Planting of fruit trees (pear). Flowering and pollination?

Pear trees are pollinated by insects. Cross-pollination is usually necessary. The large, white flowers appear in clusters on short perennial shoots.
Flowering time: the first half of April. By the early flowering time is some years of spring frost damage, with flowers partially or fully frozen. See also article on pollination pear varieties.

Pear trees are suitable for large and small gardens. Some species and varieties are also suitable for the ornamental garden. Especially the apple pear or Asian pear sand is very beautiful!


Choice varieties of pears and picking time:

The easiest and most productive varieties are 'Conference', 'Comtesse de Paris' Concorde', 'Bonne Louise d'Avranches'​​,' Durondeau 'and' Uta '. Let fruitful and difficult to cut the 'Beurre Hardy' and 'Doyenne du Comice'.

Summer pears (Clapp's Favourite, precoce the Trévoux) ripen in August, autumn pears (Triomphe de Vienne, Double Flip, Beurre Hardy) in September. More info see pear picking time and harvest survey several pear varieties
Recommend winter pears / store pears include "Comtesse de Paris' and 'Josephine de Malines'

See "Storage of apples and pears"
Interesting pear varieties because of their regular production and / or because of their low disease susceptibility.

Flower arrangements: creative door decoration

Flower arrangements:

door arrangement for Advent


supplies





Supplies / floral material:

1 piece of Styrofoam insulation.
Green paint.
Spruce green.
Staples.
Annealed copper wire.
A few sprigs of larch with fruit to.
Glass icicles.
Spray adhesive.
Fake snow.

method:

Cut out a framework to measure the insulation.
The outer dimensions of my frame is not bound 55 x 25 cm.
The width of the frame frame (which is bound) measures 6 cm.
Paint it in green (as a precaution if the green spruce would dehydrate)


Next make tufts spruce green and make it with the staples. Tip: make your own green wire staples so they are certainly invisible)

Start on the inside of the frame, then the top and finally the exterior. Make sure that the tufts overlap each other. (staples may not be visible)

All a little tighter by using copper wire which is rotated even more.

Once part of the winding wire bound attach a couple sprigs of larch (Larix), spruce top of the green.

The spruce green with spray adhesive spray and then sprinkle with fine powder.

Then attach the glass cones. (see finished photo)
