Ripening and fruiting

Kuibyshev Jubilee enters the fruiting phase in the 4th season, but it is annual. Refers to a group of crops with an average ripening period.

When planting an apricot tree on your site, you need to know about the features of its fruiting. The apricot begins to bear fruit at the age of two to four years after planting in a permanent place in the garden and bears fruit steadily up to 25-30 years. The tree's yield peaks at the age of five to six years.

Yield

Six- and seven-year-old apricot trees of the crop under consideration bear 12-15 kg of fruits, while the plant reaches the maximum yield at the age of 12-13 years, and this is 40-50 kg. On average, the productivity of the crop is 60 kg / ha.

Growing regions

According to the tolerance, the culture is zoned for the Middle Volga region. This is a vast territory, including the republics of Mordovia, Tatarstan, as well as Penza, Samara, Ulyanovsk regions.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

Growing and care

Apricot trees of the considered variety will bear fruit better and more stable on any hill or hill, they develop very well near large rivers. In such places, there is less chance of damage to flowers and ovaries by recurrent spring frosts. According to the observations of the originators, in the Volga region, especially in the Sok River valley, the yield of the Kuibyshev Jubilee increases three times.

Formative pruning will be necessary for young plants, and during the period of stable fruiting, a maintenance annual one is repeated. Rejuvenating pruning will be necessary for apricots that have reached a certain age. During it, skeletal and semi-skeletal branches are removed.

It is necessary to correctly determine the timing of vaccination and choose the right stock.
Annual pruning of apricot is necessary for the correct formation of the crown of a young seedling, rejuvenation of old trees and preservation of the yield and quality of the fruit. Regular pruning is carried out not only in spring and autumn, but also in summer.
