Already by the name of the pear variety "Honey" it becomes clear that it tastes very sweet, with a pleasant honey taste and aroma. Since it was bred in the Crimea, it is often called "Crimean honey". And it turned out as a result of pollination of the French "Bere Bosk".
Description of pear variety "Medovaya"
The variety is recommended for cultivation in the North Caucasus region. It refers to late-autumn varieties, removable maturity occurs in mid-September.
The "Honey" tree of the pear is of medium height, with a small pyramidal crown. Later on, based on this variety, a sort of columned "Honey" with a very compact crown, ideal for small gardens was obtained.
The fruits are large, reaching 400-520 grams by weight, the average weight is usually 350 grams. The shape of the fruit is short-pitted, unequal. Their surface is tuberous, with a weakly expressed ribbing.
The skin of pears is thin, dry and smooth, and the color is greenish-yellow with brown blush. There are subcutaneous small points of gray color. The flesh of the cream is creamy, fragrant and very juicy. It just melts in the mouth, leaving a honey aftertaste.
Pursuing the description of the pear variety "Honey", it must be mentioned that she needs pollinators, since she is only partially self-fertilized. At least two pollinating trees should be present on the site, which blossom and ripen in the same timeframe as Honey. The best candidates for this role are the pear varieties "Tavricheskaya", "Miracles", "Bere Bosk" and "Bere Ardanton".
In the presence of good pollinators and other favorable factors, the yield of "Honey" pear is up to 110 kg from one tree. When the removable maturity of pears do not crumble, and continue to hang on the branches. If some pears are not ripe, they should be left on the tree, because after harvest they do not ripen, but harden and do not acquire the necessary juiciness and sweetness.
