Breeding history
Before us is a Belarusian variety, which was obtained as a result of crossing Alexandrovka and Klapp Favorite pears. Selection work was carried out by a team of breeders: Mikhnevich, Myalik, Putsilo and Konovalova. 
The variety was included in the State Register of Belarus in 1999.

The taste of the fruit is sweet, with a noticeable sourness. Have a high tasting score.
Lighting Requirements
Pear though can be planted in the penumbra, as the leaf plates are not very demanding to light, but during the flowering and the formation of the fruit, you need a good light day and direct sunlight on flowers and fruits. 
For this reason, it is recommended to plant a tree in an open area. It is especially important that in the first 3-4 years, the tree should receive not only a sufficient amount of fertilizer, but also have access to sunlight.
Soil requirements
For plants suitable loose well-drained substrate that does not trap moisture. At the same time, it is necessary to add a little clay to the soil, respectively, after it has been added, the ground should also be good for passing moisture.
Important! When planting, the root neck should protrude 3 cm above the substrate.
Pollination
The variety is self-productive, so planting it "alone" on the site does not make sense - you will not get the fruit without another pollinator pear.
This information is very important, since no insects will be able to conduct pollination, if there is not a pear of another variety nearby, which can act as a pollinator.
If neighbors grow pears near your plot, then it is worth wondering if they can play the role of a pollinator.
Important! Such varieties as "Fun", "Just Maria" and "Lagodnaya" are suitable for pollination.
Fruiting
You can only be pleased with the fruits of a four-year-old tree, because before that you will either receive empty flower or the ovary will fall off. 
You should not make a large amount of fertilizer or water growth stimulator, because earlier than 4 years, you still will not see the fruit.
Did you know? Pears are good for diabetics because they contain more fructose, which does not require insulin rather than glucose.
Terms of ripening

Yield
The "perfume" is valued, first of all, for its productivity, since from 1 hectare it is possible to collect about 20 tons of quality products.
Transportability and storage
A late pear is not distinguished by too soft fruits, therefore it can be transported over long distances without loss. As for storage, the fruits collected in a normal (not over-ripe) state are stored for about 3 months.
Disease and pest resistance
The owners who grow this variety, note a good resistance to various bacterial diseases, as well as scab. However, a variety of fungal diseases, however, is affected.
First of all, it is worth buying preparations to protect the tree from rust. A fungal disease, for which the variety has no immunity, can quickly occupy a tree, affecting not only the leaves, but also the fruits.
Rust and other fungi can be fought with Bordeaux liquid 1%, or strong chemical agents can be used. It is recommended to apply fungicides even if coniferous trees grow on your site. 
As for pests, the variety has no particular resistance. For this reason, try to spray the tree with folk solutions with a small lesion, or chemical mixtures - with a strong one.
Frost resistance
"Spirit" has an average frost resistance, so planting it in the northern areas is not recommended. First, the tree after winter will be in a terrible state, and you will have to constantly remove the frozen shoots. Secondly, the fruits will ripen later, which can cause frosting.
Fruit use
