The fruits of the Tatiana pear variety begin to ripen in early autumn, closer to mid-September. This variety was included in the State Register for the North Caucasus region. The plant has a fast growth rate and a round crown. This tree bears fruit constantly and has a high level of immunity to diseases. Tatiana pear varieties can be classified as high-yielding varieties. Subspecies such as Lada, Dekabrinka, Hera, Faithful, Children's. Today, the Tatyana pear variety is quite common and popular in the north of the Rostov region, and also in the south of the Voronezh region, mainly due to the fact that the variety has excellent dessert taste characteristics, regular abundant yield and, importantly, an excellent level of frost resistance (withstands cold up to 32 degrees) and high immunity to scab disease. Thanks to these qualities, Tatyana's pear gained quite a lot of popularity and fame, thereby greatly increasing the place of its growth.

Pear Tatiana is a hybrid variety obtained as a result of breeding Bere Zimnyaya Michurina and Clapp's Favorite, and a plant appeared at the Rossoshanskaya zonal experimental station, quite famous for its works, so beloved by farmers, for example, Rossoshanskaya, Dessertnaya Rossoshanskaya and Rossoshanskaya Beautiful.

The fruits of the Tatiana pear variety, when ripe, have a fairly large size, one fruit can reach a weight of 250 grams. They are endowed with a pear-shaped and yellow skin, with a vague blush of a crimson hue. Also, the fruits are distinguished by excellent taste, juicy and tender, creamy inner part, sweet enough to taste. When tasting the fruit, the variety received a rating of 4.5 points. The tree itself has a great growth force, has a slender pyramidal shape, which changes with age to a large and round one. The flowering period for the Tatyana pear variety begins a little later than most other subspecies, at this moment the tree has large enough inflorescences, a pinkish tint, while the flowers themselves are white and are collected in a brush of about 8-9 flowers. The foliage of this tree is large in size and with a glossy surface. As mentioned earlier, this subspecies is considered an autumn variety; the same subspecies include Bere Bosc, Quiet Don, Perun, Larinskaya, Uralochka.

Pear Tatiana: features of the variety

The pear variety Tatiana is considered to be quite fruitful, with regular fruiting. The first fruiting in Tatyana's pear occurs 6 years after planting. This plant does not show premature shedding of fruits, which is undoubtedly considered a great advantage of the variety. Also, the culture has a high level of resistance to low temperatures in winter and good immunity to such dangerous diseases as powdery mildew and scab. In terms of frost resistance, such subspecies as Forest Beauty, Hera, Vernaya and Krasnobokaya can be put on a par with this variety. As already mentioned, the flowering period for this subspecies comes a little later than for other varieties, but this is not at all important, since this culture is self-fertile, and can remarkably bear fruit even with a single planting. If other pears with the same flowering period grow near this plant, then cross-pollination occurs and the yield level increases greatly. Together with this subspecies, another 1-2 crops of the same variety can be planted, then the yield will increase (with cross-pollination, which variety is not at all important, it is important that the pollen comes from another plant).

Pear Tatiana: planting and care

It is possible to plant the Tatiana pear variety both in the spring and in the autumn, although most farmers prefer to do this in the spring, due to the fact that during the growing season, an active young plant can adapt and take root, as well as prepare for the onset of the winter season. In order for this tree to please you with its growth and development, as well as a good and regular harvest, you should be very responsible about the place of its planting and further growth. This tree is quite vigorous and, therefore, for its good development, a sufficiently illuminated and spacious place is required, without close proximity to other cultures and buildings. But the pear variety Tatiana is quite worthy of the royal location on your site. The same vigorous varieties include Oryol Beauty, Yakovlev's Favorite and Noyabrskaya. If you plan to plant several such plants at once, then it is worth planting them in a row and leaving a distance of about four meters between them. This variety has a very negative attitude to flooding, and, accordingly, with such a probability, the tree should be planted at some height, for example, on artificially created hills and ridges, and drainage grooves are required in order to drain excess liquid. Planting holes Must be at least one meter in size and approximately 80 by 80 centimeters wide. When digging a hole, the fertile topsoil is deposited separately from the least fertile. While digging from the least fertile soil, it is required to make a roller along the edge of the near-stem circle, so that the water cannot spread during watering. You need to add a top dressing to the soil, consisting of two handfuls of superphosphate, a bucket of one large humus, a handful of potash salt and a shovel of one ordinary wood ash (per tree). This plant grows excellently on slightly acidic soil and does not need liming of the soil. A small mound is made in the center of the planting hole, and the roots of the plant must be carefully positioned along its shoots. It is worth noting that this mound must be sufficiently compacted, and when the root system is covered with soil, compaction is constantly made so that voids do not turn out, due to which decay of the rhizome can occur, as a result of which the tree may simply die. A peg should be driven in near the seedling, which will serve as a support for your plant. A seedling is required to be tied to this peg. After that, the planted tree should be well watered and the soil nearby should be mulched.It is worth saying that the younger the seedling is, the better and faster the adaptation and rooting of the plant goes. The best option would be for planting specimens that have reached the age of 1-2 years. When planting seedlings that are one year old, the upper part needs to be made shorter by up to one meter, and all the buds that are not 50 cm long must be removed.On the seedlings, which are two years old, there are quite developed shoots and such a tree is able to independently form a crown , therefore, pruning of such plants is done only for sanitary purposes. If it happens that your tree is frozen or has grown tops, then some of them remain to replace the affected shoots, although they will bear fruit only when they are in a horizontal position, for this they are tied to the pegs made. In the first year of the plant's life, it is required to carry out for it on a regular basis, but as necessary, the procedure for watering and weeding from weeds. There is no need to feed the tree, organic fertilizers are applied to the soil once every three years, and mineral fertilizers were applied during planting in an amount that would last for several years of the plant's life. An insufficient amount of nutrients can be simply noticed - there will be a slowdown in the growth of young shoots. If their growth proceeds at a normal pace, then no additional feeding is required. With an overabundance of organic fertilizers in the soil, a strong growth of shoots can occur, which cannot mature by the winter period, and with an overabundance of mineral fertilizers, the whole organism of this plant will be poisoned. Therefore, a measure is needed everywhere, or rather, a correct calculation. Before the beginning of the fruiting period, it is required to dig up the tree trunk circle, and then tinning and constantly weeding.

Diseases and pests

As mentioned above, Tatyana's pear has a good immunity to diseases, and with proper and high-quality care, it can easily resist most dangerous, common diseases and infections. If it happens that the culture has undergone a disease, or you notice fruits infected with scab or fruit rot, as well as damaged bark by a bacterial burn, rust on the leaves, then urgently treat the plant with special means, such as Skor or Delan. An excellent option would be to spray the plant with a 10 percent urea solution in early spring or late autumn for prevention. Tatiana's pear has a fairly long life cycle and a tree trunk, and during this period, large branches can overgrow with cracked old bark, on which fungi, lichens and insects may well settle. To prevent this from happening, you should regularly clean the old bark from the trunk and branches. In those places where damage has occurred, it is worth treating with iron or copper sulfate, then whitewash with lime with added clay and mullein. Such actions will serve as good preventive measures against diseases and in the fight against various pests, because the bark of this tree is considered an excellent place to hide harmful insects. Also, varieties such as Duchess, Larinskaya and Perun have good resistance to various infections. If it so happened that you saw a gall mite, flower beetles, a moth on the pear variety Tatyana, then you urgently need to treat the culture with any insecticide, but I act strictly according to the described instructions.

Follow all the rules for the care and prevention of this plant, and Tatyana's pear will certainly delight you with its wonderful, tasty, bountiful harvest.
