Santa Maria Pear
Italy
Quince BA29, Seedling
Mid-August
This variety was developed through crossbreeding in the 1950s. It is highly valued as a table pear and sells well fresh. Due to its high yield, it is sometimes referred to as a "pear factory." It can also be used for brandy production, although the quality is not as high as that from the Williams variety. Fruits can be stored for up to three months in cold storage, although some recommend no longer than one and a half months.
The flesh is juicy and aromatic.
Santa Maria Pear has a greenish-yellow color with a red blush on the sun-exposed side. Fruits are medium to large, averaging around 180 grams. The surface is smooth, and the aroma is mild.
Abate Fetel, Williams, Boscova Bočica, Košija, Tosca.
Flowers mid-late and is not overly sensitive to late spring frosts. This variety may show increased susceptibility to brown rot (Monilinia) and scab.
You can purchase seedlings of Pear Santa Maria 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.
