Among the large number of apple varieties and hybrids, the Beauty of Moscow is considered one of the leading. The plant is unpretentious and versatile. The fruits of the variety are distinguished by high taste indicators, suitable for consumption both fresh and canned. The amazing keeping quality allows you to store the fruits in appropriate conditions until spring.

Breeding history of the variety

The originators of the Beauty of Moscow are the breeders of the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University. The famous varieties Welsey and Antonovka were used in the work.

Description of the variety

The beauty of Moscow is a powerful, rather spreading tree 3.5-4 meters high, with a dense, rounded crown painted in gray tones. The brownish branches are skeletal and horizontal. Fruiting occurs at the ends of the shoots of the previous year. Shoots are slightly pubescent, with short internodes, medium-sized lenticels with a convex shape. The branches are covered with dense large leaves with crenate edges.

Features, pros and cons

The apple tree has serious positive qualities, therefore it is of interest to gardeners. Pros:

  • long shelf life;

  • excellent frost resistance;

  • good consumer properties;

  • disease resistance.

The downside can be considered the need to form a crown, since without this it overgrows to the point of obstruction of fresh air.

Ripening and fruiting

The variety is known for its early maturity - seedlings begin to bear fruit as early as 6-7 years after planting. Fruits ripen late - they reach removable maturity at the end of September, in October.

Growing regions

Since the variety was bred specifically for the Moscow region, the apple tree is adapted for the Leningrad region, the Moscow region and central Russia.

Yield

The mass of fruits removed from an adult tree is 160 kg.

Fruits and their taste

Light green fruits, with a blush at the time of removable ripeness, have the correct shape and weight up to 160 grams. Juicy dense pulp has a sweet and sour taste and a pleasant aroma.

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, sunny places are chosen, keeping the distance between the holes at 4-5 meters. When choosing a location, you need to take into account the occurrence of groundwater - they should not be closer than 2 meters from the soil surface. It is better if the place is protected from cold winds.

For planting young seedlings, pits 80x80 cm in size are prepared. The excavated soil is enriched with organic matter and mineral fertilizers. Young trees will need support, so a peg is installed in the hole, to which a fragile trunk can later be tied.

Caring for the plant consists in weeding and watering the trunk circle. Loosening will help oxygenate the soil.

The grown tree will need mandatory sanitary pruning and crown formation, otherwise strong thickening threatens the colonization of parasites and fungi. Sanitary pruning is carried out in spring and autumn, removing damaged, diseased and dried shoots. For the formation of the crown, special knowledge is required, such as the structure of the tree, methods and pruning schemes. It is the formation of the crown that helps to obtain stable yields and protect the health of the tree. Formation begins in the year of planting and the development of the plant is carefully monitored.

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 beauty of Moscow is known as a self-fertile fruit tree, so apple trees with the same flowering period should grow nearby, which can help in pollination. There are many suitable varieties, for example Zhigulevskoe, Grushovka, Antonovka and many others.

Top dressing

In the first couple of years, young trees do not need additional fertilizing if the soil was properly filled during planting. Then the apple tree will need nutrients. Fertilizers with nitrogen are applied in the spring, phosphorus-containing substances in the summer, and organic matter in the fall.

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 variety is distinguished by good frost resistance and tolerates a drop in temperature to minus 32-35 degrees.

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 apple tree has a strong immune system and is well resistant to diseases and pests. Scab is somewhat more dangerous for her, therefore, preventive measures are needed in the form of treatment with insecticides and fungicides. Particular attention must be paid to ongoing surveillance to detect cancer. This is one of the worst scourges for an orchard. Cancer is able to destroy it within two years.

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).
