What is a garden without early varieties of apple trees? The legendary White filling is sure to grow on the old sites. Modern summer residents love to plant Medunitsa. And the most advanced gardeners dream of having Elena. Which variety is better to choose and what to look for?

Even summer residents of the weekend give the apple trees of summer varieties the opportunity to enjoy the freshest fruits to their fullest. The first juicy and aromatic apples ripen at the end of July, and the harvest can be done before the beginning of September. And you can make a lot of blanks for the winter from them.

There are many varieties of summer apples. It is very difficult to make the right choice.

The fact is that most of the early varieties have a common, very significant drawback: apples are practically not stored, and the taste of slightly overripe fruits deteriorates sharply. Therefore, those who have a small plot, but like and White filling, and Lungwort, and Candy, and Elena, and Mantet, and Melba, you will have to master the art of vaccination. You can grow a garden tree that will delight you with fruits of different sizes, colors and tastes. Another option is to contrive and find a place in a small garden for at least two varieties of summer apple trees.

However, the fruits of some varieties of mid-early apple trees still have keeping quality. We are talking about modern high-yield varieties (Narodnoe, Elena). These apples ripen in the first decade of September and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 150 days.

    
The choice is difficult, but pleasant.

On what grounds do we choose summer varieties of seedlings for our garden? The most important is winter hardiness. Given the climate of the middle zone, it is important to plant a tree that will withstand severe frosts in winter and not be afraid of return frosts in spring. Among summer apple trees, these qualities are possessed by White filling, Medunitsa, Melba and many others.

Another important sign is short stature. She is inherent in varieties Pearl, Red early, Narodnoe, Kovalenkovskoe. These trees take up less space, which is of fundamental importance for small areas. It is also convenient to look after them. Besides People's and Kovalenkovskoe they enter the season of fruiting earlier, often already in the 2-3rd year after planting, and please with high yields.

Disease resistance will reduce the cost of tree care and produce quality fruit. And of course, the taste, yield and even the appearance of the fruit must also be taken into account when choosing a variety.

    
Ripe or green?

All summer apple varieties are generally sweet, juicy, and aromatic. They contain up to 12% sugar, a lot of mineral salts and vitamins. But since they cannot be stored for a long time, it is very important to learn how to correctly determine the time when the apple is ripe.

This is all clear with vegetables. The variety descriptions clearly indicate the number of days from germination to harvest. But about apples they write rather vaguely. For example, the ripening period of summer varieties is designated as "second half of August", autumn - September, etc. So understand when it really ripened.And it is necessary to catch this moment: the summer apples taken too early do not ripen well, and when overripe they quickly lose their taste, become mealy, friable. Although they can actually be eaten before they are fully ripe. Unlike autumn and especially winter varieties, in summer, consumer maturity often occurs earlier than removable.

How to preserve summer apples?

They must be harvested as soon as ripe fruits begin to fall off. It is pointless to store unripe apples, they will no longer gain the desired taste. It is better to send them, like carrion, for processing (juices, wine, etc.).

The fruits are harvested early in the morning after a cool night. They start from the lower tiers, gradually rising higher. The apple is tightly covered with the palm and the thumb is pressed on the stalk at the point of attachment to the tree branch. When collecting, care must be taken not to deform the fruit, not to damage the wax coating on them.

The best apples of the same size are immediately placed in a plastic bag and tied to prevent air from entering. Carbon dioxide will gradually accumulate in the bags, then all metabolic processes in apples will slow down and they can be stored for 3-4 weeks.

Apples from young trees are worse preserved than from adults of the same variety. And the fruits that have grown in the southern or well-lit part of the crown are stored longer than their counterparts on the northern or shaded side of the tree.

How to understand when it is time to give up all other things and run to harvest the apple trees of summer varieties? There are 5 main signs:

   1.fruits that are not damaged by pests or diseases begin to fall off

2.fruits acquire a characteristic color and exude a strong aroma

3.when pressed with a finger, a dent remains on the skin

4.The apple is easily plucked from the tree along with the stalk

5. the apple seeds turn brown.
    
There is also a scientific method for determining ripeness. The fruit is cut in half and dipped in an iodine solution (1 g of iodine or 4 g of potassium iodide per 1 liter of distilled water). If after 1-2 minutes a blue border appears at the edges of the cut, and the middle turns yellow, then it's time to harvest. If the pulp just turned yellow, then the apple is either unripe or overripe.
