Carmen pear
Italy
Quince BA29, Seedling
Late July – Early August
The Carmen pear variety was developed in 1980 at the Experimental Fruit Farm Institute in Forli through a cross between Dr. Guyot and Bella di Giugno. Today, it is a highly sought-after variety, increasingly planted in commercial orchards worldwide. The name Carmen follows the CRA tradition of naming pears after famous operas to highlight new varieties: following Turandot, Tosca, Norma, Aida, and even Falstaff, this time the choice fell on Bizet's four-act opera, Carmen.
The flesh has a fine texture, is very aromatic and juicy, with a balanced and slightly tart flavor.
The fruit is medium to large, elongated with a slightly curved tip. The skin is greenish-yellow, turning red on the sun-exposed side (30–40% of the surface), giving it a beautiful and attractive appearance. Fruits store well in cold storage, where the red coloration intensifies, making the fruit even more visually appealing.

You can purchase seedlings of Pear Carmen at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
