Platonivska

The Platonivska pear variety is a late-ripening type characterized by a vigorous tree with a pyramidal crown, reaching a height of 2.5–3 meters. Fruit-bearing begins on the 4th–5th year after planting. The tree exhibits high winter hardiness and resistance to scab, making this variety reliable for cultivation under various climatic conditions.

The fruits of this variety have a broad pear shape, weighing 150–190 grams, and on young trees can reach 220–240 grams. The skin is dry, greenish with a golden-yellow hue when ripe, and has a diffuse blush on the sun-exposed side. The flesh is white, very juicy, oily, sweet, with a pleasant duchess flavor, ensuring excellent taste qualities.

Harvesting occurs in the second half of September, while consumer ripeness lasts from late October to early November. The fruits store well in the refrigerator until the end of December, retaining their flavor. Due to these characteristics, the Platonivska variety is an excellent choice for those who value high quality and long-term storage of pears.
