The versatile apple variety Cinnamon Striped (sometimes referred to as Brown) is well known to most gardeners. The exact history of its origin is unknown, but this does not interfere with successfully cultivating plants in a wide variety of climatic zones, obtaining bountiful harvests. The variety is popular among amateur gardeners, planting material can be easily found in nurseries and private owners.

Description of the variety

The trees are vigorous, can reach 10 m in height, which makes the harvesting process somewhat difficult. The shape of the crown changes with age. In young plants, it is broad-pyramidal or broom-shaped, rather compact. Adult apple trees form a broadly rounded head with slightly drooping branches. The shoots are not thick, have a dark brown tint, are covered with dull leaves of a light green or grayish color, almost without pubescence, but with a characteristic relief surface of the plate. Trees bloom, forming buds of light pink color.

Features, pros and cons

The first mentions of Cinnamon Stripes are found in documents from the first half of the 19th century. The variety was so loved by Moscow summer residents that it repeatedly found itself in literary works, being honored even by the classics, including Chekhov.

The many advantages of culture include the following points:

  • sparseness of the crown;

  • the suitability of apples for consumption from August to the end of December;

  • frost resistance up to -40 degrees;

  • a variety of uses - from cooking jam and compotes to cooking dried fruits;

  • easy care.

There are not so many disadvantages of this variety. These include difficult to predict fruiting, small yields. The barrel is prone to cracking and splitting and may require periodic inspection and treatment. In commercial gardens, the apple tree is practically not used.

Ripening and fruiting

Cinnamon Striped belongs to the category of varieties with periodic fruiting. It begins no earlier than 7-10 years after planting. Ripening in the variety is early autumn, the collection of fruits occurs from the 3rd decade of August. The early maturity is average.

Growing regions

Apple trees of this variety are successfully cultivated throughout Russia. They are grown in the north and northwest, in the Volga region, in the Central Black Earth region.

Yield

The Cinnamon Striped has moderate yields. On average, up to 150 kg of fruit can be harvested from a tree.

Fruits and their taste

The main advantage of the variety is its delicate and light cinnamon aroma. Taste quality is also excellent. Dense yellowish or slightly pink flesh closer to the skin has sweet-sour notes, a distinct spicy shade. The dessert properties of apples are very high.

By their size, the fruits are small or medium, weighing up to 70-90 g. The surface of the skin is always dry, with a shine, its main color is yellow, with a pronounced speckled and striped red cover. On the sunny side, the surface tone can spill over. The shape of the fruit is simple, turnip, rather flattened.

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

Cinnamon Striped grows well in moist fertile soils, but requires maximum space for itself. When grown on a dwarf rootstock, the height of the trunk does not exceed 5 m. Since the fruits are formed at the ends of the branches, in good years it is necessary to provide for the use of supports so that the branches do not break. Planting trees should be done away from buildings and other structures. Constant shading negatively affects the condition of the apple tree.

A place for a garden is set aside on the south side of the site, most of the day is illuminated by the rays of the sun. The distance between trees is maintained in the range of 3 meters or more. This will promote air exchange during the pollination period. You can not place the apple tree in places with a close location of groundwater. It is better to prefer a hill, or create an embankment to exclude waterlogging.

When choosing planting material, it is recommended to give preference to young and healthy plants with a well-developed root system. It is important that they are successfully acclimatized. For planting, choose April or autumn months, after leaf fall. The soil is well drained during preparation. The best soil option is leached chernozem or loam with neutral acidity.

In the process of growing Cinnamon Striped apple trees, you need to pay attention. In the autumn, sanitary pruning of dry or diseased branches is performed. Then the coarse bark is peeled off the trunk - this way the plants are less affected by fungal diseases. If it was not possible to complete the work in the autumn period, you can transfer them to the spring, but until the buds swell.

In case of insufficient precipitation, trees must be watered. Most attention is paid to this at the end of summer. A lack of moisture will prevent the tree from laying enough fruit buds for the next year. Young plants are watered at least 1 time per week, more often on hot 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

Apple trees are not self-fertile. They need pollinating insects. Nearby, it is worth planting trees of other varieties that bloom at the same time as Cinnamon Striped.

Top dressing

The tree develops slowly, but requires increased nutrition, with preference given to organic fertilizers and humus. Apple trees of this variety are fed, regardless of whether they bear fruit in the current year or not. In early spring, nitrogen fertilizers are used to activate the buds. In the fall, nutrients are supplied in the form of phosphorus-potassium complexes, which help the tree to accumulate a reserve of strength for the winter.It is important to avoid over-fertilizing, as in this case the plant can begin to actively grow deciduous mass, instead of bearing fruit.

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 variety demonstrates medium resistance to fungal diseases and scab. But the tree can be threatened by fruit rot, black cancer or downy mildew. Among insects, pests affecting the buds of a plant are of particular danger. It is worth providing insecticidal treatment against the larvae of the weevil, the apple flower beetle.

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).

Review overview

According to most gardeners, Cinnamon Striped is one of the varieties that you should definitely plant on the site. This apple tree easily tolerates the coldest winters without any shelter, takes root well in regions with a harsh climate, even without pruning, it does not thicken the crown too much. Many owners mention that they did not encounter problems with the development of scab, manifestations of other diseases, even when growing a tree for several decades.

Everyone agrees on the taste of the fruit. It is their zesty, unusual taste that makes Cinnamon Striped a favorite among gardeners. Sweet ripe apples lie well in boxes during the first half of winter, do not spoil. Even late fruiting does not spoil the impression. But experienced gardeners mention that with excessive shading, apples become smaller, their color fades, and the aroma almost completely disappears.
