columnar varieties

, it is recommended to bend the apple trees to the ground for the winter, fasten them with hooks, and additionally insulate them with spruce branches and snow.

Suitable for growing with high groundwater levels

Long-term stagnation of moisture at the roots is detrimental to any apple tree. A site with good natural or artificial drainage is needed.

Fruit trees tolerate short-term waterlogging well, for example, during floods. But constant long-term stay in water will lead to the death of any apple tree.

Apple trees are not placed in swampy, floodplain places, in lowlands, where groundwater is close to the soil surface.

If the water horizon does not lie deep:

• they select low-growing varieties of apple trees, or tall ones, but on dwarf rootstocks - their root system is superficial;
• sprinkle the earth, raising the level of the earth, pour mounds, on which apple trees are then planted.

The choice of rootstock depending on the level of groundwater.

Half-crop apple trees for the Urals

A garden is not only work and care, but also creativity. May it bring joy!

In the garden plots of the center and southern regions of Russia, the apple tree is quite widespread, but not all varieties are suitable for growing, for example, in the Urals.

Thanks to breeding work, many varieties have been bred that feel quite tolerable in a harsh climate, grow well and give annual harvests. Let's take a closer look at the most popular ones.

Both in the center of Russia and in the Urals, all varieties of apple trees are divided into groups according to the ripening period: summer, autumn and winter.

The best summer varieties of apple trees suitable for growing in the Ural region are: Hornist, Silver Hoof, Ural Rose; excellent varieties of the autumn ripening period: Uralets and Rumyanka Sverdlovskaya, and the beauty of Sverdlovsk and the Pervouralskaya variety can be attributed to exemplary winter varieties.

Let's start with the earliest - summer varieties.

Bugler

This is a fairly new variety of apple trees with summer ripening. Differs in good winter hardiness and the ability to withstand the difficult climatic conditions of the Urals. Trees grow powerful and spreading, although at a young age they have a pyramidal crown. With the right care, you will get a good harvest of juicy, bright red, striped apples every year. And although Hornist's fruits are not very large, their pleasant sweet and sour taste will not leave indifferent even the most fastidious taster. By the way, apples can not only be eaten fresh, but also processed (they make excellent juice). Another indisputable advantage of the variety is scab resistance.

Beauty of Sverdlovsk

One of the most widespread varieties in the Urals. On good soil, with proper care, a fairly large harvest can be harvested, even despite the fact that the tree of this variety is very compact and low. If you want the yields to be stable, allocate the most secluded spot on the site for the seedlings of Krasa Sverdlovsk, protected from the piercing north wind. And then the grown trees will thank you with large cream-colored fruits with a perky blush. Sometimes (not every year), trees can be attacked by scab.

A new, increasingly popular winter apple variety. His trees are not very tall, with a rounded crown, which is beautiful both during flowering and during harvest. With a sufficient amount of nutrition and moisture in the soil, the fruits grow large orange-red with juicy and hard, very tasty pulp. They have an indescribable refreshing taste and pleasant aroma.

Apples of this variety can be eaten both fresh and used for various types of processing, for example, juicing. Unfortunately, the variety has a disadvantage - it is susceptible to scab.

Uralets

This variety has proven itself well and has already been tested by time. The trees do not freeze and practically do not get sick.

In conclusion, I would like to wish all gardeners of the Urals not to be afraid of the vagaries of nature, boldly plant apple trees on their plots, because their fruits are not only tasty, but also useful, contain a complex of vitamins and microelements. It is best to breed not one variety on the site, but several. It is great if they are of different ripening periods. So you can eat apples fresh, dry them or make jam, and even lay them in storage for a chilly winter season!

 

 

The climate of the Urals cannot be called favorable for the cultivation of fruit trees. Freezing temperatures during flowering, constantly changing weather conditions and strong winds can ruin crops. In Siberia, severe winters are added to the listed problems.

   

Thanks to breeding work, apple varieties were bred that feel quite tolerable in a harsh climate and give annual harvests. A distinctive feature of these varieties is their resistance to low temperatures. We present to you the best of them.

   

The collection of fruits from summer varieties of apple trees begins in mid-July. They can be consumed straight from the tree, without any aging. Their storage and consumption period does not exceed 2 months.

When planning to plant a garden on your site, you need, first of all, to determine which varieties of fruit plants will grow well and yield crops in your specific conditions. That is, to pick up zoned varieties - varieties that are best suited for growing in the local climate. They must have a set of qualities that allow them to grow and bear fruit successfully in these conditions.

How to choose apple trees for the Urals

For example, when selecting varieties of apple trees for the Urals, they first of all pay attention to such characteristics as:

1. Frost resistance. The climate in the Urals is continental, with harsh winters, no thaws, good snow cover. Here, a very necessary quality will be good frost resistance of wood and flower buds.

2. Drought resistance.In the Ural region, there is little rainfall in summer, so low moisture requirements will be a useful quality.

3. Resistance to scab disease. An important quality, since the defeat of apple trees by such a disease as scab seriously affects the quality of the fruits and the health of the tree in general and involves a large number of chemical treatments of the garden.

4. Early ripening of fruits. It is relevant for the northern regions of the Urals, for example, the Chelyabinsk region. Here, the supply of plants with summer heat is the lowest in comparison with other regions. Late and large-fruited varieties simply do not have time to ripen and gain taste.

Chinese Long

What varieties can be recommended for cultivation in the Urals? First of all, these will be:

• Small-fruited varieties such as semi-crops, especially in the northern parts of the Urals;

• and natural weeping dwarfs.

Consider what breeders offer to gardeners of the Urals. The selection of frost-resistant apple trees is carried out in the South Ural Research Institute of Horticulture and Potato Growing.

Through their efforts, the gardens of the northerners were replenished with the following wonderful varieties:

The climatic conditions of the Urals are different in different regions of the region: in the northern part (Chelyabinsk region), especially cold winters and cool summers. Further south, in the Orenburg region and Bashkiria, winters are milder and summers are warmer. But, nevertheless, in general, the climate of the Urals is rather harsh, with frosts in winter. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully choose apple varieties, paying attention, first of all, to their adaptability to harsh climatic conditions.
