Apple tree Lada is one of the most attractive varieties of domestic (Krasnoyarsk) selection. Despite its already rather long history, it remains relevant. And therefore, accurate knowledge of the nuances of this culture can do a good job for gardeners.

Breeding history of the variety

Work on the Lada apple tree began in the 1970s, crossing the Laletino and Papirovka varieties. The first seedling was received in 1973. The culture was taken out at the Krasnoyarsk fruit-growing station at the Siberian Research Institute of Horticulture. The variety was tested for a long time, and only in 1989 was it entered into the State Register. But there is no doubt about the possibility of growing such a crop without major problems.

Description of the variety

Despite its compact dimensions, Lada gives decent yields. Such an apple tree functions stably even under very difficult conditions. Harvested crops can be transported over a long distance. The variety is suitable for both individual farming and large industrial areas. The tree can grow up to 5 m in height.

Features, pros and cons

The negative property of Lada is its susceptibility to scab. This happens when the crown is very thickened, if the weather is damp. The small size of apples is also considered a disadvantage by some people. But these problems are balanced out:

  • compactness;

  • fertility;

  • long shelf life of fruits;

  • the versatility of the use of fruits.

Other nuances of culture:

  • rounded crown shape;

  • large white flowers with a pleasant smell;

  • drooping branches;

  • slightly curved, rounded in plan shoots of red-brown color with an edge;

  • green-gray foliage with a concave plate.

Ripening and fruiting

The plant belongs to the early-growing group. Under favorable conditions, fruiting begins at 3 years. But a full collection is possible only from the 4th year and later. Removable ripeness begins at the end of September. You can store fruits from 90 to 150 days.

Growing regions

The variety was initially zoned for Khakassia and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. But this means that it can be grown even more in more convenient areas. There are excellent prospects for gardeners:

  • Moscow region;

  • Volga region;

  • Central Black Earth Region;

  • south of Russia;

  • Of the Far East.

According to the latest information, the variety was zoned into:

  • forest-steppes of the Krasnoyarsk Territory;

  • Khakassia;

  • Tove;

  • Buryatia;

  • Irkutsk region.

Yield

Information on this matter is as follows:

  • four-year-old trees yield 2 kg of apples;

  • at the age of 7 years, the collection reaches 13.7 kg;

  • An 11-year-old apple tree gives 34 kg;

  • for the 12th year of development, the tree is capable of supplying summer residents with 45 kg of fruit.

Fruits and their taste

The surface of the fruit has a simple whitish color. All of it also differs in a blurred striped blush. The fruit has a flat-round shape. Other important properties:

  • weight on average 40 g;

  • large, perfectly visible subcutaneous points;

  • white juicy pulp;

  • moderately pronounced aroma;

  • keeping quality from 120 to 150 days;

  • the proportion of dry matter is 17.8%;

  • sugar concentration 12%;

  • the concentration of vitamin C is 18 mg per 100 g.

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 variety has no special requirements for planting. The distance to the nearest walls and similar obstacles should be at least 4 m. Then the Lada root system will not create any negative impacts. It is very important that the site is completely flat and smooth so that the groundwater is deep. The sun should illuminate the tree from all directions, but it needs protection from the winds.

The disembarkation date is chosen according to the actual weather. In areas with particularly severe winters, spring planting is advisable. Under more favorable conditions, it is possible to land a Lada in winter. The main thing is to be attentive to the timing. Important: the seedlings must be purchased in the region where they will be grown.

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 apple tree Lada is not capable of pollinating itself. For fertilization, it is recommended to plant it nearby:

  • Lantern;

  • Zhivinka;

  • Pepinchik Krasnoyarsk;

  • Alyonushka.

Top dressing

The first fertilization is done at the same time as planting. Further, the tree will use this resource for 2 years. For the third and subsequent years, the scheme looks like this:

  • nitrogen mixtures are used in spring;

  • complex formulations are used in the summer;

  • in the fall, the time for organic matter comes (all this can be brought in for digging or with watering).

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).
