In which month are pears ripe for picking?

Pear, as a common and well-loved fruit , has many unique characteristics. Its ripening season also varies depending on the variety and region. So in which month are pears ripe for picking? Let’s take a look below.

1. In which month are pears ripe for picking?

The ripening and picking time of pears varies by variety and region, but most pear varieties ripen in July and August and are harvested from early September to late October. 12. Specifically:

Early-maturing varieties: such as June Snow Pear , may mature in May or June.

Medium-ripening varieties: such as Yali and Huangguan pears, usually mature in July and August.

Late-maturing varieties: such as Qiuyue pear, may mature in September or October.

2. How to plant pear trees?

1. Time: Planting can be carried out after the seedlings shed their leaves and before they sprout. The planting density can be determined according to the terrain of the plantation, generally 2×3m or 2.5×4m.

2. Planting: Dig a hole 80cm wide and 50-60cm deep according to the row spacing of the plants. Place about 30-40cm of straw, branches or green manure branches and poles in the hole, then add the topsoil and compact it. Apply 50-80kg of organic fertilizer or 20kg of chicken manure, and finally add 1-2kg of calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, mix with the soil and fill it in. When planting, the grafting point should be 5-10cm above the ground. Pay attention to compacting the soil around the roots and watering it sufficiently. If the planting place is a windy one, a support should be set up to prevent the seedling from falling over.

3. Fertilization: Fertilization varies in different growth stages. The first topdressing is carried out after the fruit trees bloom in mid-April, the second topdressing is generally around mid-May to early June, and the third topdressing is carried out after the fruit is picked from late August to mid-September.

4. Pollination: When cultivating pear trees, it is necessary to cultivate seedlings of pollination varieties with similar flowering periods to make pollination easier. Generally, the ratio of main cultivated trees to pollination varieties is controlled at 2:1 or 1:1.

5. Shaping: Young trees should cultivate fruiting branches. The length of the main and side branches should be shortened year by year. For mature trees, the overly dense auxiliary branches need to be thinned out or shortened.

6. Pest and disease control : Comprehensive pest and disease control in spring can effectively reduce the probability of pest and disease occurrence throughout the year and improve fruit quality. Currently, the main pests and diseases of pear trees include pear borer, aphids, stink bugs, etc.
