Return frosts are the most terrible misfortune that can await gardeners who carry out their “activities” in the conditions of the middle zone.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, if they catch the plants during the period of active flowering, there will be no harvest.
This is the main reason why it is worth paying significant attention to the selection of varieties in order to choose from the existing variety those that can survive in the most difficult conditions.
Today we suggest talking about pears: here are several varieties that are not afraid of bad weather.
Elena
This variety is winter - you can send the ripe harvest for storage, and it will easily "last" until the New Year. Elena's fruits are yellow with a beautiful blush, which is formed as a result of sunlight hitting them. The pears taste sweet.
Wonder Woman
This late variety has oblong-shaped fruits that turn yellow-red with white flesh as they ripen. Sweetness dominates the taste of the pears. If you are growing pears for storage, pick them unripe.
Yakovlevskaya
Yakovlevskaya fruits ripen almost the last. Be prepared that you will pick them from the tree hard, so they can be easily stored until spring and even longer. The taste of pears is well balanced.
Pervomayskaya
Small pears of the Pervomayskaya variety have creamy and juicy pulp, and the taste is sweet and sour, in which there are notes of peach or pineapple. From a young age of 10 years, you can get up to 70 kg of harvest.
Belarusian late
If you notice a coating on the round fruits of this variety, don't worry, this is its peculiarity, not a disease. The tender juicy pulp of the fruit is hidden under a fairly dense skin, so the pears crunch pleasantly and leave behind a honey aftertaste. You can wait a little while until the fruits ripen and enjoy their soft pulp.
