Abate Fetel Pear
France
Quince BA29, Seedling
Late September
The Abate Fetel Pear was discovered by the priest Abbé Fetel in 1866. Today, this variety remains highly valued and occupies an important place in modern pear orchards. Its distinctive elongated shape and exceptional organoleptic qualities have made it a favorite among growers and consumers alike. It is considered one of the finest pear varieties in the world.
The flesh is sweet, fragrant, and pleasantly aromatic. Abate Fetel pears are best enjoyed fresh and raw, as their full sweetness and aroma are most pronounced when freshly picked.
The fruit is elongated and conical, medium to large in size, weighing between 200 and 320 grams. The base color is pale green, turning to straw-yellow as the fruit ripens. Harvest usually occurs about 15 days before full maturity to preserve quality and extend shelf life.

You can purchase seedlings of Pear Abate Fetel at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
