Pears cultivation
New: we have a FORUM where we can talk about fruit growing. If you want to read and write about fruit diseases and cultivation techiques, do it here.

Anyway, have a glance to our pear orchard

Actually it's only a little part of it. It's 200 mt long and 50 mt wide, for total 10.000 square mts and 1.350 pear trees including 2 vaieties:

Rosada	Abate Fetel

We bought the orchard together with the house in Spring 1994.
Fruit cultivating is a nice but difficoult job; it requires deep knowledge about trees diseases and the ability to prevent them with the right chemical or natural products.

I will put in this page all concerning illnesses, cares and all activities concerned with pears cultivating. Give me only some time to do it.
