Characteristics of the variety and its description
Baltic oily pear trees, according to the description given by the originator of the variety, are characterized by medium growth vigor. The fruits are attractive, with an average weight of up to 150–170 g, pear-shaped.
The skin on ripened fruits is yellowish-green in color, with a slight tan of orange color. The pulp of ripened fruits is very tender and juicy, semi-oily. The taste is good. The taste is sour-sweet, very pleasant.
The tree begins to bear fruit five years after planting. The crop can be planted in home gardens and garden plots both in spring and autumn.
Features of planting in spring
The pear called “Baltic oily” is characterized by gardeners as undemanding in terms of soil composition, but it develops best and bears fruit abundantly in areas with well-drained fertile soils.
Planting is done before the plant enters the active growing season. Planting holes for pear seedlings must be prepared in the fall. Depending on the volume of the root system of the fruit plant, the standard dimensions of the pit can be 60 x 60 cm, 70 x 70 cm or 80 x 80 cm with a depth of at least 1-1.2 m. On fertile and light soils, the depth of the pit can be 25% less.
A layer of vegetable or manure humus mixed with coarse sand, superphosphate and potassium sulfate should be placed in the hole prepared for planting pears. A layer of fertile soil is poured on top with the addition of a small amount of wood ash.
Having placed the seedling in the hole, you should carefully straighten the root system of the plant, after which it should be sprinkled with fertile soil and lightly compacted. Do not bury the root collar of the seedling. After planting, the soil is watered and mulched with a layer of humus or peat.

Features of autumn planting
Only in the southern regions can the Baltic Oily pear variety be planted in the autumn. The most common practice is to plant pear seedlings in autumn not in holes, but on previously prepared soil banks or embankments. However, this method is unprofitable on depleted soils. On such soils, standard planting holes are dug and then filled with a mixture of fertile soil, rotted manure or compost, and high-moor peat. A mound of fertile soil is placed on top.
A pear seedling that is completely ready for planting should be carefully placed on top of an earthen embankment, after which the root system of the plant should be carefully distributed over the soil. The roots should be sprinkled with soil slowly and carefully, gently shaking the plant by the trunk, which minimizes the risk of voids forming between the roots of the pear seedling.
The ground around the seedling should be lightly trampled, and then watered abundantly at the rate of a couple of buckets for each planted fruit plant. If necessary, fertile soil is added around the seedling. In order to properly direct the growth of a young plant and reduce the risk of injury under the influence of gusty winds, the stem part must be tied to a special support peg.
Autumn planting involves protecting young and immature plants from sharply negative temperatures in winter. For this purpose, it is recommended to cover the root system of pear seedlings with organic mulch, a layer of at least 6-8 cm, and also, if necessary, insulate the fruit trees with ordinary spruce branches.
Reviews from gardeners

Landing
The plant is undemanding to the soil, but develops better in well-drained, fertile soils. Basic rules for planting the Pribaltiyskaya variety:
- Planting is carried out before the tree enters the active growing season. The optimal planting time is the end of March or mid-November.
- It is necessary to plant the plant in the most illuminated place, dry and level.
- Preparing the pit for seedlings begins in the fall. Standard sizes are chosen for it - 60x60 cm or 80x80 cm.
- The root system must be straightened before planting. Then place it in the hole, cover it with soil, pour in 10 liters of water and tamp it down carefully.
- Carry out appropriate agrotechnical measures - watering, hilling, fertilizing.
It is recommended to plant Baltic oilseed in the southern regions only in autumn. Apple trees are perfect for growing next to other crops. But they don’t place a pear with rowan; they are susceptible to attacks by the same pests.
A two-year-old seedling is selected for planting. The young shoot should have smooth bark, elastic and not dry. The standard height of a seedling is about 80 cm.
Plant care
With proper care, the tree produces a high yield and becomes more resistant to temperature changes. Therefore, a number of agrotechnical measures should be performed.
Number | Agrotechnical event | Application |
1 | Watering | This is carried out from the first days of planting the plant in a permanent place in the garden. After planting, the plant must be watered with 10-20 liters of water. |
In summer, water every 2 days with 1 bucket of water. During the growing period, 5 liters of water once a week.
Pruning is carried out with pruning shears or a garden saw. It is good to lubricate the cuts with garden varnish.
The first years of cultivation are the most important; the tree requires appropriate feeding and abundant watering, taking into account meteorological forecasts.
Fertilizer
In the hole prepared for planting the seedling, it is necessary to add 30 g of manure humus, 400 g of sand and 100 g of potassium chloride.
Treat the tree in the spring with a urea solution. To do this, mix 700 g of the substance and 10 liters of water. This will protect the crop from pests and add the required amount of nitrogen. Spraying with this mixture should be carried out until the buds swell.
For prevention, drugs are used:
The first feeding is carried out in the spring before the start of the sap flow period. The tree is fertilized with saltpeter at the rate of 30 g per 1 m2. The second feeding is applied in May. For this purpose, use a solution of Nitroammophoska in a ratio of 1:200 to 3 buckets of water. Also a good fertilizer can be a mixture of 1 tbsp. l. potassium chloride, 2 tbsp. l. superphosphate and 10 l. water.

Summer varieties of pears are distinguished by excellent yield indicators, they are not demanding in care and begin to bear fruit early. Taking into account all such advantages, they have gained popularity among gardeners and are found in most garden plots. Let us tell you in more detail about the varieties of such summer varieties.
summer pears
The currently popular summer pear varieties have a pleasant taste and abundant fruiting. Harvest ripening for such summer varieties is observed in early August and can continue until early September.
At the same time, the gardener needs to take into account the mediocre shelf life, which forces the harvested crop to be quickly processed, eliminating the possibility of long-term storage of the grown fruit. Let's talk in more detail about the common summer varieties of pears.
Bashkir summer
This variety can be classified as early ripening, which allows you to get the harvest as early as possible. The Bashkir summer pear has been zoned for cultivation in the Volga region.

The skin of the fruit is oily, smooth with numerous small and greenish subcutaneous dots. But during the period of removable maturity they can get a greenish-yellow tint. Harvest usually occurs at the end of July and beginning of August.
It should be noted that Bashkir fruiting begins approximately in the sixth year after planting. Ripe fruits have a wonderful sweet taste, but they can be stored for no more than 15 days. This versatile variety can be used for fresh consumption or for subsequent processing.
Among the advantages, we note excellent frost resistance, low maintenance, resistance to scab and excellent productivity. Disadvantages include the late onset of fruiting and the small size of the grown fruits.

Reviews
- Maria, 32 years old: “I really love eating sweet pears, so I planted two varieties at my dacha – Chizhovskaya and Severyanka. I can’t say that they require care, as they grow and bear fruit well even on sandy soil. True, she chose a sunny place for them. I water it once a month, as I have laid a mulching layer of peat. Thanks to it, moisture lingers longer on the surface. I also add fertilizers in the form of humus, superphosphate and ammonium nitrate.”
