DESCRIPTION

Bera Hardy is a variety of pear that is very fast growing. The fruits are medium to large, and of similar size, with an ovoid shape, that is sometimes spherical or elongated-conical. The skin is greenish-yellow, rough, and covered with a golden brown blush. The flesh could be described as creamy-white, buttery, and extremely juicy, with a wine-sweet spicy aftertaste.

ADVICES

The tree is best planted in a sunny position, sheltered from the wind. The tree prefers humus-clay soil which is moderately moist. The optimum pH range is 6,2-6,7.

To stimulate future growth the tree should be pruned in the first year immediately after planting. Formative pruning should be executed on the main stem, 20 cm above where planned future branches will grow. The other branches should also be cut, reducing their length by one third. The best time to prune the pear tree is annually in the spring. Pear Bera Hardy pollination requires the presence of other varieties flowering at the same time. Best results can be achieved by planting with varieties Bonkreta Williamsa, Konferencja, Komisówka, Paryżanka, Faworytka.
