Abstract
The pear collection established in 1972 includes 30 Pyrus species, 331 foreign and 121 varieties.
The results are recorded for athe main characteristics which are inportant in breeding: blooming and ripening season, tree vigour, fruiting type, fruit size and productivity.
For blooming time the gene sources range over a 30 day period.
Very early and late ripening charecteristics occur in only few varieties.
Pear yield potential is high, about 40 per cent of genotypes having good yield as a dominant character.
The best genotypes from point of view of aforementioned characteristics are given.
