Despite negative responses on which scientific authorities, kolonnovidny pears after all exist. Under the direction of Dr.Sci.Biol. V.V.Kichina selectors created a number of hybrids of this garden culture with supernumerary krone – kolonnovidny forms. The fullest collection of kolonnovidny pears in the territory of the CIS, probably, at Mikhail Monakhosa from the village New Crimean Krasnodar Krai. In August, 2004 to it behind shanks of kolonnovidny pears very active and most sociable gardener – an opytnik Gennady Gerasimov from Nizhnegorsk also went. The trip crowned success – brought shanks of 8 hybrid forms of a pear, shanks of a krasnolistny kolonnovidny apple-tree and some more shanks of apple-trees – novelties. As or names of these forms we didn’t know numbers, on "council" of dzhankoysky opytnik and (Gerasimov, Maksimov, Essen) was decided to "call" them on the first letters of surnames of their founders – KKM.
Gennady Gerasimov brought shanks to me on August 18, 2004. KKM – 1, 3, 4, 5 got to me, 6 and in the second decade of August imparted these shanks on stocks: VA-29 and IS – 2-10. Despite, to put it mildly, pitiable condition of shanks after long travel, an inoculation got accustomed and gave a decent gain.
According to the Kuban writer – the propagandist of organic agriculture N. Kurdyumov, kolonnovidny pears keep a slaboroslost irrespective of a type of a stock. Knowing it, just in case, I imparted them nevertheless on slaborosly stocks.
The first, in 2006, kolonnovidny pear KKM-3 blossomed. 5 fruits of a usual pear-shaped form were stuck. However they to ripeness not doviseli – got dotignuv masses of 60-70 grams. In 2007 blossomed and stuck fruits two trees KKM-1. At them fruits appeared a ploskoogrugly form, as apple. The fruit which weighed was weight in 216 grams. They kept up at the end of September. At an exhibition in experimental station of gardening on October 29 a pear tasted. According to Raisa Danilovna Babina flavoring qualities of a fruit pull on 4,6-4,7 points on the 5th ball scale.
So there are now kolonnovidny pears and in the Crimea.
