The best variety of winter apples

Content

It is generally accepted that red is the only sign of a ripe fruit. However, most often only winter varieties of apple trees can please with this color. Which of the late varieties are the tastiest?

Choosing winter seedlings, or, as they are also called, late apples, there are several important factors to consider. Winter apples do not acquire their optimal taste immediately after harvesting, but within a few weeks or even months after harvest. In addition, the trees of such apple trees have increased winter hardiness and can easily endure both severe frosts and recurrent cooling after a thaw.

Why are late apple varieties good?

The main distinguishing feature of late apples is increased keeping quality... They are perfectly preserved until spring (some varieties are stored until summer) and at the same time do not lose their original taste and aroma. They are usually removed in late September - early October in the phase of removable maturity. The fruits at this time contain a lot protopectin and starch... During ripening, the proportion of coloring and aromatic substances in them increases.

Late apples become completely ready for consumption after a few months. Their shelf life, depending on the variety and environmental conditions, ranges from 4 to 8 months.

Benefits later varieties of apples are:

  • long shelf life;
  • apples ripen and acquire a stable taste and aroma;
  • dense texture and firm peel;
  • good transportability;
  • suitability for any kind of processing.

Late varieties of apples are also differentiated by shelf life by:

  • early winter (Antonovka ordinary, Winner, Pepin saffron, Parmen winter gold, Welsey) - stored until January-February;
  • winter (Anise scarlet, Anise gray, Antonovka dessert, Aport, Kortland, Lobo, Mirnoe, Ranet bergamot, Northern Sinap, Sinap Orlovsky) - stored until March-April;
  • late winter (Mantuan, Sary Sinap, Renet Orleans, Renet Champagne, North Sinap, etc.) - stored until May-June.

The main difference between winter and summer varieties of apples is that they are undesirable to eat right away - they must lie down for at least a month.

Winter apple trees for the Middle Lane

This territory stretches from the Leningrad and Volgograd regions in the north to the Saratov and Belgorod regions in the south. In the west it borders on Belarus, and in the east - on the Eastern Volga region. Snowy winters with moderate frosts prevail here, summers are warm and humid. So, when choosing an apple tree, you need to take into account both its winter hardiness and immunity to diseases.
