The best varieties of apples

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 fight 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 give up 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 poorly drought tolerant. 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, also not very suitable for cultivation. Canadian Quinti is not winter-hardy and resistant to scab, 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.

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.
