About history
Cosmic pear was bred by Russian scientist breeders at the Michurin Research Institute. In order to get this wonderful hybrid, breeders crossed two types of pears in order to regionalize a new hybrid, which is why these plants can be planted in many regions of our country. And in order for the trees to develop well in the harsh Russian climate, the main emphasis was placed on the frost resistance of the crop and on high yields. According to many other scientists, the variety turned out to be quite successful. That is why the Cosmic pear variety was later used by other breeders to develop other varieties of pears, for example, the well-known Permyachka.

Trees usually begin to bear fruit from the age of five, the yield is always high and stable. As they mature, fruiting becomes periodic. The Cosmic pear adapts well to the surrounding conditions, since the selection was aimed at spreading this pear in middle latitudes, where winters are always harsh and long. As you understand, this culture has good frost resistance, even during severe frosts, the bark on the stem of the plant does not freeze. And with all this, the pear's yield is consistently high, if you take proper care of the plant, then from one tree you can collect, just imagine, more than 150 kg of ripe and aromatic fruits. However, some gardeners, by reducing the fruit load, even increased the weight of the fruit, as you understand, the law of conservation of energy operates here: either large-fruited or high yield. But even in this case, you will collect a lot of delicious fruits, more than 400 centners of aromatic pears are harvested on an industrial scale from one hectare of land.

It is best to plant the plants in the spring. However, this can also be done in the fall. But it is advisable to leave the plant at least 1 month for rooting, so make sure that there is a lot of time left before the first stable frosts appear. It is better to plant trees in a well-lit place, make sure that groundwater does not run close to the surface of the earth. The growing area for pears of this class must be dry. Plants also do not like drafts. It is best to immediately find the right place, since this culture does not tolerate transplants well. It is not recommended to plant these plants in lowlands, as moisture usually accumulates there. In wetlands, pears often freeze and die in winter. If we talk about the composition of the soil, then pay attention to loamy soils, it is there that the plants feel good. If you have a dense and heavy soil in your area, then add compost, peat, coarse sand to the soil. But to the sandy soil it is better to add humus, peat and compost. It is recommended to dig the planting hole in advance, it should be at least a meter deep, and about 80 cm in diameter. 2 days before planting the seedlings in open ground, it is recommended to pour two buckets of water into the planting hole so that the soil is saturated with moisture. If the groundwater at the site is close to the surface, then dig in the drainage grooves. But it is still better to plant plants on any higher elevations. Before planting a seedling, it is necessary to mix the soil in the pit with sand, humus, superphosphate, potassium sulfate. However, do not forget about dosages, do not overdo it with fertilizers. The seedling must be placed in the center of the pit, the roots should be well spread and covered with nutritious soil. The soil is carefully tamped with feet, and the near-trunk circle is watered and mulched with a layer of peat or humus.Sometimes gardeners plant vegetables such as radishes, peas and others in the aisles. They cover the soil and enrich the soil with nutrients. However, plants with high shoots are not recommended to be planted. The fact is that they will take away not only moisture from the pear, but also useful substances. Do not forget to plant some other pear variety next to the Space Pear so that they are mutually pollinated. This is necessary because the Space Pear, unfortunately, is considered self-fertile. It is not difficult to care for this crop, it is enough to water, feed, cut and process the plants in a timely manner. In early spring, do not forget to remove all old and diseased shoots, and shorten the crown, and during this period it is recommended to spray trees from diseases and pests, and before the buds begin to bloom. In May, you can add some organic matter to the soil, for example, urea. In summer, it is best not to fertilize the soil; during this period of time, the trees only need to be watered. In the fall, fertilizers such as compost and mineral dressing are applied to the soil. This is usually enough for the pear to develop well.
Pests and diseases
In fact, the Cosmic pear variety is quite stable, so the culture does not often get sick. However, sometimes plants get bacterial burns, get sick with rust, suffer from an invasion of pests, so you need to remember to treat the tree with appropriate preparations. If you take proper care of the plant, then fresh and aromatic pears will become a real decoration of your family table.
