Two-year-old seedlings adapt best. They must not be cracked, moldy or otherwise defective. If the roots are slightly overdried, then the planting material is lowered for four hours in clean water.

Pear Allegro: variety care

• Watering and fertilizing.

It is enough to add watering before the tree blooms and after it has faded. Two buckets of water are poured out under the tree. The stagnant liquid is detrimental to the pear. In this regard, after rain or watering, the soil is loosened.

Top dressing is applied two to three times a year. Before the buds bloom, a solution of urea or mullein is applied. These are nitrogen-containing fertilizers that provide intensive growth of branches. After the tree has bloomed, a solution of nitroammofoska is prepared in a ratio of 1:20. When the fruit ripens, phosphorus and potassium are added.

• Circumcision procedure.

Pruning of the Allegro pear variety is made to give the crown a pyramid shape. Broken, frozen and diseased shoots are removed every year. The plant is pruned when the movement of the juice is slow.

• Whitewash.

• How to prepare a pear for wintering.

The Allegro pear variety is frost-resistant. When the varieties were tested, temperature conditions dropped to minus thirty-eight degrees. Annual shoots froze, if expressed in points, then by one and a half points. In the spring season, the variety can perfectly withstand temperature extremes and cold snaps.

Wintering is dependent on the weather during the period. If it is cold in summer and it rains, then the plant will not have time to prepare for the cold season. As a result, freezing of one-year and two-year shoots occurs.

They begin to prepare pears for wintering late in the fall. Abundant watering of the culture is carried out. Slow freezing of wet soil occurs, it rises as a protective barrier from cold weather. The trunk is earthed up, the near-trunk circle is mulched with humus or peat.

To avoid damage to the trunk by rodents, make protection with a metal mesh or casing.
