The fruits of the Era apple tree can be a tasty and pleasant gift for a diligent gardener. But it is necessary to assess in advance the yield and frost resistance of the plant so that it does not bring unpleasant surprises in return. In addition to the peculiarities of cultivation, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the prehistory of the culture.

Breeding history of the variety

The Era apple tree is a rather rare phenomenon in our area - the result of Swiss selection. The main work on the creation of culture was done by Markus Kobelt. The variety also has an alternative name - Redlove Era. The development is very new and has not yet fully revealed its capabilities. It has already been stated that it has excellent characteristics.

Description of the variety

The plant is distinguished by its expressive versatility. Its fruits are well transported. The era is a fast-growing culture. It is characterized by:

  • moderately large crown;

  • reddish foliage;

  • dark cherry shoots;

  • dark crimson color of flowers;

  • a number of advantages when growing.

The growth rate is moderately high. The Era apple tree is characterized by long branches. They are arched and dark gray in color. Shoots are slightly pubescent. Other nuances:

  • mixed formation of fruits (on biennial shoots and last year's growth);

  • ovoid foliage;

  • glossy sheen of the sheet.

Features, pros and cons

No special negative qualities have yet been revealed in this kind of apple tree. But it was found that she:

  • quickly begins to bear fruit;

  • the apples obtained are distinguished by a decent taste;

  • the tree is immune to scab;

  • resists cold weather well;

  • looks attractive.

Like other "red-meat" varieties, the Era apple tree comes from the wild-growing apple tree of Nedzwiecki, but far surpassed it. Superiority concerns:

  • early maturity;

  • consumer qualities;

  • collection amount.

Ripening and fruiting

You can expect the first fruits as early as 3 years of cultivation. Even among early-growing apple trees, Era stands out favorably. Apples reach removable ripeness in the last third of September. It is worth noting that now there are already several subspecies of this culture. And in different subtypes, the parameters can differ significantly.

Yield

The volume of apple picking is quite impressive. The exact figures have not yet been given in the sources. This is probably due to insufficient cultivation experience in various localities. You can save the harvest in any household refrigerator.

Fruits and their taste

Era apples have a rounded shape. They are characterized by a sweet and sour taste, the components of which are harmonious. Optimal consumer parameters are reached 20-27 days after harvest. The mass of a single fruit is on average 160 g. You can save the fruit until the beginning of December.

The peel of Era apples is colored in a dark crimson tone. It has a white line in the middle. The content of antioxidants is 30-40% higher than in ordinary apples. When cut, the pulp will not oxidize. The red color of the juice is characteristic, which is not lost even after heat treatment.

You can use Era apples:

  • fresh;

  • in fruit salads;

  • after drying;

  • in the form of applesauce.

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

All red apple trees should be planted in very moist, nutrient-rich soil. Dark gray and gray forest land is preferred. It is even better to use black soil. Experts recommend choosing areas where the concentration of carbonates (at a depth of no more than 0.8 m) is limited to 10-12%.

Other requirements:

  • deepening seedlings up to the grafting site;

  • hole decoration with bumpers 100-150 mm high;

  • watering 1 time in 10-14 days.

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 Era variety is self-fertile. Artificial pollination is mandatory. As a pollinator, any apple tree is useful, the ripening dates of which are the same. There is no need for careful selection.

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.

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).
