The 'Banane' pear variety is a medium-sized tree with drooping, loose crowns, reaching a height of up to 5 meters. The leaves are elongated, green, and smooth, while the shoots are curved, round, and brown. This variety is distinguished by its high winter hardiness and drought resistance, as well as high resistance to diseases and pests, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions.
The fruits of the 'Banane' pear have a pear shape and medium size, usually weighing from 150 to 250 grams. Their coloration is greenish with a brownish-red blush, while the flesh is creamy, crunchy, juicy, and oily. The taste of the fruits is mildly sweet with a pronounced aroma, which gives them special appeal to consumers. Maturation periods fall in summer, with consumer readiness from the second decade of August, and harvest continues until mid-October. Fruits can be stored in fresh form for two to two and a half months.
The 'Banane' variety has high yield, reaching 25-30 tons per hectare. It is partially self-fruitful, but to increase yield, it is recommended to use pollinator varieties such as 'Permyachka' and 'Severyanka'. For successful cultivation, proper selection of seedlings, planting location and timing, as well as regular care, including fertilization, irrigation, pruning, and protection from pests and diseases are important.
