Pear Muratovskaya

Pear Muratovskaya was bred in the Oryol region at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute for the Breeding of Fruit Crops in 1975. A team of scientists-breeders consisting of E.N.Sedov, A.G. Kuznetsova and N.G. Krasova crossed Yakovlev's seedling with the seedling of the Ussuri pear and "Forest Beauty", and then with "Favorite Klappa" and with "Williams". The resulting pear turned out to be so good that it quickly became popular not only among summer residents, but also among farm owners. Muratovskaya pear is zoned for the Central Black Earth Region.

Muratovskaya pear is undemanding to the composition of the soil, but the best result can be achieved on well-drained, fertile soils (light loam or black soil). The tree does not tolerate strong moisture and moisture stagnation.

Pear Muratovskaya is a medium-sized variety, bent compactly located branches are located at an acute angle relative to the trunk and form a medium-leafed crown, shaped like a cone with a wide base. The color of the bark on the trunk and the main "skeletal" branches is gray, its surface is smooth. Shoots are colored brown, the number of small gray lenticels is small, smooth buds of a rather large size have a pointed cone-shaped shape.

Medium-sized leaves have an oval-pointed shape, their surface is smooth and shiny, without drooping, slightly bent along the midline. The surface of the leaf plate is rich green, and the small-town edges are pinkish.

You can harvest the first harvest no earlier than in the sixth year (in rare cases, in the fifth).

• Description of the fruits.

Fruits have a classic regular "pear-shaped" shape, their weight is from 120 to 140 grams. Smooth and delicate skin in a state of technical ripeness is colored green-yellow, but when ripe, the green disappears and the color changes to golden. In this case, the fruits are partially covered with a reddish "blush".

The pulp of the Muratovskaya pear variety is white or pale yellow in color, their consistency is oily, dense, but very tender.
The fruits are extremely juicy and have a light pleasant aroma. Tasters rate these fruits at 4.3 points on a five-point scale, with a higher appearance of 4.5 points.

Depending on weather conditions, harvesting is carried out at the end of summer or in the first decade of September. When harvesting, try to remove the fruit from the tree along with the stalk, this will increase their shelf life. The fruits of "Muratovskaya" pear are stored for about two months (in a cool, dark place with good ventilation).

From a culinary point of view, Muratov pears are universal; they can be used for making drinks, sweet preparations for the winter, and also for various desserts ..
