Apple tree best variety

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 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 starts bearing early, productive and is immune to scab.

Canadian Quinty 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 best apple varieties bred in recent years

Through the efforts of breeders, genes for apple tree 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.

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.

Video about early summer varieties of apple trees

We present to your attention a brief description of apple varieties that have already earned the love of Russian gardeners:

• 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.
• The Legend apple variety has a sweet, candy taste. Fairly 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Apple variety "Orlik"

• 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.

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.

Among the many varieties of apple trees, the gardener will find a fruit tree that meets the needs of an amateur or professional in its characteristics. Breeding work on the breeding of new clones and adaptation of the known ones are carried out in all countries of the Northern Hemisphere. The result is trees with new protective genes and other changes in the structure and fruiting of the apple tree. Let's try to present well-known and diverse varieties of apple trees with photos.

Classification of varieties by traits

In order to determine which seedling your garden needs, you need to know the features of the area. This concept includes:

• what frosts are typical for the area in winter, and how long they last;
• whether there is a prolonged warming with a sharp cold snap in the middle of winter;
• how deep the layer with groundwater lies in the area where the garden grows;
• when stable warm weather sets in;
• how many days the period of positive temperatures lasts during the growing season.

These inputs are used to choose an apple variety for long-term cultivation, and also to choose the taste of the fruit and the storage time.

When laying a garden from any fruit plants, you need to select zoned varieties - recommended for cultivation in this region.

First of all, it is necessary to select varieties that are suitable for winter hardiness. Those apple trees that develop well in central Russia are unsuitable for Eastern Siberia. If at a tender age they can be preserved, then subsequently the apple tree will suffer annually from freezing. You cannot raise a tree. Frost resistance is transmitted genetically during the formation of a variety

Apple tree Ranetka

An example of such a tree, which is a small-fruited apple tree, is Ranetka. The ranetka apple tree was obtained by crossing a Siberian small-fruited apple tree with a Chinese one. The apples are small, weighing up to 12 grams, but with a rich taste and smell. Apples do not cause allergies and are included in baby food. They are good in compotes and jam "with legs".

The trees are tall, winter-hardy and give a harvest every year. They do not get scab and are undemanding to the conditions of detention. On the basis of crossing with other varieties, the apple trees Dobrynya, Kitayka Saninskaya, and Purple ranetka were bred.

A sprig of ranetki on a large-fruited apple tree will be a useful and exotic addition.

Spartak variety

The winter-hardy large-fruited variety Spartak is recommended by the State Register for use in the Middle Urals and Eastern Siberia. This variety is popular in areas where apples were recently imported. The variety was bred at the Samara experimental station by the breeder S.P. Kedrin. Grafted on a Chinese tree or Zhigulevskaya forest apple, Spartak saplings begin to bear fruit even before they are planted in a permanent place. In the photo there is an apple tree Spartak on the described rootstock, ready for planting.

The tree quickly awakens from hibernation and begins an accelerated vegetation. The crop is harvested in early September, but within a month they are gaining taste in the laying place. Apples 90-130 g, there are also large specimens at the beginning of fruiting. The fruits are harvested when they become red-striped. When cultivating, it should be taken into account that the variety is moderately resistant to scab, therefore, preventive treatments during the growing season are mandatory. The branches of a young tree are directed at an acute angle, so a persistent deflection of the skeletal branches to a horizontal position is required, otherwise a break in the future under the weight of the fruit is inevitable.

Apple tree Imant

The Imant apple tree will not grow in Siberia, but frost resistance allows it to be cultivated in the climate of the Moscow region. A variety of Belarusian selection, obtained by crossing Anthea and Liberty with the introduction of a gene against scab. You can grow an apple tree on a seed stock and on a clone. In this case, the standard tree begins to bear fruit in the second year after planting. This variety is suitable for industrial use in the Moscow region.

The Imant apple tree is genetically protected from scab, is not very susceptible to stem diseases, cracking and cancer. On a trunk at the age of five, the apple tree gives up to 25 kg of leveled fruits. The apples are large, weighing up to 200 grams. The main color is green, but a superficial red color covers the entire fruit. The taste of the fruit is sweet and sour. Preservation of fruits at low temperatures until June.

Apple-tree Columnar Medoc

Apple-tree Coloniform Medoc is an autumn variety. The amber apples stuck to the tree are fabulously beautiful. They seem to glow from the honey that has saturated them. The variety is autumn, harvesting is carried out in early September, apples are not stored for long, only a month, but excellent workpieces are obtained from them.Apple trees are demanding on fertility, and depending on nutrition, fruits can weigh from 100 to 250 grams.

A tree with a column up to two meters high and no more than 25 centimeters in diameter. With a compact planting, each columnar-shaped apple tree Medoc tree gives up to 10 kg of amber fruits. The tree is early-growing, can yield in the first year after planting. The planting is thickened, 60 cm between the stems and a meter between the rows. The variety tolerates frost at 40 0, but for guaranteed safety it is better to keep a winter shelter. Pests rarely attack Medoc, leaving is easier.

Apple trees for the middle lane

For regionalization in warmer climatic conditions, there are much more varieties of Russian selection, American, French, Baltic. Among them there are species with average winter hardiness, which easily tolerate frosts of 20-30 degrees, tall and medium-sized trees. Therefore, we will present these types of apple trees according to the degree of their early maturity. It is essential to get the harvest 5 or 9 years after the scion. The time to harvest depends on the seed stock or the cultivar grafted onto the clone.

Low-growing compact stems are represented by apple varieties with a photo:

• winter - Sun, Orlovskoe striped;
• mid-season Champion;
• early variety Elena.

The best varieties of apple trees

Today I would like to share with you information from my sister, who works in a fruit nursery. It will be about the best apple varieties to date. Every year, new varieties are bred, which in their qualities are significantly superior to those that once occupied a dominant position in our gardens.

Each season, varieties appear with improved productivity indicators, resistance to common diseases. And the task of the gardener is to rejuvenate his garden in time, achieving optimal yield characteristics.

All varieties of apple trees can be divided into tasty, aging, and resistant.... These three indicators are what breeders dream of uniting. And I must admit that every year interesting, noteworthy specimens appear on the market. Do not be lazy to experiment, plant, observe, test! It is very interesting…

In any case, it is better to be among those who enjoy new discoveries. Even failures in this case will be experiences, although I doubt you will perceive them as failures.

New promising apple varieties

Yes, the old apple orchard amazes with flowering in the spring, pleases the eye, but most often the harvests in it are far from ideal. In one good year, there are five mediocre, if not completely barren. And the quality of the fruit is far from normal.

Upgrade your apple orchard: if you purchased a plot with old apple trees, then it most likely makes sense to completely renovate the garden, rather than trying to get something valuable from the trees. Yes, there are old trees on our site, but they mainly serve for shade, it is comfortable to sit under them on a hot summer day. But there are no harvests from them ...

A neighbor diagonally from us planted a couple of years agoapple-tree variety Orlovskaya striped and gets incredibly tasty apples with excellent yields from it. He also has planted grade Cinnamon new, which begins to bear fruit early, is quite fruitful and immune to scab.

We are happy on our site Canadian Melba, her apples are incredibly tasty, moderately sweet, slightly sour, juicy and optimally firm. In the coming season, we are going to plant two more seedlings - Orlinka and Early scarlet Are fast-growing varieties with high yields.

Most modern apple varieties have dwarf properties, this is important, since height is most often not needed, and it is difficult to harvest. The new varieties are compact, disease resistant and at the same time very productive. Imagine a bush literally covered with apples - this is the characteristic modern apple tree.
