cultivation of apples and pears exhibited a clear increase in 2012 compared with
2007. The number of apple trees increased by 31 % since 2007, while the
number of pear trees increased by 27 % during the same period. The total
number of apple trees amounted to 2 537 573 in 2012, spread over an
area of 1 494.1 hectares. The number of pear trees was 268 246, on an
area of 196.2 hectares. The apple- and pear plantations were mainly localized
in the county of Skåne, where 88 and 81 % of the apple- and pear trees,
respectively, could be found. The most
common varieties of apple were Ingrid Marie and Aroma, which made up 43 %
of the total amount of apple trees in 2012. A change in variety composition
does, however, appear to be underway. During the period 2008–2012 the number of
trees from the varieties Rubinola and Frida increased sharply, and other varieties
such as Santana, Sunrise, Gloster and Rubinstar did also exhibit marked
increases. The most
common pear variety was Clara Frijs, which together with Carola made up
53 % of the total amount of Swedish pear trees in 2012. In parallel to the
situation for apples, the varietal composition appears to be changing for
pears. Between 2008 and 2012, the most commonly planted variety was Alexander
Lukas, while Herzogin Elsa also exhibited a clear increase. In contrast, the
varieties Clara Frijs, Carola and Conference displayed marked decreases in the
amount of trees planted during 2008–2012, compared with the previous five-year
period. List of tables
