Ripening and fruiting

The beginning of fruiting depends on which stock the plant was grafted into. If a dwarf rootstock was used, then the tree begins to bear fruit in the second year after planting. If the tree is medium-sized, then the harvest can only be harvested in the third or fifth year. The apple tree bears fruit consistently, at a high level, every year. At the same time, the first harvests are not very plentiful.

Apples ripen in the middle of summer, they are massively harvested in August.

This must be done carefully, as there is a risk of damaging the fruit.Only whole, undamaged apples are selected for storage, the stalk is not removed.

Yield

Fruit ripening is quite massive, about 50 kg of high-quality apples can be harvested from one young tree. As for the yield of a mature apple tree, the amount of the yield increases by about 2 times. With good agricultural technology, you can collect up to 100 kilograms of fruit. Fruiting becomes cyclical after 15 years of life.

From the fruits of this variety, you can cook jams and preserves, make juices, mashed potatoes, wine, or use in natural form.

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 optimal time for planting a tree is in the fall. The main thing is to choose a warm time so that the root system is strengthened as well as possible and adapts to the soil. For planting, a depression is formed with a diameter of about 80 cm, at a depth of at least 60 cm. A mixture of ash, compost, manure, potassium and superphosphate is laid out at the bottom of the hole. The seedling is set in a hole, sprinkled with soil, rammed and watered abundantly. The near-trunk zone should be mulched so that moisture does not leave too actively.

It is very important to choose the right seedlings for agricultural technology to bear fruit. The planting material must be adapted to the climate conditions of the region so that winter is well tolerated. You need to pay attention to the following nuances:

  • strong roots should be well developed, not overdried, fibrous roots are present in small quantities;

  • the trunk of the seedling is straight, damage and growths should not be present;

  • the advantage of one-year-old seedlings over two-year-olds and three-year-olds is obvious, the formation of the crown is easier.

It is also important to follow the basic rules of planting:

  • choose a lighted area, ideally in the eastern zone of the garden, where the sun is present in the morning and afternoon;

  • be sure to fertilize the soil when planting;

  • the inoculation should be located 6 cm above the ground.

Pollinators should also be taken care of, as the variety is self-fertile. In the garden, it is optimal to plant trees of the varieties Melba, Pink anise, Papirovka, Glory to the winners. In addition to the competent choice of a seedling and the correct planting, a number of agrotechnical measures must be observed.

  • Moisturizing. In the summer, you need to moisturize on a regular basis. Water as the soil dries, but avoid excess moisture. Stagnant water destroys the root system.

  • Crown formation and pruning. The first pruning is carried out immediately after planting, the trunk and shoots are reduced to buds, the foliage is cut using a pruner or special scissors. This is done in order to enhance the growth of the rhizome. In the first years, the apple tree needs pruning so that the crown takes the correct shape. Subsequently, sanitary pruning is sufficient, during which all shoots of the damaged, dry type are removed. The slice is processed using a var.

  • Feeding. Once a season, the apple tree needs to be fertilized with superphosphates, ash, humus. Nutrients are applied before flowering occurs. And before frost, a composition with potassium, phosphorus is introduced.Don't forget to dig up the soil to improve breathability.

  • Preparing for winter. To prepare the apple tree for the winter period, you need to water the tree, feed it, cut it off in a sanitary way. A young tree needs to be covered with a non-woven material. In addition, these actions will save Candy from burns and rodent attacks. It is impossible to paint the trunk with lime in the first seasons.

Pests and diseases

This variety has a good immune system, but its resistance to scab is very low. In no case should you exclude prevention. For this, Bordeaux liquid solutions are used in the spring. The disease can be treated with copper oxychloride - spraying is carried out twice. In the spring, the tree is cleaned of dead bark along with insects. Foliage can be worked with karbofos to scare off pests. In autumn, the yellowed foliage is treated with urea, the aphids will be scared away by onion and garlic extracts.

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 great trouble to the fruit tree.
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).
