One tree produces an average of 15-18 kg of fruit.

Apples taste sweet and sour, some note lingonberry notes, pleasant aroma. The pulp is fine-grained, dense, medium juiciness, crunchy. Taste properties are rated on a five-point scale at 4.3-5.

To obtain a bountiful harvest of fragrant apples, the garden must be periodically renewed by planting seedlings of productive and new varieties. The choice of an apple seedling must be approached with all responsibility, because low-quality planting material at best will not take root, and at worst it will die in the prime of years after numerous investments in its health and normal formation.

Growing features

A good harvest largely depends on the planting technology. Before planting, follow a few guidelines.

  • For planting, choose a loamy area that is well lit by the sun. A close occurrence of groundwater is desirable, since it is a rather moisture-loving variety.

  • The optimal time for planting is spring, a period when the earth is already warm enough.

  • Before planting, dig a hole according to the size of the root system, place a seedling there, cover it with fertile soil, tamp and water the area.

In order for the tree to feel good and bear fruit successfully, there are several factors to consider.

  • The apple tree will grow well if the foliage is thinned once a month. It is also important to regularly remove dry and weak branches.

  • It is enough to water the seedling a couple of times a month, and in the dry season - once a week. The tree needs 20-30 liters of water at a time.

  • For normal development, the culture needs the formation of a crown. To do this, in the spring, you need to eliminate all lateral shoots and leave only skeletal branches at 2-3 levels. The trunk should be cut once a year by 20-30% for three years - during this time the tree will form a rounded crown.

Planting apple trees is a very important, troublesome and responsible business. Its survival and full-fledged fruiting depends on the correct procedure. Before planting, you need to choose the right planting material, determine the location and prepare the soil.
A successful grafting helps to solve a whole range of problems, first of all: to get the varieties of interest and save space on the site. The vaccination technique itself is not so difficult and even a novice summer resident can master it. Vaccinations can be done during the entire growing season.
Along with top dressing and pruning necessary for apple trees, watering is also a significant contribution to the correct development of the culture, and therefore to a high yield. Improper watering, carried out inopportunely, without enough water, can bring big trouble to the fruit tree.

Pollination

Aksena is a self-pollinated variety that does not need other pollinators. Experienced summer residents during flowering process the tree with a sweet solution that attracts beneficial pollinating insects.

Top dressing

You need to fertilize the culture three times per season.

  1. In early spring, root additives are relevant, for example, humus, superphosphates, wood ash.

  2. During the flowering period, trees are treated with nitrogen compounds.

  3. After harvesting, the plant is fertilized with potash mixtures and compost.

An important point in caring for an apple tree in the open field is feeding and fertilizing. Top dressing of apple trees begins in early spring and ends in late autumn. Lack of nutrition leads not only to a decrease in the quality and quantity of the crop, but also reduces the immunity of the tree, making it more vulnerable to pests and diseases. And with the autumn procedure, the tree will be able to lay more fruit buds, which will have a positive effect on the future harvest.

Frost resistance

This is a variety with a high level of frost resistance, so it is suitable for growing in regions with severe winters, for example, in the Middle Urals.

Despite the fact that apple trees are considered quite unpretentious plants, they still need proper autumn care. Timely preparation of trees for winter makes them more resistant to winter frosts, as well as increase future yields.

Diseases and pests

Aksena is highly resistant to diseases and pest attacks, the variety is not affected even by such a common apple disease as scab. As a preventive measure, you can whitewash the trunks of young trees with garden paint, this not only protects against harmful insects, but also protects against thermal burns. In addition, some gardeners tie spruce branches around the shrub for the winter to protect the bark from mice and rats.

The apple tree is a popular fruit crop among gardeners. It can be found in many summer cottages. But at the same time, such trees are often affected by various diseases. It is very important to recognize the disease in time and carry out the necessary procedures for a speedy recovery. Otherwise, the fruits will be spoiled, and the tree itself may die altogether.

Fruiting of aging trees, as well as the quality of the harvest, decreases. Therefore, if the tree is aging and there is a need to replace it, you need to think about how to propagate the apple tree so as not to lose the variety. For reproduction of an apple tree, several methods are used: by seeds, layering, eyes and cloning (budding).
