Arkadik is a viable tree with high disease resistance. If you provide the apple tree with proper care, then it will quickly grow.

Breeding history of the variety

The variety appeared thanks to the painstaking work of the breeder V.V. Kichin. They were able to appreciate it in the southern region of our country, where it shows a high yield.

Description of the variety

A mature tree can reach a height of 10 meters. This is a fast-growing species, which is advised to grow on dwarf rootstocks, then the maximum height will be 3-4 meters. The crown is small, but the plant itself is vigorous.

A lot of shoots grow on the apple tree, on which ringlets are formed. Subsequently, apples are formed on them. Spreading branches. The foliage has an elongated shape, similar to an egg. The shade of the greenery is bright. Leaves are smooth, slightly pointed.

Features, pros and cons

This variety was created specifically for growing in the middle lane of our country. It is worth highlighting the advantages of this type:

  • the harvest is rich;
  • trees grow quickly;
  • fruits have a pleasant taste;
  • the tree blooms for a long time;
  • excellent disease resistance;
  • the variety is undemanding to care;
  • trees begin to bear fruit already in the third year.

Among the disadvantages is the crumbling of fruits if they are not picked from the tree in time. The shelf life of the fruit is short.

Ripening and fruiting

The early summer plant reaches removable maturity in mid-August. The consumer period lasts from August to the end of September.

Growing regions

This variety is successfully grown in the northern regions of Russia. It is also popular in the southern part of the country.

Yield

On average, an apple tree of this variety can produce from 80 to 100 kilograms of ripe fruits. The largest yield per tree was 340 kg.

Fruits and their taste

The fruits are elongated in shape and have a regular oblong shape. The weight of one apple is 250-300 grams. The color is pale pink. The skin of apples is thin, but highly dense. The taste of the fruits of the described tree can be characterized as sweet and sour, dessert. Sweetness prevails, sourness is poorly expressed.

The pulp is not very dense, white. Children love the fine texture and juiciness of these fruits. The apples are oily and very aromatic.

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

The tree should be planted where it will receive enough sun and where it will have good air circulation and good soil drainage. It is especially important that the apple trees are planted where the early morning sun comes out on them, which will dry the dew from the leaves. This approach will help reduce the number of diseases that thrive in humid environments.

Before planting a seedling, the roots should be soaked in water for half an hour. While they are soaking, dig a hole wide and deep enough to accommodate the entire root system. The roots of the tree are straightened and only after that the soil is poured.

On grafted trees, it is necessary that the grafting compounds are above ground level.

Before completely filling the planting hole, add a couple of buckets of water to it. Sandy soils drain faster, so trees planted in such soil may need to be watered more frequently. The soil should be moist, but not soggy.

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

The self-fertile variety is very beneficial in areas where there is no pollinator. Even if the weather conditions do not allow the insects to fly, fruit ovaries will still appear on the tree. If possible, at least one tree of a different variety should be planted on the site for greater productivity. Any option that blooms at the same time as Arkadik will do.

Top dressing

The following fertilizer options are suitable for Arkadik.

  • Potassium. Apple trees use large amounts of potassium for fruit production. If the tree shows signs of potassium deficiency, use about a kilogram of fertilizer per 9 square meters of area.
  • Calcium. The use of calcium in the form of lime, which also raises the pH of the soil, is required regularly. As practice shows, the soil under fruit trees becomes more acidic over time. The use of lime is a prophylactic agent. It is required to make the composition for two years.
  • Bor. Boron deficiency is another common problem in apple trees. In small growing areas, boron is used every 3-4 years. A half pound of borax will satisfy the need for this element.
  • Nitrogen. Nitrogen is generally the only nutrient required for infertile apple trees, so it is often present in higher amounts than other nutrients in finished fertilizers. But it is used only when a deficiency is detected.
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

The frost resistance of this variety is high, it is -35 degrees. The tree is not afraid of recurrent frosts and even a thaw. Even after a harsh winter, the tree fully develops.

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

Arkadik has high resistance to scab and other diseases and pests. However, there are a number of diseases that can occur on apple trees from time to time. They can cause leaf stains, mold, root and trunk rot. To reduce the likelihood of injury, it is important to ensure that the plant is planted in well-drained soil with good air circulation around the trees.

The right pruning at the right time of the year is essential. A little care of the seedlings and preventive treatment with fungicides and insecticides solves many problems.

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).
