Pear BAY 6474

German Breeding for Ukrainian Orchards

The pear variety "BEI 6474" is a product of the breeding program led by the renowned German breeder Michael Neumuller. Officially registered in Ukraine in 2026, this variety is specifically adapted for cultivation in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe climatic zones, offering high potential for commercial fruit production.

Morphological Characteristics

The tree exhibits moderate vigor and a straight growth habit, which simplifies orchard management and pruning processes. Weak branching and short internodes on one-year-old shoots contribute to a compact tree structure. A key feature of this variety is the distribution of flower buds, which are primarily located on long shoots, requiring precise pruning techniques to maintain consistent yields.

Adaptation and Usage

Classified as an autumn-ripening variety, "BEI 6474" is intended primarily for the fresh market. The variety shows excellent adaptation to Ukrainian climatic conditions. The medium-sized, horizontally positioned leaves ensure efficient photosynthesis, while the specific flower structure, characterized by a short style, serves as a key identification trait according to UPOV standards.
