Thanks to her, the tree turns out to be an excellent decorative decoration of the site. Wonderful Cypress and for planting along roads, fences, as a green hedge. It looks especially good during the fruiting period, when its vertically directed branches are completely covered with medium-sized (40 - 60 g), very regular shape and beautiful light pink apples. The fruits will appeal to those with a sweet tooth - they are sweet (albeit a little bland, without acid), with a slight spicy aftertaste. For the particular popularity of the fruits of this variety among children, they are even called "baby apples".Due to the small fruitiness, the early golden Kitayka, which is memorable to gardeners of the older generation, has also become rare.The Legend apple variety has a sweet, candy taste. Quite large conical fruits of dark red color have an attractive presentation and the same size. With proper care, the productivity of apple trees is very high, fruiting is annual. Winter hardiness and disease resistance are about the same as that of the best traditional varieties.Memory of Michurin

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.Resistance to frost and cold, scab - very high.The peduncle is small, short. The inner part of the "golden Chinese" fruit is yellow flesh, pleasant, apple flavor with a persistent aroma. The color of the leaf is green, slightly lightened, there are denticles along the edges. During the ripening period, they fall off strongly, prone to scab damage. It tolerates winter time well.In its composition, apples of the "White filling" variety contain a lot of sugar, ascorbic acid, pectin, fiber. Apples have poor keeping quality, but high taste.

It is important that the new variety, in comparison with the mother variety, ripens approximately one to two weeks earlier for which it got its name.Unfortunately, the variety is almost lost, and only in recent years have we started to reproduce it to a limited extent (lack of cuttings). And yet, keeping in mind: "He who seeks, he will always find," try to get the Pionerskoye in your garden. Painfully, the grade is good.Reference by topic: For the apple tree to bear fruit every yearWhat a pity! This is a unique amateur variety, especially loved by children, capable of bearing fruit in areas located in unfavorable conditions for gardening. The fruits ripen in early August, like most summer varieties, and are stored for no more than 10 days. The apples are small, rounded, golden yellow, when fully ripe they are bulk: on a sunny day, even the seeds are translucent. The pulp is juicy, sweet. The first fruits appear in the third or fourth year. The harvest is medium and periodic. Scab resistance is average.Summer variety Mantet is valued for its early maturity, winter hardiness and good (albeit periodic) yield.Apples begin to ripen from the end of July, they are recommended to be consumed within a month. The pulp of the fruit is very juicy, aromatic, tender, sweetish with sourness. The Mantet variety is unstable to powdery mildew, but it is resistant to scab., From which it is difficult to wait for a good harvest.QuintyNew 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.The fruits are removed and harvested in mid-September. The time and period of keeping and storage of Bessemyanka apples ranges from 3-5 months. They do not deteriorate during transportation.

The apple variety "Moscow Grushovka" is an early type. The tree grows large, with strong overgrowth of foliage over the entire area of ​​the apple tree crown. As it grows, the crown of the apple tree takes on the shape of a ball.

The best apple varieties bred in recent years

A variety of Canadian origin with large, shiny leaves, large pinkish flowers. Fruits grow to medium size, oblong-rounded, slightly ribbed on top. When fully ripe, the flesh turns yellow, and their skin becomes soft and smooth. It has high taste and juicy pulp. Among the disadvantages of Manet apples are poor winter hardiness, uncooked ripening, instability to scab at high air humidity.

The yield of the early Grushovka is slightly higher than the Moscow Grushovka, but this is more likely due to the large size of its trees.

The variety is highly winter-hardy, yields are abundant, but irregular. It begins to bear fruit early - in the second or third year after planting in the garden. It is resistant to scab. The disadvantage of the variety is the shattering of the fruits. But this applies to all early ripening varieties.

• But, of course, large-fruited early summer varieties are primarily interesting for family gardens. Well, the earliest of them, ripening at the end of July - the first half of August, are slightly more than fingers on one hand. Three of them, which are now attracting more and more interest in gardeners, were created by my father, Professor Sergei Ivanovich Isaev. This is
• Until March, the fruits of the Orlik variety, a winter variety of apple trees that ripen by mid-September, can be stored (you can see the photo in the tab to the article). The yellow fruits, covered with a solid red blush, have a harmonious sweet-sour dessert taste and a bright aroma. The winter hardiness of apple trees is sufficient, the resistance to scab is average.

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!

The fruits of the Grushovka Moskovskaya apple tree ripen early, the size of the apples is small, and weak ribbing is visible on the fruits. The skin of the apple is firm, smooth.

Earliest apple varieties

Apple tree of Canadian origin. The trees are of medium height with a full, rounded crown. The color of the bark is light gray. Leaves are oval, slightly curved, flowers are pink with a purple tint. The skin of the fruit is soft and smooth, slightly covered with bloom. The shape of the apples is conical. The fruits have excellent taste, they are often used for making juices and compotes.Apples begin to ripen at the end of summer. The disadvantage of the variety is weak resistance to scab, poor winter hardiness, periodicity in fruiting.

Evaluating Grushovka early, its author, Professor Sergei Ivanovich Isaev, wrote that “the main advantages of the variety are early ripening of fruits and high winter hardiness of the tree. In terms of tree and fruit characteristics, the new variety resembles Moscow Grushovka, but differs from it in earlier ripening of fruits, their larger size, beauty and greater resistance to scab ... Thanks to the beautiful crown, the trees of this variety are very suitable for ornamental plantings. " He always emphasized that Grushovka early is everywhere replacing Grushovka in Moscow and is especially important for regions with unfavorable conditions for gardening, as well as for gardens located in cold zones, lowlands, swamps and other cold places.One of the most common apple trees in our gardens is Moscow Grushovka. This ancient variety of folk selection has long been loved by gardeners for early ripening of fruits and high winter hardiness.Cypress

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.FoldingVideo about apple varieties

I live in Ivanovo, they planted a Lada pear (bought in a Suzdal nursery). The first harvest was last summer !! ! We liked it, sweet, tasty, small graininess. She hibernated all the years normally, even in the snowless she did not freeze. We have no apple trees. Good luck and good harvests!The inner flesh of the apple is white with a barely noticeable yellowish tinge, the taste of the apple is loose, juicy, tender when eaten. The seeds inside the apple are small and the seed chamber itself is small, so there is a lot of the fruit mass of the apple. Sugar-9.5%. The time interval for picking apples and picking comes with the onset of August from the 5-10th day.Important:

And also early Grushovka has an interesting feature - non-simultaneous ripening of fruits, and therefore they can be used for a long time directly from the tree, removing as they mature. This is a disadvantage for industrial gardens, but a godsend for family gardens. One such tree in my garden has been feeding all of us and friends for more than a month every year for more than half a century.But he has two serious flaws. First: susceptibility to fungal disease - scab, which in some, especially wet years, can literally destroy apples. Fruits covered with black, cracking "ulcers" are often simply buried in a hole. Second: the obviously reduced quality of the fruits - by modern standards, they are too small, and the quality is far from coming out. This greatly reduces interest in her.It is recommended by us for use in the middle lane, mainly as ornamental forms of apple trees with fruits of early summer ripening period "- this is how Professor Isaev wrote about this variety.

The late winter apple variety Bogatyr is famous for its high yields. Its large fruits with a pink blush are very aromatic and tasty - their sweetness is successfully complemented by a slight sourness. Fruiting begins in the fifth year after planting.

In the photo, the variety of apples "Antonovka ordinary"- 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.

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 give up without regret.

Pioneer means first

If you find a Bellefleur apple tree - buy it, you will not regret it. Well, delicious apples! Pear - Tenderness, frost-hardy, and to taste - a real southerner. The period of early harvest of apples lasts 2 weeks. Fruits are prone to shedding when ripe. The yields are very large and highly indicative. Transportation of apples of the "Grushovka Moskovskaya" variety over long distances is undesirable, due to the rapidity of the loss of marketable apples. It tolerates frost and cold normally, scab affects the apple tree without any problems - it is weakly resistant.

In general, the common properties for all early varieties of apple trees are reduced resistance to fungal and other diseases, short shelf life, low frost resistance, instability of fruiting.

If you want an early-ripening apple tree that is reliable in terms of winter hardiness, plant an early Grushovka.Unfortunately, gardeners are still far from being aware that this variety has been replaced by, I would say, an improved Grushovka, which is officially named Grushovka early, for almost 70 years.Recently, Cypress saplings were planted in the form of an alley to the Memorial to the soldiers who fell in the Great Patriotic War, in the Kaluga region, near Optina Pustyn, in Nizhnie Pryski. And I think this is the beginning of yet another destination for this variety.

Variety Cypress

Particularly noteworthy are the varieties of apple trees included in the State Register that are absolutely resistant to scab: Solnyshko, Imrus, Bolotovskoe, Jubilee of Moscow, Orlovskoe Polesye, Freshness, Kandil Orlovsky, Start, Zdorov'e, Rozhdestvenskoe.

Apple variety Grushovka Moscow

Through the efforts of breeders, genes for apple resistance to the most dangerous diseases and genes for dwarfism were identified - something that was missing in the old varieties of apple trees. So, now in the world there are more than 150 varieties that are immune to scab, which means that they do not require treatment with fungicides.

From winter-hardy varieties, you can say goodbye to

For example, in an old variety

Good domestic varieties - early apple - Orlovim (sweet apples), early pear - Lada (sweet).

The "Candy" apple variety is an early type of apples and ripens in summer. Bred in the process of fertilization of pollen of varieties Papirovka and Korobovka. The tree is of usual medium size, but vigorous. The first fruits of Candy apples appear after 3 years, in the fourth year.

However, all the disadvantages are covered by obvious advantages: these are the earliest terms of fruiting, delicate skin, excellent taste properties that allow apples to be used equally well for making confectionery and homemade products.

Columnar apple trees are very fashionable now, but they still need to work a lot before they take root on Russian soil. But ‘Kiparisovoye’ is a ready-made Russian “column”. But the tree of this variety is tall, and therefore, if you want to have a stunted tree in the garden, then graft the stalk on a weakly growing stock or use a weakly growing insert. According to my observations, such trees also grow with one trunk, without branches. And one more feature of trees of this variety - they cannot be cut off, some shoots that interfere with the cypress appearance of the tree can still be cut into a ring, but shortening the shoots and branches will lead to the loss of pyramidal shape.

EARLY PEAR

The variety got its name for a combination of truly pioneering properties, rare for an apple tree: very early ripening of apples - by mid-August, and often even earlier, and very early -

Varieties Kitayka golden early, Grushovka early and Julskoe Chernenko

There are few varieties with an early ripening period, which, apparently, is due to the ban on eating apples until the Apple Savior, which falls on August 19 (August 6, old style). Because of this, folk selection discarded summer varieties, and they did not end up in gardens. The early ripening apples were also unlucky during the Soviet period - due to the underdevelopment of processing enterprises in industrial orchards, they were almost never grown.

Among the new varieties of apple trees, the following are distinguished by the best characteristics: Liberty, Golden Resistant, Baritone, Enterprise, Ligol, Krasa Sverdlovsk, Lovely Red, Green Blues, Askolda, Williams Pride, Champion, Capital Red, Radogost, Bullfinch. Most of the listed varieties have already become widespread abroad, but in our country they are only gaining popularity.

White filling

The variety is more resistant to scab. But in order to get really beautiful apples, it still needs (especially in rainy years) a systematic fight against the fungal parasite.

Literally in the second year after planting - the beginning of fruiting. Pionersky's fruits are absolutely wonderful - quite large (70 -80 g), golden when ripe (in some way even in color resembling an early golden Kitayka), unusually pleasant, sweet and sour, dessert taste. They are especially good with abundant watering - they become larger, even more juicy and truly liquid - you bite off, and the juice splashes as much.

For family gardens, not just summer varieties are especially interesting, but the earliest ripening ones, which ripen already in late July - early August. There are only a few such varieties, called early summer varieties. From the old ones, these are various arcades (including

The apples, although tasty, are not very attractive in appearance, and the yields are not high enough. And apple varieties

And I really love apples of the Moskovskaya Grushevka variety. Oh wait, I wish I could chew them, saliva started to flow, I remembered, I’ll go to the store to eat, I’ll get drunk :)

Summer early apples. Apple variety - Golden Chinese An early variety, a very successful and unexpected hybrid for apples. Apples ripen very quickly, by July 10, the "golden Chinese" ripens. Apples are considered one of the most affordable and healthy fruits. They contain vitamins of group B, A, C, essential amino acids and minerals. Different varieties have completely opposite properties, and if keeping quality is appreciated in late apples, then in early apples the ability to eat apples as soon as they were picked from the branch. Early pear was obtained from pollination of Grushovka with Moscow Papirovka and in many properties resembles its parent variety - Grushovka Moscow.It is similar to it in high winter hardiness (both bore fruit equally abundantly even after the harshest winter of 1978-1979), the appearance of the tree (only in Grushovka, in the early days it is larger), the type of fruiting (on ringlets) and, unfortunately, the strict periodicity of harvests. The trees are very winter-hardy (they bore fruit even after the harsh winter of 1978-1979) and some are especially viable. In my garden, an almost 70-year-old tree of this variety, planted by my father, plentifully and annually bears fruit without signs of aging and damage. It is relatively large, with a good, well-formed crown. Given the high winter hardiness of the tree and the crown convenient for grafting, Moscow gardeners are beginning to use young trees of this variety as skeleton for growing multi-sorts trees. The variety was obtained in Michurinsk, at VNIIS, from crossing an old Russian variety Apple variety - Moscow Grushovka. Arkad yellow, Arkad summer), grade I.V.

And one more thing: summer varieties of pears, (the same Lada) ripen For apples of the "Candy" variety, the ripening phase is August, they begin to ripen early, but they are not stored for a long time, no more 15-25 days. A variety of golden apples was used for areas with a very short warm period in summer. The Chinese apple tree is golden of ordinary medium size, the branches are yellow with a direction from the trunk at an acute angle to the sun. The most popular varieties of apple trees ripening in early summer are white filling, mantet, melba. The color and taste of the varieties range from pale green to red, from sour to sweet. Apple variety - new Bessemyanka These varieties are very similar in fruits, but in the early Grushovka they are largest, prettier, and tastier. If Grushovka Moscow has an average weight of 56 g, then Grushovka early - 78 g (this is already a noticeable difference). The variety is resistant to scab. It was not damaged by this truly plague of the apple tree, even by the current rainy, and therefore the most favorable summer for its development. I will note, by the way, that at this time the apples of such a favorite summer variety by gardeners as Cinnamon striped ... Due to the reduced yield, arcades have practically disappeared from our gardens. The apple variety Medunitsa has become a real find for those who like sweet apples with a honey flavor. Their taste is most pronounced immediately after removal from the branch; fruits can be stored in the refrigerator until January. Fruiting of apple trees begins already in the fourth year, the yields are plentiful, regular, but with age they become periodic. The Medunitsa variety is immune to rot and scab.

Early, but not kept at all. They need to be eaten in a week. Autumn pear varieties are stored for up to a month. But the winter ones are stored until February, and there are some until March. All varieties of apple trees are now delicious. Do not take the pear tree. The tree is large, the apples become smaller, and the fruiting may not be annual. Summer varieties are much tastier.

The apple variety "Bessemyanka novaia" refers to the autumn varieties of apples with good fruit yield (60-80 kg), beautiful fruits (150-190 g), but this is the result of breeding when crossing such apple varieties as Bessemyanka Michurinskaya and Anis Aly.

This variety is included in the State Register as one of the earliest ripening varieties. The Baltic countries are considered the homeland of the variety, but today apple trees feel great throughout the European territory (with the exception of Eastern Siberia, the Urals and the Far East). The trees are of medium size, with an extensive crown. Relatively resistant to diseases and pests.
The fruits of Grushovka early, like Grushovka of Moscow, are flat-rounded, one-dimensional, smooth or slightly ribbed, but some have a narrow seam characteristic of the fruits of the father's Papirovka variety.
