Apple trees late varieties good keeping quality

I never cease to be amazed at the popularity of apples:

• A very common fruit. Or rather, the most. On each garden plot or local area, they are grown. Or they just grow;
• Very fit. To both climate and soil;
• Extensive assortment... Take what I want. Early, autumn or winter;
• Amazing ability and the possibility of long-term fresh storage. We use it almost all year round;
• Widely used for making juices, preserves, jams. And what kind of pastries without apples;
• Apple is a source of replenishment for your body:
  • Sugar;
  • Acids;
  • Vitamins;
  • Essential oils;
  • Tanning and pectin substances;
  • Micro and macro elements.

If you take by the ripening time, the indisputable advantage belongs to the late varieties. In the recommendations for amateur gardeners, they are preferred.

If the summer ones recommend you to plant one or two varieties, then the winter ones - 5-6. And even more. If there is room for the arrangement of the local area.

The close attention to this group of apple trees on the part of farmers and reputable agricultural firms is understandable. With vast areas of industrial gardens.

Remember! It is important not only to grow these

varieties

... But also keep them. For long-term fresh consumption. And also for implementation. After all, ordinary basements may not be enough for this. You can store until spring and summer only in refrigerators.

What attracts winter apple varieties? The reasons are obvious - amazing keeping quality. They are able to maintain their qualities not only for the New Year's table. You can use many of them in the spring. And sell.

Exactly the concepts are applicable to winter varieties:

• Removable maturity;
• Consumer maturity.

Memories from childhood. There were two large gardens near the village. And there were watchmen. But we still knew what was growing and where. And they feasted on fruits and berries. Mostly unofficially. Without asking the watchman. We were practically not interested in winter apples and pears. After all, they took it to eat right away. And they were not tasty and tart.

Most winter apples acquire their best taste and aroma after a certain period of storage. And do not lose them like the early ones. And appearance. The timing is different. But you need to let them lie down for at least 2-3 months. They themselves will prompt with their aroma and appearance. That they should be served on the table.

Winter apple varieties gain their flavor during storage.

And further:

• There are famous ones. Proven over the years. And still popular. Because they are delicious;
• There are new domestic ones. Derived for specific places, regions.

With excellent characteristics:

• For winter hardiness;
• Disease resistance;
• Taste;
• Keeping quality;
• Fruit size;
• But not so famous and popular.

A very varied offer of foreign varieties. There are many temptations. But the requirements for agricultural technology are increased. And also the varieties that you want to have in your garden. Despite their weaknesses and shortcomings.

That's we present the most popular winter varieties for different regions. And let's make a reservation right away. In any list, including apples, subjectivity is always present:

• Russia. The varied climatic conditions of the regions of Russia require their own varieties. It is not for nothing that institutes and experimental stations were created in the regions:
  • Middle zone of Russia. Northwest region:
    • Antonovka;
    • Aport;
    • Moscow winter;
    • Bolotovskoe;
    • Bogatyr;

• Take Ukraine:
  • Renet Simirenko;
  • Calvil is snowy;

  • Mutsu;
  • Elstar;
  • Eliza;
  • Pinova;
  • Starkrimson;

  • And this is not a complete list.

So after all, there is no way to ignore new varieties of Ukrainian selection. Here are just a few:

• And others are an autumn variety (late autumn). This despite the fact that the terms are the same. Both removable maturity and storage;
• Aport. Antonovka is ordinary. Anise.

Consider where they are grown.

After all climatic conditions are different. Even Ukraine has several zoning zones.

Winter-ripening apple trees are unique in that their fruits are stored the longest and will provide your family with vitamins for the whole winter and spring. Healthy, fragrant and vibrant fruits will only be available if the seedlings have been properly selected and grown. The beginning of the search lies in the list of varieties specially bred or adapted to different regions.

Nuances of growing late apple trees

The most significant events for fruit trees are:

1. Landing.
2. Care.
3. Pruning.

Let's take a closer look at each item.

Landing

Violation of the planting rules leads to the fact that the tree will bear little fruit or may even die. The process is divided into three important stages:

• Choosing a place and a seedling.
• Preparation of the landing pit.
• Directly landing.

Several factors will influence the choice of apple trees for your garden. To choose the right variety, you need to understand:

• the height and type of tree (tall or medium-sized, dwarf or columnar);
• ripening time of apples;
• illumination of the place under the apple tree;
• shelf life and taste of the fruit.

When choosing an apple tree seedling, you need to take into account the condition of the soil (including the level of groundwater), and the place for planting, and many other factors

If the seedling is chosen incorrectly, most likely, it will simply die.

After the specific variety has been identified, they proceed to the preparation of the pit. Experienced gardeners will take care of this in advance. Recommended timing:

• for planting in autumn - July - August;
• spring - September - October.

It is better to plant any apple trees in the fall, but this is especially important for winter varieties.

After leaf fall, a dormant period begins at the top of the plant and the tree spends energy only on the development of roots. It is stocked with nutrients that freely flow to the roots with autumn rains. It is then that the apple trees take root very well. The optimal time is when the soil temperature is not lower than + 4 ° C, but the Indian summer has already ended. Long daylight hours can awaken the buds and bring the tree out of the state of biological dormancy. Therefore, most often apple trees are planted in the second half of September. The tree will take 10 to 25 days for it to take root and gain strength for the spring growing season.

The soil substrate for planting is prepared taking into account the peculiarities of the soil of the place where the tree will grow.

For apple trees, it is very important to properly prepare the planting site in advance and act strictly according to the given scheme

While the pit under the apple tree is infused, the earth settles. At this time, siderates are often planted, which are then simply dug up along with the soil.

When filling an apple tree seedling with a substrate, it is important to remember that the root collar should not be buried. At the end, the plant is watered abundantly and the trunk circle is mulched.

Careful preparation of the planting site is especially important for open-rooted seedlings. But regardless of whether there was a tree in the container or without, for him in the next two to three years those elements that are embedded in the substrate are very important. It is they who will give the apple tree strength for growth and proper development.

Table: timing of planting seedlings, depending on the region

If the deadlines for planting apple trees in the ground in autumn are observed, it is important to focus not only on the weather forecast, but also to follow nature. We need the last days of leaf fall.

Care

In general, winter varieties are looked after in the same way as others, but there are some peculiarities. For example, autumn spraying. From the point of view of the prevention and treatment of diseases, this is an important point in tree care. It is carried out only after the fruits have already been harvested. Late ripening varieties yield in September-October, which means that spraying should be done later. But at this time, the autumn weather comes into its own. Rain, a drop in temperature, and even more so frost will not allow such processing. Therefore, it is very important not to skip the spring spraying.

From the south to the north of our country, the apple tree is a favorite fruit crop. People have been cultivating it for a long time, and therefore there are more than 10,000 varieties of apples, old, known for a long time, new or recently brought to us! They differ in size, shape, taste of fruits: from bitter, unleavened, sour to very sweet, so everyone can choose what he likes.

Apples are: summer, that is, early, usually in July, they ripen, they do not lie well, the shelf life is about three weeks, in which they need to be eaten or processed.

Apples autumn categories begin to collect in September, they can be stored until mid-winter. Harvest late, or winter, finally ripens at the end of autumn. Apples in this category are distinguished by good keeping quality and winter hardiness.

It is curious that both autumn and winter varieties of apples can ripen during storage. We will consider the best and most popular in each of the categories in the form of a list with illustrations, so that it is possible to determine and recognize the name of the fetus from the photograph.

For good fruit ripening, it requires a lot of summer heat, therefore, in regions with a short and rather cold summer, apples simply will not ripen. Harvesting is worth it finally ripe, since unripe fruits will not have characteristic taste, and during storage they can wither, but not ripen. But ripe fruits will have the best taste after two to three months of lying.

Medium resistance to fungal diseases and drought. Suitable for fresh consumption, processing into juice, compote and jam, as well as for making dried fruits.
