Apples autumn categories begin to collect in September, they can be stored until mid-winter. Harvest late, or winter, finally ripens at the end of autumn. Apples in this category are distinguished by good keeping quality and winter hardiness.

It is curious that both autumn and winter varieties of apples can ripen during storage. We will consider the best and most popular in each of the categories in the form of a list with illustrations, so that it is possible to determine and recognize the name of the fetus from the photograph.

Early varieties of apples

Apple trees of this category begin to bear fruit already in the first 3 years after planting, and sometimes even earlier.

Is different good winter hardiness and keeping quality, the fruits can be stored until May-June, which makes it very popular. Fast-growing, gives a stable, bountiful harvest of delicious apples.

For good fruit ripening, it requires a lot of summer heat, therefore, in regions with a short and rather cold summer, apples simply will not ripen. Harvesting is worth it finally ripe, since unripe fruits will not have characteristic taste, and during storage they can wither, but not ripen. But ripe fruits will have the best taste after two to three months of lying.

Medium resistance to fungal diseases and drought. Suitable for fresh consumption, processing into juice, compote and jam, as well as for the manufacture of dried fruits.

Melba

Summer varieties

In most regions of Russia, summer is not long, and therefore summer apples are sometimes not a frequent treat. Apple trees in this category ripen early and begin to bear fruit.

To date, breeders have bred many varieties of apple trees that can be grown in regions previously considered unsuitable for their growth.

Summer apples are usually juicy, sweet and delicious... Their biggest drawback is poor keeping quality... They are eaten fresh, juices are made and canned. Let's take a look at the best ones.

White filling

White filling

Popular, widespread, ancient variety. The fruits of the White filling are of a noble ivory color, which is where the name comes from. The apple tree has a white filling of medium height, an adult tree grows up to 5 meters in height, the crown is pyramidal.

White filling is winter hardy, but it is highly vulnerable to wood pests, therefore it requires regular treatments. They have a sweet and sour taste. The harvest is harvested in August.

Apples deteriorate quickly, especially when hit or dropped, because stored for a very short time... Therefore, it is most correct to immediately eat or process them. Do not allow overripening of the fruit, since in this case the taste deteriorates markedly, the pulp becomes mealy and almost tasteless.

The fruits of the white filling deteriorate not only when dropped, but even when you press firmly on them with your finger, dark spots appear, the pulp looses, becoming dry and mealy. Therefore, apples must be removed very carefully.

Folding

Folding

Another well-known variety that is often confused with white filling. But this is not entirely correct. As relatives, they still have differences. The birthplace of the Papirovka apple tree is the Baltic States. Begins to bear fruit early, already 5 years after planting.

It tolerates frost well, but not resistant to scab, traces of which can be seen both on the foliage and on the apples themselves. The harvest ripens a week earlier than the white filling. The flesh of the papier is white, coarse-grained, contains an increased level of ascorbic acid, therefore the taste of apples is refreshingly sour. It resists the influence of pests and diseases quite well, but suffers from drought and frost.

Papier fruits poorly transported and lie, stored for about three weeks, quickly rot if damaged. If you want to keep them for some time, you need to harvest unripe. Also well suited for processing and preservation.

Candy

Candy

A variety of apples obtained by the Michurin method from white filling and boxing. Apple trees Candy are distinguished by their rapid development and growth, at the age of 5 they begin to bear fruit, have a powerful spreading crown.

They are unpretentious, winter-hardy, which is an undoubted advantage for many Russian regions. Pruning trees helps to increase the yield, as well as the ability to form a bush from the tree. Due to frost resistance, cultivation is possible even in Siberia.

The fruits ripen in mid-August, from one tree you can harvest up to 50 kg. The fruits are smooth, with a sweet taste and excellent presentation. Apples are quite good keeping quality; they can be stored for up to two months.

The main difference between winter apples and summer apples is that winter apples should be eaten after they have lay for at least a month.

Grushovka Moscow

Grushovka Moscow

Apple tree withstands frosts down to -50, therefore it can be grown in many Russian regions, even in the Urals and Siberia. It is one of the most frost-resistant. They begin to bear fruit as early as 5 years after planting, the harvest ripens in July-August, but do not bear fruit en masse. Apples inside the crown and at the top ripen at different times, which significantly complicates the harvest.

The pulp of apples is juicy, but after picking it quickly becomes mealy. Fruit do not tolerate transportation and practically are not stored. In rainy weather, they are susceptible to scab infestation, and in drought conditions, the tree may even shed its fruits.

Moscow pear is not very suitable for conservation, because apples have a sour taste, which will require a lot of sugar. But at the same time, they contain a lot of vitamins B and C, therefore it is better to use them fresh.
