Characteristics of the variety

To make a choice, it is worth studying the main characteristics of the variety.

Sizes

Since growth is slow, the variety is classified as a dwarf variety. The first seven years, the height does not exceed two meters. The tree can then grow up to three meters in three years.

Due to the powerful crown, wide in diameter, the apple tree looks large. Branches to the trunk are at an angle of 90 degrees.

Yields

The variety bears fruit from the fourth year after planting. Apples ripen from the beginning of August. At the onset of technical maturity, the fruits are immediately harvested, since there is a high probability of falling off. As a result, apples rot because of the high juice content. Up to 15 kilograms of fruits are harvested from one adult plant.

Starting from the 10th year, the harvest increases to 30 kilograms of juicy fruit.

For a stable and abundant harvest, the tree must be properly pruned. Strongly thin out the dense part of the crown, as the leaves and fruits should receive a sufficient amount of lighting.

Frequency of fruiting

From the fourth year to the seventh, the apple tree bears fruit every year. Then every year the tree has a dormant period. As a result, the yield is reduced by half. In some years, the plant completely rests and does not bear fruit.

Winter hardiness

The variety has an average frost resistance. At very low temperatures, a separate part of the tree can freeze. But after trimming the damaged areas, the tree quickly recovers.

To protect the root system, the ground around the plant is mulched in late autumn.

Disease resistance

When carrying out preventive measures against pests, the possibility of damaging the tree is minimized. To do this:

• white trunks;
• harvest fruits on time;
• remove fallen leaves;
• sprayed with a special preparation at the time of flowering and during fruit set.

Resistant to scab and other common diseases.

Reviews of gardeners

Maxim, 46 years old: “I grow different varieties of apple trees. From mice in the winter I cover with plastic bottles. The lower branches freeze in severe winters. I cut them, but there is no fear in this. The tree is recovering quickly.”

Svetlana, 35: “Five years ago I planted a tree on the advice of my relatives. And she didn't regret it. Many large fruits have grown this year. The first specimens appeared very early, in the third year we were able to taste apples, although only two grew. The following year, seven liters were collected. This year's harvest is ripe.”

Elizaveta, 37 years old: “I saw this variety for the first time at the age of 10. The tree looked great. Strong, beautiful, thick leaves. Lots of fruits. Tastes amazing, juicy. In the same autumn I bought two seedlings. Both settled down. Withstand severe frosts down to -40 degrees. They give a lot of fruits. You can't eat everything.Selling to colleagues at work.”
