Apple tree Persian

The Persian apple tree is another confirmation that the Ural school of selection is achieving good results. It is not too tall, but fast-growing, tree. And therefore, gardeners need to know all the details about such a culture - what is its fertility, what is the taste, how to care for the plantings.

Work on the Persianka apple tree was carried out at the Sverdlovsk experimental station. The authorship of the selection belongs to P. A. Dibrova and L. A. Kotov. The varieties Kungurskoe pineapple and Peach, which have already proven themselves well, were taken as a basis. Variety tests were carried out in 1990. Therefore, we can say that although this is not an old, but already well-proven variety.

The Persian apple tree has a spherical or oval crown. It is dominated by powerful, thick branches. Height can reach 6 m. The bark is colored in a dark brown tone. The formation of the crop occurs on the ringlets.

The leaf blades have a rough surface. Large flowers. They are colored white by default. The size of apples varies widely.

The Persian apple tree is large-fruited. Its fruits are quite transportable. The consumer qualities of the crop deserve special attention. You can store apples for a long time. Another advantage is its excellent resistance to adverse weather conditions. The only downside is excessive exposure to scab.

The tree will not bear fruit too rhythmically. The Persian apple tree is partially self-fertile. It is required to plant it together with other trees of late varieties. Good options are:

• famous Antonovka;
• Pepin Saffron;
• Skryhapel;
• Slav.

In terms of ripening, the variety belongs to the winter group. Fruit ripeness for picking is reached by mid-September. In unfavorable weather conditions, it takes a little longer. The consumer period lasts until March. The first harvest occurs 2 or 3 years after budding; then fruiting will take place without much problem.

You can cultivate such an apple tree:

• in the Urals;
• in the Volga-Vyatka region;
• throughout the territory of Western Siberia, except for the regions of the Far North;
• in all areas with milder climates.

Irregularity in the formation of fruits leads to significant changes in this indicator. Usually the achieved figure is 100 kg per 1 apple tree. This does not even require any serious effort. With strict adherence to agrotechnical standards, a collection of 200 kg is also quite achievable. But you need to pay attention to the characteristics of the crop itself.

Persian fruit has a universal purpose. They are characterized by a cream color. The cover color is thick carmine and a striped blush on the main part of the apple. There are ribs, but they are not too pronounced.

The weight of the apple can be 0.1-0.12 kg. It will be of medium size. The rind is very smooth. It is characterized by a slightly bluish waxy coating. The pulp is creamy, with a coarse-grained structure, it crunches a little when eaten.

An expressive aroma is typical for the Persian woman. The share of dry soluble substances reaches 16.8%.The sugar concentration reaches 12.1%. The keeping quality of fruits is up to 6 months. They can crumble only in windy weather; the tasting score in different cases varies from 3.8 to 4.5 points.

Store the harvested crop in a cool place. It is better to use cardboard boxes or wooden boxes for this. Apples are layered with soft paper. You can transport them completely calmly, using conventional technology. Despite the sugar content, the variety is healthy.

The landing of the Persian, according to some sources, can be done even in the calendar winter, but on condition that low temperatures will not harm the plant. The soil is not too fundamental. However, acidic soil is not suitable for apple trees. In extreme cases, a highly acidic area must be treated with lime.

More often than not, an extreme winter landing is undesirable. Instead, they resort to autumn or spring planting. The seedlings are required to be examined and all foreign inclusions and traces of diseases must be removed. It is necessary to plant an apple tree in spring only in completely thawed soil. The earth is compacted with a shovel - by no means with your feet; in the spring, the seedlings are watered twice a week, in the fall they practically do not need to be watered so that the plant has time to switch to winter mode.

To feed the Persians, it is better to use complex fertilizers. They are introduced at a distance of 60 cm from the central conductor. In summer, it is recommended to focus on nitrogen compounds in order to activate the set of green mass. But in the middle of summer, it is better to switch to phosphorus and potassium mixtures, which increase the quality of fruits and their quantity, as well as improve the tree's immunity and its weather resistance.

The plant is able to tolerate well even the conditions of a harsh winter. In this case, some freezing is still possible. However, the culture quickly recovers and eliminates all negative consequences. Therefore, the actual winter hardiness is very high.You should not be afraid of damage from cold, and only in a critical situation you need to come to the aid of trees.

The immunity of the Persian woman to the overwhelming majority of infections of fruit crops is at an average level. Defeat happens very often. It is especially likely against the background of mass diseases. Scab resistance is completely absent. Specific pests are not described - the danger is posed by the same insects as for other varieties.

The Persian apple tree is unpretentious. They even note that if she is affected by diseases, then she suffers little from them. All that is required is to correctly plant a plant, shape it and properly care for it. Periodic drops in yields are small. The preservation of the fruits is possible for a long time, while the nutrients contained in them are also preserved.
