Many gardeners grow early varieties of pears. They are suitable for regions where autumn comes quickly and frosts begin quickly. Therefore, it is especially important to cultivate them in central Russia. These species differ in comparison by their small but sweet fruits. Their ripening occurs from mid-July to the end of August.

Characteristics of early pear varieties

The bark has a gray or gray-green tint and peels off. The shoots grow brown-brown in color and have small lentils on them. The leaves are short-pointed, smooth, without pubescence, and have a light green color. When flowering, the tree does not have an aroma, as happens with other flowering plants. Flower petals are oval.

Description of fruits

Today we are talking about varieties of early pears. You can see a description and photo of each type in this article.

Speaking about the “early summer” pear, gardeners note that even the most ripe fruits do not fall off the tree for a long time. The taste of this pear is amazing, sweet and sour. The pulp is white, aromatic and juicy, as if it melts in the mouth if the fruit is well ripe.

The skin of this pear is thin, matte, and has a yellow-green tint. When the fruit is fully ripe, it turns lemon yellow and has a slight pink blush. Small dots become visible under the skin.

The fruits are small in size, weighing only up to 120 grams, but this is compensated by their excellent taste. The pears are bottle-shaped, their surface is even and smooth.

By planting a seedling of this variety on your plot, you will be able to enjoy the described fruits in the sixth year after planting.

"Early Moldavian"

The earliest varieties of pears are famous for their beautiful appearance and excellent taste. It is rare that a late variety can boast of the absence of an astringent sour taste, which few people may like. One can safely count “Moldavian” among the early varieties of pears, since its juicy and ripe fruits are harvested from mid-July to mid-August, depending on climatic conditions and care. This variety was obtained by crossing “Williams” and “Clapp’s Favorite”.

The tree is tall and powerful. Its crown is dense, extensive, and seems compressed. The foliage is dense, dark green, the usual shape is oval, short-pointed.

Fruit

Early varieties of pears are rarely large. “Moldavian early” is no exception, and one fruit can weigh up to 50 grams. But, again, this size makes up for the taste: sweet and sour, aromatic. The pulp is creamy, juicy and oily.

This variety belongs to the category of frost-resistant, therefore ideal for growing in the middle zone. Experienced gardeners advise planting pollinating varieties next to the “Moldavian” to obtain maximum yield. “Bere giffard”, “swallow” and “beautiful” are ideal for these purposes.

Fruiting occurs in the third or fourth year after planting the cuttings. Productivity is stable and quite high. On average, one tree produces seventy kilograms of fruit.

"July Early"

This species is one of the best varieties of early pears. The fruits ripen in mid-July. The founders of the variety were our compatriots E.I. Kostetskaya and L.M. Sergeev.

Skorospelka from Michurinsk

If you need a large harvest of delicious summer pears, and their size is not important, then Skorospelka from Michurinsk is just right. Pears grow 80-100 grams, rarely more, but there are so many of them! The variety is self-fertile, therefore it is productive, but if you plant the autumn variety Pamyat Yakovlev nearby, the harvest will still grow, because These varieties pollinate each other.

One of the relative disadvantages is being tall. But maybe someone just needs a tall tree, who knows. Regarding diseases: resistance to scab is high, to moniliosis, alas, not very much.

Early ripening pear

At the end of July you will be pleased with the fruits of an early ripening pear of the “early ripening” or “early ripening” variety. This variety was developed by S.P.

The tree is fast growing and tall. Its appearance is very interesting, the branches extend upward from the trunk at right angles, forming a dense, pyramidal crown. The foliage is dark green, elongated, pointed.

Taste qualities of fruits

The fruits are quite small, no larger than a chicken egg and of the same shape. Initially, the skin has a green tint, but when fully ripe it becomes more yellow. There are small “rusty” spots on the surface of the peel. The fruits are unattractive in appearance, and therefore it seems that the taste will be the same. But after trying, you will see the opposite. The unsightly and tough-looking peel is actually very thin and delicate. The pulp is juicy, more sweet than sour, and has no astringency. The taste of pear is excellent; it is soft, buttery and refreshing. Reviews confirm this.

After ripening, the fruits are stored for no more than two weeks. “Early ripening” pears are consumed mainly fresh, or juices are prepared from them, as they are very juicy. The tree will bear fruit in its fifth year. It tolerates harsh winters easily, so it can be grown throughout Russia.

I have both types of Mlievskaya growing in my garden, both early and winter. I specially grow the first one for jam, drying and eating fresh. I put the winter ones in the basement to store them. We start eating only in December, there is enough until April.

Mlievskaya winter is an excellent variety. The tree, although tall and bushy, can be grown without any problems. It doesn’t get sick or freeze, it’s just very thick and you have to cut it off often.
