Abstract
Palmettes with slant branches are the most frequently used tree forms of pears on Quince A in Yugoslavia.
In apples the slender spindle shape is considerably easier to use than the palmette and it provides high productivity and earlier fruiting.
Considering this we have set up the experiment with pear on Quince A using slender spindles with densities from 1428 to 5714 trees per hectare and palmettes with slant branches as controls.
Cultivars Williams, Abbe Fetel and Passe Crassane were examined.
The best results were obtained with Williams at the highest density of planting and the poorest ones with the controls.
The quality of fruits was negatively correlated with density of planting.
This experiment was carried out in production conditions and showed that in the conditions of Fruska Gora without irrigation, pears on Quince A can be grown as slender spindles at densities of planting from 2857 to 2285 trees per hectare (3.5 × 1.0 – 1.25 m).
