Description
The Pyrus communis seedling is a very vigorous rootstock that is ideal for producing large specimens of pear trees. This seedling has a lifelong growth potential and produces trees that can often grow to over 6 metres tall, making them particularly suitable for applications such as parks and avenue plantings. It is the traditional way of growing pear trees on their own roots, resulting in long-lived trees with a sturdy structure.
Key features:
Growth: The Pyrus communis seedling is a very vital rootstock that promotes intensive growth, resulting in large pear trees. This seedling grows less homogeneously than vegetatively propagated rootstocks (such as the Quince series), but still offers excellent results.
Soil and Climate Preference: Suitable for a wide range of soil types, including chalky soils, and tolerates different climate conditions. This makes the seedling versatile and suitable for various growing conditions.
Compatibility: The seedling is compatible with all European pear varieties and is ideal for both self-pollinating and cross-pollinating varieties.
Use: Often used for growing large pear trees in gardens, parks, and avenue plantings. The trees have a strong and robust structure, making them perfect for decorative and commercial applications.
Longevity: The trees grown on this seedling are long-lived, meaning they can produce for decades and adapt well to demanding conditions.
Application and Suitability:
The Pyrus communis seedling is ideal for growing large pear trees that will thrive in a wide range of soil types and climates. The trees are well suited to growing on their own roots, and are an excellent choice for parks, avenue plantings, and large-scale pear production.
