Cultivation
Pyrus communis L.
The pear scion is characterized by high selectivity to the rootstock and pronounced physiological incompatibility with many species, in particular with quince.
In the reference 7 varieties crop European pear, where this is mentioned in the description.
The specificity of the pear lies in the difficulty of achieving affinity when grafting onto clonal rootstocks, such as common quince. Incompatibility manifests itself in the disruption of tissue union, growth retardation, and premature death of seedlings, which necessitates the use of intermediate interstocks of compatible varieties.
When attempting to use other rootstocks, including rowan or hawthorn, a disruption of vegetation biorhythms and the formation of brittle unions are observed. For successful scion development, it is critically important that the vegetation periods of the components match and that wild rootstock suckers, which compete for resources, are removed in a timely manner.
