Pear Emerald

Emerald Pear — a late-winter variety bred in Crimea, characterized by a medium-sized tree with a pyramidal, compact crown. This variety is not demanding regarding soil type, preferring warm, well-lit southern plots, which promotes full ripening and the formation of high-quality fruits. The tree is resistant to scab and other diseases, withstands frosts and heat well, and demonstrates high winter hardiness and stable fruiting from the onset of fruiting 4-5 years after planting. The variety is prone to self-fertility and is characterized by high yield and quick fruiting. Emerald Pear fruits are large, weighing from 250 to 420 grams, have a barrel shape and green-yellow color with a characteristic blush. The fruit skin is shiny, giving them an attractive appearance. The flesh is white, dense, juicy, and melting in the mouth, with a high-quality sweet-and-sour taste, rated at 4.75-5.0 points. The fruits have excellent storability and transportability, making them convenient for storage and transport. After harvesting from the tree, pears require ripening at room temperature for 10-15 days to achieve optimal taste. For successful cultivation of the variety, it is recommended to choose wind-protected, well-warmed locations. Emerald Pear is grafted on a medium-sized quince rootstock, which contributes to its stability and productivity. The variety is characterized by high marketability of fruits and resistance to unfavorable conditions, making it attractive to gardeners seeking stable and high-quality yields.
