The leading horticultural company of Ukraine “Sady Dnipra” (TM UApple) has started planting a pear orchard.
Vadim Ermolaev, the owner of the company, wrote about this on his Facebook page: “The start of a pear orchard in “Sady Dnipra”! 5 hectares of pears have already been planted during a few days. A total of 30 hectares – almost 90 thousand trees, will be planted this year.”
According to Vadim Ermolaev, pears are a more difficult crop than apple, both in planting and in management. But “Sady Dnipra” team is not afraid of it.
“High-quality, beautiful and tasty pears will arrive on the Ukrainian shelves soon,” the businessman said.
Earlier, Vadim Ermolaev announced that the company would grow pears of the Noyabrskaya and Williams varieties.
