We offer you photos of other, no less worthy varieties of apple trees for review. With the help of these photos, you may be able to identify the varieties of apple trees growing in your gardens (if you do not already know them).

Those varieties of apple trees that were popular with our grandparents are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays you rarely see in the gardens Grushovka Moskovskaya, Korobovka, Aport, Borovinka, Kitaika Zolotaya early, and even Antonovka is gradually losing ground. Despite the pleasant taste and other advantages, these varieties are in many ways inferior to those that have been bred over the past few years.

Varieties with which it's time to say goodbye

New varieties of apple trees with improved characteristics of yield, winter hardiness and resistance to the most common diseases appear in the State Register every year. Some of the currently popular varieties of apple trees are distinguished by absolute immunity to scab, others are valued for their excellent keeping quality and shelf life, while others attract with their beautiful appearance and wonderful dessert taste.

It is not at all necessary to plant in your garden exclusively seedlings of those varieties that have proven themselves well twenty or thirty years ago. Try to replace them with new varieties that domestic gardeners have already fallen in love with. It is unlikely that this choice will disappoint you!

How to deal with various diseases of apple trees from year to year, worry about how the trees will survive the winter, and unsuccessfully try to increase the yield, isn't it better to get rid of old varieties? Let's figure out which apple trees you can refuse without regret.

For example, in an old variety Cinnamon striped the apples, although tasty, are not very attractive in appearance, and the yields are not high enough. And apple varieties Autumn striped grow too large, start bearing fruit late and are weakly drought-resistant.Instead of these varieties, it is better to plant the Orlovskoe striped variety with mouth-watering tasty apples and good yield, or Cinnamon new - a variety that begins bearing fruit early, productive and is immune to scab.

Canadian Quinti is not winter-hardy and scab resistant

Quinty and Folding - summer varieties of apple trees, which are also not very suitable for cultivation. Canadian Quinti is not winter-hardy and scab resistant, Papirovka does not bear fruit every year, besides, apples are very sour, becoming tasteless when overripe, and do not tolerate transportation well. Gardeners preferred Canadian Melba with delicious fruits to these varieties. And the new varieties Early Aloe and Orlinka are not only high-yielding and fast-growing, but in addition surpass Melba in winter hardiness.

From winter-hardy varieties, you can say goodbye to North synap, giving not particularly tasty fruits, with Pepin with saffron, prone to frequent scab damage, as well as with a variety Memory of Michurin, from which it is difficult to wait for a good harvest. Antonovka ordinary with all its positive qualities, it disappoints gardeners with irregular fruiting, short shelf life of apples and the manifestation of "sunburn" on the fruits during storage. Antonovka has no analogues in terms of fruit taste, but its yield and ripening times can be replaced by such varieties as Legenda, Cinnamon new, Brusnichnoe, Marat Busurin.

The subtleties of cleaning and storage

Growing an apple crop is not easy, but it can be more difficult to preserve it. Fruits for long-term storage are harvested in dry weather, only by hand and with great care. It is unacceptable to shake apples from trees, broken fruits are not stored. They are harvested along with the stalk. Do not remove apples by pulling them down, twisting or pulling. This leads to the breaking off or pulling of the stalks and the breakage of the fruit twigs.

Most apple varieties are best stored at temperatures close to zero and 90-95% humidity. At lower humidity, the fruits begin to wilt (the skin becomes wrinkled). Sharp temperature fluctuations at high air humidity lead to the appearance of moisture on the surface of the fruits, which leads to their massive rotting.

Enemy forces

Gardeners are not the only ones who love to eat apples. One of the main enemies of the summer resident - apple moth. The main protection measures are cleaning, collection and destruction of dead bark in autumn or early spring, the use of trapping belts, constant collection and processing of volunteers during the summer. Amateur gardeners often use fermenting apple juice, which, in addition to the moth, also attracts moths, scoops and other insects.

Apple blossom beetle deprives many summer residents not only of the harvest, but even of the joy of admiring the spring flowering of trees. You need to start protecting the garden from the apple blossom beetle in early spring - trapping glue belts are applied to the stem. Beetles are shaken off the branches during the period of bud swelling before the inflorescences protrude. The procedure should be carried out early in the morning at air temperature.

not higher than 8–10 ° С, then the beetles are inactive. This successfully replaces the chemical treatment against the apple blossom beetle.

The most harmful disease of the apple tree is considered scabwhich lowers the yield and weakens the tree in general. When laying a garden, it is worth choosing modern, disease-resistant varieties. The main preventive measure is cleaning the affected leaves after they have fallen from the garden; they can be burned, buried, composted. Treatment of the soil surface after leaf fall and tree crowns with concentrated solutions of mineral fertilizers with a high nitrogen content (7% urea solution or 10% ammonium nitrate solution) significantly accelerates leaf mineralization, and the dormant stage of the pathogen does not have time to form. But in years favorable for the development of scab, and on varieties susceptible to disease, it is impossible to cope with the disease without the use of fungicides.
