Seedling
Early July
Rare, indigenous old pear varieties, such as the Ječmenka pear, can still be found in our regions, although this variety is gradually falling into obscurity. In the past, Ječmenka was grown on almost every estate, whereas today it is a success to find even a single tree. They are usually found as solitary trees in village gardens or in small orchards. Suitable for planting around houses in yards. It ripens in early July, during the barley harvest, which is how it got its name. Suitable for brandy production as well as for fresh consumption and processing.
The flesh is very flavorful with a distinctive aroma, sweet-sour, and refreshing.
The fruit is small, pear-shaped, yellow with a light red blush. The flesh is white, turning brown when fully ripe. The skin is greenish-yellow. Not recommended for storage as the fruits quickly begin to decay.

You can purchase seedlings of Pear Ječmenka 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.
