Isetskoe later

Apple-tree Isetskoe later - this is another brainchild of L.A. Kotov, created on the basis of hybridization of the Ural apple-trees of the Shchedraya and Yantar varieties on the basis of the Sverdlovsk experimental gardening station in 1962-72. Recommended for growing in the Volgo-Vyatka and Ural regions. The variety is winter and this is valuable, since winter apples have a longer shelf life. In this variety, the fruits, ripening in mid-September, can persist until February-March.

The tree is distinguished by high winter hardiness, as well as medium drought, - and heat resistance, it also copes with scab on an average. A mature tree can grow up to 4-5 m in height. Isetskoe later differs in average early maturity, since it begins to bear fruit in the 5th year of life. The yield is above average, the character is not sharply periodic.

Apple tree of medium vigor, with a round, medium-dense crown. Fruit size is medium and below average, weight can reach 120 g maximum, on average - about 75 g. The shape of apples is round-truncated-conical, slightly ribbed. The skin is light yellowish green, sometimes with small stripes of pinkish blush. Fruits with white, medium density, pulp, coarse-grained and slightly juicy, with a pleasant sweet-sour taste and a moderately pronounced aroma.

Important! Isetskoe later refers to self-infertile varieties, therefore, pollinating varieties with the same ripening period and the beginning of flowering (mid-late May) must be planted on the site. Pollinators are planted at a distance of no more than 50 m from the apple tree

This apple variety is less resistant to scab and therefore requires additional processing in wet years. You should also monitor the condition of the crown, avoiding thickening, which limits the access of fresh air to the fruits and leads to the development of the disease.

Isetsky Dawn

The apple tree Rassvet Isetsky was also bred by L.A. Kotov at the Sverdlovsk breeding station. Ripening period - summer, the harvest can be harvested at the end of August. Fruits are stored for only about 3 weeks.

The tree is medium-sized, winter hardiness is quite high, and there is also an immunity to scab. Differs in high productivity, large fruits and their high taste. The average weight of apples ranges from 100-120 g, and the maximum can reach 140 g. The peel is yellow, with pink stripes of blush. The creamy pulp has a coarse-grained structure and a pleasant sweet and sour taste. The apples are very juicy.

The best varieties and their characteristics

Despite the fact that violets can have different colors, white flowers are in great demand among flower growers, since they are distinguished by their unusual beauty and grace. The most common varieties of such plants include the following species.

"EK-White Queen". This type of violet is distinguished by snow-white flowers with wavy petals. It looks impressive and elegant on the windowsills of houses. The rosette of the plant is standard, the diameter of the buds does not exceed 7 cm. Peduncles are long, so they cannot hold lush flowers on themselves and often droop under them. Flowering lasts up to two months, with each bud living for no more than two weeks. A lot of them are formed, therefore, when the flowers bloom completely, the rosette is completely covered by them. The rosette of the "White Queen" is rather large, reaches a diameter of 25 cm (it grows slowly), violet leaves have a characteristic green color and a shiny surface. The foliage shape of this type of plant is pointed.

In addition to the above-described violets, the following varieties deserve special attention: "LiK-White Cradle", "VaT-Snow White", "RM-White Sails", "RS-Belaya Magic", "NK-Belaya Envy", Alan's White Feather, Lunar Lily white, "LE-White Peony", "EK-White Mustang", "AV-White Carnation", "LE-Tamara", "LE-White Swan", "NK-White Poppy", "RS-Annabelle", "AN-White Naliv", "RS-Belinda", Mac 's White Water, "RM-White Asters". There are also unusual plant species in which snow-white flowers have purple, yellow and pink borders.

Care

Plum variety White Medovaya does not require special care.It is enough to carry out the standard agrotechnical manipulations necessary for the fruit tree in time so that it consistently pleases with a good harvest.

Watering

Abundant watering of Belaya Medova is necessary only in the first 2-3 months after planting. To do this, the plum is watered at least once every two weeks, using 2-3 buckets of water. In the future, it is necessary to maintain the moisture content of the earth around the tree during the flowering period and at the beginning of fruit growth.

In the second half of summer, it is not necessary to water abundantly in order to prevent additional growth of shoots. It should be borne in mind that White Honey Plum tolerates drought well, therefore it does not require frequent watering.

Pruning

The plum variety Belaya Medovaya must be pruned every year. This procedure should not be neglected, since it is not only important for the ripening of high-quality fruits, but also is the prevention of the development of diseases.

Pruning is performed in early spring before the start of sap flow. In the first few years, they form a crown, removing branches that thicken the center and interfere with the growth of stronger shoots. In the future, they carry out sanitary and rejuvenating pruning, removing damaged and old non-fruiting branches.

Top dressing

In the first and second year, there is no need to feed the tree. The fertilizers that were applied during planting will be enough for him. In the future, the plum variety Belaya Medovaya requires feeding several times a season:

• in early spring - nitrogen fertilizers;
• before flowering - organic matter + superphosphate + potassium (brought in for digging);
• after harvesting - superphosphate + potassium.

Wintering

Honey plum is frost-resistant. However, in northern latitudes, it is recommended to wrap a young tree with a covering material so that it can better endure the winter. To preserve the root system in late autumn, the trunk circle is mulched with a layer of 10-15 cm with sawdust or peat.

Features of the Belaya River (Agidel)

It is the left, the largest tributary of the Kama. The total length of the channel is 1430 km, the most convenient for rafting are 233 km of the river (from the village of Kaga to the Yumaguzinsky reservoir). As a rule, the right bank of the Belaya is higher than the left. Several dozen tributaries flow into it, including the Ufa (Karaidel) River.

In the wide floodplain of the Belaya River, beginning behind the Yumaguzinskoye reservoir near the village of Verkhnebikkuzino (smartphone 52.997630, 56.528490; gps 52 ° 59'51.5 ″ N 56 ° 31'42.6 ″ E), along the channel there are many oxbows, bends and branches, where it is easy for a water manager to get lost ... Therefore, tourist rafting ends in front of the reservoir.

The Belaya-Agidel, flowing in a wide channel from the south, owes its name to the traditional beliefs of the Bashkirs about the “black” north and “white” south. Although the Agidel water is lighter than the Kama water, which is clearly noticeable at the place of their confluence. Closer to the source, the White River is mountainous, and further - a wide plain.

Rafting on Belaya is available for beginners and family watermen, only minimal training is required. Rafting season on Agidel - from the beginning of June to the end of August.

Agricultural technology: what to look for

Caring for yellow garden strawberries is simple, the basic techniques are standard, as when growing red varieties. The only problem is the absence or a small number of whiskers in plants, which is why such species are propagated with seedlings purchased in nurseries or grown on their own from seeds.

Growing seedlings

When sowing with seeds, seedlings are first grown at home. The difficulty is that strawberry seeds are very small, sprout slowly and give tiny sprouts-strings. To obtain high-quality seedlings, the seeds are disinfected, mixed with sand, sown without sprinkling earth on top.

Mixtures of peat, humus, calcined river sand are suitable as nutrient soil. Sowing dates - March.

Seeds are sown on the surface of a moistened soil, covered with glass and removed to a dark place for germination. Approximate time is 30-40 days. As soon as sprouts appear, the boxes are rearranged to a lighted place.

Watered over the ground, slightly moistening it with settled warm water. They dive only when thickened plantings are obtained. If seedlings grow rarely, then a transplant is not required. It is recommended to highlight the seedlings, extending the daylight hours to 13-14 hours. As soon as a stable warmth comes, the seedlings are transferred to a permanent place. In the early days, the plants are slightly shaded from the bright sun. It is advisable to accustom the strawberries to new conditions in a couple of weeks, bringing them out to the balcony or greenhouse for hardening.

Outdoor care

Seedlings are planted, maintaining a distance between holes of 25-30 cm, from one row to another - 30 cm. Yellow-fruited varieties are compact in size, do not require large areas.

Further care includes:

• weeding;
• loosening (after watering and rains);
• irrigation (depending on weather conditions);
• fertilization (complex formulations are recommended). Top dressing is applied 2-3 times per season.

It is advisable to mulch the plantings with peat, hay, sawdust. The use of black agrofibre or film is effective when the seedlings are planted in cuts on the material. In this case, the strawberry remains clean, the care of the plants is simplified (no need to loosen and weed the beds).

The harvest is removed as it ripens, trying not to linger with the harvest. This leads to the rapid formation of new inflorescences and an increase in the yield of varieties.

There is nothing difficult in growing the as yet rare yellow garden strawberry. However, it can hardly be called exotic, since many gardeners have appreciated the "advantages" of these varieties and willingly grow them next to ordinary red strawberries.

The type of root system is determined by the characteristics of the rootstock:

• vigorous ones have a powerful central core;
• undersized (dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstocks) - a highly branched root system that does not have a central core.

Yield

White filling is a fruitful variety. With good care, the tree is simply strewn with fruits. Average yield - 80 kg per tree. If you provide the tree with ideal conditions, it can produce up to 200 kg of apples.

The first apples are harvested in the fifth year of planting a two-year-old seedling. Fruiting as the tree matures acquires a certain frequency.

Self-fertility and pollinating varieties

The variety is self-fertile - it needs pollinators. For pollination of White filling, it is recommended to use:

• Antonovka;
• Ottawa;
• "Medunitsa";
• "Grushovka Moscow";
• "Candy";
• “Golden Kitayka”;
• "Cypress";
• "Early pear";
• "Mantet".

If you do not plant a pollinator nearby, there will be few ovaries on the tree, and their size will be less than normal. As pollinators, mainly varieties are selected, the flowering of which coincides in time with the flowering of the White filling.

Winter hardiness

The variety is winter-hardy, able to withstand severe winters, keeping the ovaries. It also survives spring frosts safely for the future harvest. The winter hardiness of the variety is not enough for growing in the northern regions - here the cultivation of White filling is impractical.
