Reviews of gardeners

Maria, Moscow region:

- For several years, a variety of apple trees Marat Busurin has been growing on our site. I am glad that the plant is winter-hardy and rarely gets sick. Caring for an apple tree is not burdensome. And the fruits are very tasty and juicy, which we eat fresh before the New Year holidays.

Olga, Leningrad region:

- We have been growing Marat Busurin apples in the country for 3 years, but have not yet collected a full-fledged harvest. This is because in the first 2 years the flowers were not cut off. It turns out that in order to accelerate fruiting, they must be removed.

Ilya, Volga region:

- The apple tree is beyond praise. Stably bears fruit, despite the fact that we rarely visit our personal plot and take care of the plantings not very carefully. But we harvest regularly, at the end of each season. The fruits are pleasant to taste, however, the skin is a little thick.
