Pear Immune
Content:
In the North Caucasus Scientific Research Institute of Mining and Piedmont Agriculture, a group of scientists created a winter pear variety Immunnaya, or as it is also called "Fevralskaya". The starting material was "Winter Dekanka", which was pollinated by mixing the pollen of two other varieties - "Josephine Mechelnaya" and "Bere Ardanpon". The result is a high-yielding variety recommended by experts for cultivation in Stavropol, Alania and on the territory of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic - Immunnaya pear.
Pear Immune: variety description and characteristics
While the Immunnaya pear tree is still young, its crown has a rather narrow conical shape, but as it grows, the shape of the crown changes and takes the form of an inverted pyramid. Strong branches that make up the "skeleton" of a pear are very densely located. The color of the bark of young shoots is yellow-olive, but they darken with age. Smooth oval leaves are colored light green, the front surface of the leaf plate is matte, the edge is finely serrated. The petioles are of medium length, but the stipules are rather large compared to other varieties of pears.
The tree begins to bear fruit in the sixth or seventh year. Fruit colored yellow should be harvested towards the end of September, without waiting for their full ripeness. It is in the assembled form at an air temperature slightly above 0 that they ripen and acquire the best juiciness and taste by the beginning of December. Thus, it turns out that by growing the "Immune" pear all winter you will be provided with fresh and delicious fruits.
Slightly ribbed fruits of medium-large size, rounded "wide pear-shaped", symmetrical. Smooth skin acquires some shine during storage. Light yellow fruits are attached to a straight stalk,
The light pulp of the Immunnaya pear variety has a yellowish tint and a sweet and sour taste. The content of sugars in oily and tender pulp is more than 11%.
As we have already said, mainly fruits are intended for fresh consumption in the winter months, when the body is deficient in vitamins, but they can also be used to prepare a variety of desserts, compotes, juices and much more.

- First of all - the winter ripening period, since thanks to this it is possible to consume fresh vitamin fruits.

To be objective, you need to pay attention to the disadvantages of the Immune Pear, although after listing the advantages, the disadvantages do not seem so serious:
In a particularly fruitful year, when the tree is heavily loaded with fruits, some branches may break under the weight of the fruit, and the fruits themselves grow quite small. To avoid this, it is necessary to remove part of the ovaries in a timely manner and install supports that will support the overloaded branches of the tree.
