Description and formation of the autumn pear variety Guidon

Where to buy high-quality pear seedlings that will take root in the Urals?

Experienced gardeners know that varieties of fruit trees must be selected based on climatic conditions and the area in which they will be grown. For the Ural region, it is worth paying special attention to seedlings with high winter hardiness and accelerated ripening of fruits. After all, we have warm summer days quickly turn into rainy and cold autumn, and then into a long frosty winter. A pear tree with bright and tasty fruits is the cherished dream of many gardeners.
The climatic conditions of the Urals and Siberia are far from ideal for the cultivation of many fruit trees, including pears. However, gardeners have learned to get very good yields of this crop thanks to the correct selection of varieties and strict adherence to the cultivation technology. Experimental stations Sverdlovskaya, Chelyabinskaya and Krasnoyarskaya were engaged in work on the development of varieties of pears adapted to frost. But recently, gardeners are paying attention not only to zoned varieties, but also to new breeding achievements that guarantee a high, and most importantly high-quality and stable pear harvest in cold regions.

for the Urals and Siberia

The climatic conditions of the Urals and Siberia are far from ideal for the cultivation of many fruit trees, including pears. However, gardeners have learned to get very good yields of this crop thanks to the correct selection of varieties and strict adherence to the cultivation technology. Experimental stations Sverdlovskaya, Chelyabinskaya and Krasnoyarskaya were engaged in work on the development of varieties of pears adapted to frost. But recently, gardeners are paying attention not only to zoned varieties, but also to new breeding achievements that guarantee a high, and most importantly high-quality and stable pear harvest in cold regions.
The peculiarity of the pear is its low winter hardiness at a young age, therefore, to protect against frost in the early years, it is useful to bury the tree for the winter. With the onset of fruiting, winter hardiness increases sharply. All varieties we offer can withstand temperatures down to minus 40-45 ° C. It is very important to correctly determine the time of picking pear fruits. Summer and early autumn varieties should be removed as they ripen with the onset of yellowing of the skin color. Autumn and winter ones are harvested in the second or third decade of September, before the onset of frost at night below minus -3 ° С, otherwise the pears freeze and cannot be stored for a long time.

Gardeners reviews

Elvir, (Sverdlovsk)

I have been gardening for a very long time and various varieties of fruit trees grow on my site.Several winters stood out with severe frosts and some of the young trees froze very strongly, however, this does not apply to Guidon. Despite the fact that the variety is considered moderately cold-resistant, it practically did not suffer. Compared to Krasulia, Guidon is more resistant to cold weather. I still have nothing to say about the quality of the fruits, the tree is very young and the first harvest has yet to wait. The only thing I can add frost was more than -30 degrees.

Natalia, (Volchansk)

She planted the Guidon variety on the advice of her friends, and she bought a seedling from them. Timely pruning together with the formation of the crown made it possible to get the first crop much earlier than planned. I was very pleased with the number of pears and their taste. Guidon is good for everyone, except for the preservation of these very fruits. They lie for about a week, and then they just fall into disrepair. They tried so many things, they even put pears in the cold, but there was no result. If we remove this defect, then the variety fully meets all expectations.

IrinaA, middle Ural

My husband is a lover of pears, they planted as many as four. One, she is four years old, variety Guidon, had one pear. They didn’t let her ripen on a tree; in the dark they knocked her down with a cart, she hung low. Of course it was tough and green. I lay down for a couple of days and became quite edible. For the Urals, quite even nothing! So we will wait for a harvest of some kind next year.

Usov Sergey Yurievich, Yekaterinburg

I have been vaccinating and selling the Guidon pear for a long time. Here I am reading an article by Bogdanova (Director of the CCCC): This year we may be selling a novelty pear "Guidon". What a novelty it is if the sellers of seedlings have it on sale for a long time. This is always the case. You try to work honestly - they don't believe, they approach a crook who has no signboards, no who he is, no where - trust is over the edge.

Despite its originality, the cultivation of Guidon fully justifies itself. The tree is ideally suited for its characteristics for regions with climatic conditions far from ideal.

Growing features

In order to successfully grow the wonderful Guidon pear variety on the site, it is important to know the rules of planting and cultivation. For seedlings, choose a spacious and well-lit place with drained soil. Nutrient soil is placed in the hole along with humus and ash. The seedling is installed so that the grafting site is 5 cm above the soil level. After disembarkation, the earth is carefully tamped. The top should be cut off, leaving no more than 90 cm. Further, watering is carried out.

There is nothing difficult in caring for a young tree either. The culture is fast-growing, therefore it requires abundant watering. Water consumption for one adult tree is 10-15 buckets. It is forbidden to spray the crown by sprinkling. It will be correct to water the ground in the trunk circle from a garden hose.

Watering frequency depends on weather conditions.

In the spring, the procedure is not carried out, and in dry summer it will be necessary to water the tree several times. If there is no rain, watering is carried out during the formation of the fruit. Autumn watering after harvesting will allow not only to plant a new crop, but also to protect the pear from frost.

If, when examining the tree, pale and sparse leaves are found, and the shoots are thin and elongated, you need to fertilize with nitrogen. Urea has proven itself well - it is applied in spring and autumn. An infusion of mullein is also suitable. When the tree is in bloom and the fruits are poured, mineral fertilizers are needed to improve their taste.

You can use a solution of wood ash or phosphorus-potassium complexes with the addition of other types of trace elements. Although the culture has strong immunity to viruses and pests, prevention will not hurt. Both Bordeaux liquid and insecticides are used. The latter are also used to combat diseases and insects that have appeared on the pear.

Weak and damaged shoots are subject to mandatory removal.
