General characteristics of a Perenboom (wilde)

De gewone peer is een inheemse soort. De soort groeit uit tot een middelgrote boom met een rechte stam en een brede kroon. In het voorjaar verschijnen witte bloesems die veel insecten aantrekken. In de nazomer en herfst ontwikkelen zich peren die door mensen, vogels en zoogdieren kunnen worden gegeten.

Characteristics


How to plant a Perenboom (wilde)

Plant de zaailing op een zonnige plek in losse, goed doorlatende grond. Graaf een ruim plantgat zodat de wortels voldoende ruimte hebben. Plaats de boom op dezelfde diepte als waarop hij groeide en druk de grond na het planten licht aan. Geef direct water zodat de wortels goed contact maken met de bodem.

How to harvest a Perenboom (wilde)

Zaailingen kunnen worden geoogst tijdens de winterrust, van november tot maart. Steek de zaailing ruim uit zodat zoveel mogelijk wortels behouden blijven. Voorkom dat de wortels uitdrogen en bewaar ze vochtig tot aan het uitplanten.

Caring for and pruning your Perenboom (wilde)

Jonge bomen hebben in de eerste jaren extra aandacht nodig tijdens droge periodes. Houd de directe omgeving van de stam vrij van sterke begroeiing zodat de boom voldoende licht, water en voeding krijgt. Bescherm jonge aanplant indien nodig tegen vraat door wild of vee. Zodra de boom goed is aangeslagen vraagt hij weinig onderhoud.

Where does a Perenboom (wilde) grow

De gewone peer groeit het best op voedselrijke, goed doorlatende bodems. De soort komt voor in boomgaarden, houtwallen, erfbeplantingen, bosranden en struweel. Verwilderde exemplaren worden regelmatig aangetroffen op voormalige erven en langs wegen. De boom houdt van zon en verdraagt droge omstandigheden redelijk goed.

Reproduction rate

1. Very low reproduction rate. The plant hardly spreads, has few seeds or vegetative spread (e.g., trees with heavy seeds).
2. Low reproduction rate. Spread via limited seed production or specific conditions required
3. Average reproduction rate. Regular spread, depending on wind, water, or animals, at a moderate speed (e.g., dandelion).
4. High reproduction rate. Many seeds and multiple spread strategies (wind, birds, vegetative). Quickly colonizes open spaces
5. Very high reproduction rate. Invasive species that spread explosively over large distances (e.g., Japanese knotweed).
