The dream of any gardener is an apple tree that will not require a lot of care, while at the same time it will delight you with an early ripening period and a stable harvest. The Dachnaya variety is just one of these.

Breeding history of the variety

The Sverdlovsk Experimental Gardening Station was engaged in the breeding of this apple tree. The following varieties were used as a source material for crossing:

  • Isetsky;

  • Melba;

  • Dream;

  • Candy.

Description of the variety

Trees grow with a wide-pyramidal crown, which becomes rounded over time. The branches have a shade of grayish-brown-yellow bark. They grow upward, but when a crop appears on them, they go a little to the sides.

Shoots are formed straight, their thickness is average. The color is brown, there is a slight pubescence.

Features, pros and cons

From the features of the described variety, strong growth can be distinguished at the beginning, while the plant is young. Each year, new branches are extended upwards by half a meter. Over the years, this process slows down, as the crown begins to form. Another feature is the unexpected decline in the harvest.

Of the advantages of this variety, one can single out not only good frost resistance, but also resistance to diseases such as scab, as well as early maturity.

Disadvantages are relative, for some they are not disadvantages. For example, loose flesh, if viewed from the side of a professional assessment, is always a minus.

Ripening and fruiting

Dachnaya's fruits ripen by mid-August. The first crop can be harvested only 4 or 5 years after planting the plant in the ground.

Growing regions

Most often, Dacha is grown in the Urals, but it can also be found in other regions of our country.

Yield

Dachnaya belongs to high-yielding varieties. According to gardeners, about 20 kg can be harvested from a young plant. Further, the yield increases.

Fruits and their taste

The fruits of the Dacha apple tree are intended to be eaten fresh. They are easy to identify by their monochromatic pale yellow color. There is no top blush, but sometimes a slight tan can be seen on the peel.

The apples are tall and have a rounded-conical shape. We can say that they are symmetrical. There is a slight ribbing. The weight of one Dachnaya apple varies from 95 to 110 grams.

The peel of the fruit is dry, but smooth. The apples themselves are sweet, with sourness. The tasters rated the fruits of this variety on a solid five.

Inside they have a coarse-grained, creamy flesh. It is characterized by looseness and moderate juiciness.

Fruits can lie up to 30 days after harvest.

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

For planting Dachnaya, they choose a good sunny area, where the sun is all day, especially in the morning.On such a land, not only the soil but also the foliage warms up well and dries out, therefore the risk of fungal diseases is reduced.

Apple trees require an optimal pH (6.0-6.5) and rich, well-drained soil. It is best to place trees on a hill. Such a landing provides not only the necessary amount of sun around, but also good air circulation.

The best time to plant in the south is autumn and winter. In the north, it is early spring. Soak the roots in water for at least 30 minutes before planting to rehydrate. If the roots look very dry, soak them for one day.

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

This is not a self-fertile variety, therefore, in order to get a harvest, another apple tree will need to be planted on the site - Anis Sverdlovsky.

Top dressing

Fertilizers play an important role for Dachnaya. Foliar dressing with urea (46% nitrogen) has been successfully used for a long time. It is brought in starting from 7-10 days after the petals fall. Top dressing is done no more than 3 times with an interval of about 10 days. Do not apply later than the end of July, so that the survival rate of the tree does not suffer.

Micronutrient or macronutrient deficiencies can adversely affect the overall harvest. Boron deficiency is perhaps the most common problem among gardeners. Lack of zinc, manganese and iron also appears, but not so often. This happens especially in alkaline or highly dispersed soils. It is best to use complex fertilizers.

However, don't overdo it. With Dachnaya, an excess amount of these elements in the soil will cause more damage than good. Fertilizers with a large amount of microelements are not used, unless a special soil analysis has revealed the need, or visible symptoms have not appeared. For example, with an excess of boron, apples ripen earlier and fall off, but at the same time they become toxic to humans.

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.
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

The scab does not infect this cultivar, but it does not have sufficient resistance to powdery mildew. In the fight against the problem, infected branches are removed at the beginning of the season. If the lesions are large, a fungicide should be used.

The disease spreads when the buds open in the spring. This fungus does not kill the apple tree, but suppresses fertilization, which leads to a decrease in yield. This is the main reason why early prevention is so important.

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).
