belgium, has an incredible aroma and sweet taste.
Thanks to the careful work of breeders, it was possible to develop a variety that can be grown in almost any region. The author of this derivation was the famous scientist A.V. Bologyaev, who in 1958 transferred the variety of the Noyabrskaya pear to State tests. And already in 1974, this type of pear was widespread throughout the Far East.
Pear Noyabrskaya: variety description
The trees of this pear are most often quite tall, but it all depends on the region of cultivation. For example, in the birthplace of the cultivar, the trees do not differ in high height, which allows you to bend the branches to the ground for the winter and tightly wrap them from frost. The more favorable the climate, the higher and more sprawling will be the November pear tree. The description of the shoots can be described as: quite elastic, cranked and thick, greenish, and sometimes burgundy. The crown of the tree is most often rounded or pyramidal. Leaflets of saturated green color outside and slightly whitish inside. One of the main advantages of this variety is: increased resistance to both frost and the scorching sun, as well as regular fruiting. The fruits are very well preserved on the branch, even with a strong gusty wind or other situations.
Pear November: description of the fruit
In the first years after the cultivation of this variety, the size and mass of the resulting fruits were quite small - about seventy grams. But for several years after successful acclimatization in warmer regions, it became possible to obtain fruits weighing up to three hundred grams. The shape of the pear is not particularly symmetrical; there are grooves and light ribbing. The skin is quite pale green, with a slightly browned barrel, which most hit the sun.
When stored, the color of the pear becomes yellowish, and a large number of brown dots appear. The incredible sweet-sour taste of white juicy pulp will not leave indifferent any lover to feast on a pear. Obtaining the first fruits is possible already in the second or third year after planting. This variety is also popular because of its excellent ability to long-term storage: it remains perfectly stored in the refrigerator until the end of December, and in the freezer even throughout the winter.
How to choose seedlings for planting
To buy seedlings, it is better to choose a proven nursery or experienced gardeners. When choosing seedlings, focus on the state of the root system. There should not be damaged or too dry roots. Remove the leaves from the seedlings, as this will help not to dry the tree at first. It is best to purchase seedlings with a closed root system, since such plants are much easier to tolerate the planting process, which, by the way, can be carried out at any time of the year.
