Nieuwe perenrassen in de kijker

New pear varieties in the picture

The last 2 decennia the pome fruit sector in Belgium has been specialized in pear growing, thanks to the success of the Conference pear. More than 90 % of the acreage of pears is planted with Conference. But this makes the sector very vulnerable, because there is no spreading of the risk. And also the work load at harvest is concentrated in 2 weeks. Therefore is very important to look at new pear varieties to expand the assortment. For about 15 to 20 years pcfruit is paying a lot of attention to this topic.

Varieties in the picture are among others Corina®, Celina/QTee®, Early De-sire®/Gräfin, Cepuna/Migo®, Sweet Sensation®, Regal Red® Comice, Dicolor, Red Modoc®/Lowry2 and Xenia®/Oksana.
