Apple-tree Spring

Having their own dacha and wanting to have apples, each person needs to calculate when there will be harvest days, and when "empty". After all, apple trees tend to bear fruit in a year, and some less often. However, there are varieties that bear fruit every year. Further, we will talk about one of these - the Rodnikovaya apple tree.

Breeding history

This apple variety was bred specifically to counteract the main disease that most fruitful trees suffer from - scab. It copes with its task perfectly, it is facilitated by a special Vm gene introduced into the variety. Thanks to this, the variety has become popular among novice gardeners and is often used for a few plantings inside the yard.

The tree is of medium height, namely: about 3 meters. The crown is slightly round, similar to the moon when it is not obscured by the shadow of the earth. The tree is versatile, which allows it to survive and bear fruit even in highly clayey or stony ground. However, it needs quite a lot of water. Given the vitality of the apple tree, it can not only be planted almost anywhere, but less often it becomes infected with most diseases of fruiting plants. This is a favorite variety of not very active owners who do not have the strength to intensively care for trees.

The vitality of the tree is one of the most important advantages, as is its annual fruitfulness. Due to the fact that the variety was bred specifically for planting in Siberia and the Urals, the frost resistance of the tree reaches -35 degrees. This allows him to survive in the harsh conditions of these regions.

The disadvantages include such a subjective thing as the taste of an apple, it goes into sweetness. Not everyone is satisfied with the fact that the fruits do not fall from the trees, but remain on it.

Ripening takes place at the end of summer, because the hottest and at the same time the last days of summer saturate the fruits with sweetness and are covered with blush. You can pick apples in September, while you have to pick them yourself, due to the fact that they fall only by the middle of winter. It is logical that they are already unusable by this time. You can eat and cook from them from the moment the apples are removed from the tree until mid-winter, namely: until January. After this period, few of the fruits remain in good condition. However, by this time, you can prepare a wide variety of dishes and preparations, because the quantity and quality of the harvest allows it.

From a tree, you can collect from 55 to 140 kg of fruits. The amazing fruiting is supported by the large size of the apples, each weighing 150 grams. The tree begins to bear fruit after 4-5 years from the moment of planting. Having planted several dozen of these trees, you can safely open not just your own tray in the local market, but apply for a small company. This will be especially useful for enterprising pensioners who, by retirement age, can create their own business selling apples.

Large apples of the color of a yellowed field of millet, which is covered with stripes or easily wrapped in blush.The taste is reminiscent of soft-sugar apple tea, which was harvested with incredible love and trepidation. However, it is firmly brewed, because the slight sourness creates balance, which gives harmony and pacification with every bite. Small seeds do not spoil the bouquet of taste, because most of the fruits are filled with pulp. The very same pulp is pale white, sometimes goes into creamy shades, this is often due to the predominance of sugar in the fruit itself. Everything is wrapped in a smooth and dry skin, and this allows the apples to lie for a long time, while not spoiling. Even the most picky critics give some of the highest ratings - 4.5 out of 5. However, tastes are extremely subjective, what critics may like, the public may not like, and vice versa.

Since the apple tree itself must be planted in the spring, before the foliage appears, or in the fall, before frost, the water content of the soil must also be taken into account, because groundwater can destroy the tree. It is required to water the tree itself several times a season. Watering is required after the last frost, but before the first leaves. The second is a few weeks before the start of fruit formation. The last time you need to water after harvest, before the first frost, preferably a few weeks before. After all, if you water it just before frost, the tree may die due to increased moisture inside. You need to watch the branches of the tree, because those of them that may not bear fruit consume a lot of nutrients, which, in turn, could go to fruit. In the same way, you can control the height and width of the seedling itself and an already mature tree.

The Rodnikovaya apple tree is deservedly one of the most popular, because it will be an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Unique taste, high yield and low demanding soil - all these are the advantages of the variety. Suitable not only for planting in the garden, but also for planting in the courtyard of a residential building. It is the best among low-growing trees, especially in the ratio of the number of fruits and the demanding nature of the tree.
