Vitchizniana pear is a winter domestic variety bred at the Crimean Fruit Growing Research Center. The tree is of medium height, reaching 1.5–2 meters, and is distinguished by high resistance to scab and thermal leaf burn, as well as sufficient winter hardiness. The variety is partially self-fertile and is characterized by high yield, making it attractive for cultivation in various climatic conditions. Fruiting begins 4-5 years after planting.
The fruits are large, uniform, weighing from 200 to 600 grams, pear-shaped or short-pear-shaped. The skin is thin, greenish-yellow, covered with small subcutaneous dots and characteristic rusty spots. The flesh is creamy, very juicy and oily, with a sour-sweet taste and a rose aroma, giving the fruits an exquisite bouquet. The taste rating is 4.7–4.8 points. Market maturity occurs in early October, allowing the use of fruits during the autumn-winter period.
Vitchizniana pears have high transportability and are resistant to disease damage during storage, ensuring their preservation and quality during long-term storage. The main purpose of the fruits is fresh consumption, which allows them to retain their taste and aromatic qualities throughout the season. This variety is ideal for those who appreciate the combination of high quality, resilience, and excellent taste.
