Without apple trees, not a single garden or suburban area is formed, because apples are very useful and loved by children and adults. When choosing an apple variety for planting, the gardener takes into account, first of all, the abundance of the harvest and the level of complexity of care - the easier the better. That is why the Marat Busurin apple tree is popular among gardeners and farmers who grow fruit crops for commercial purposes.

Breeding history of the variety

This kind of apple tree appeared as a result of crossing the American donor SR0523 with the Autumn Joy cultivar. The work was carried out by the breeders of VSTISP, headed by Viktor Valerianovich Kichina. The variety was bred in 1982, and entered into the State Register in 2001. Despite its young age, the Marat Busurin variety has come to the taste of many gardeners and farmers.

Description of the variety

The apple tree Marat Busurin is a medium-sized tree, reaching a height of 3 meters, with a wide-round, moderately dense crown. According to biologists, this species is a natural semi-dwarf with an average crown development energy. The tree is characterized by the departure of skeletal branches at an angle of 90 degrees, so the crown looks magnificent, despite the average thickening of the leaves.

Features, pros and cons

This variety has many characteristics thanks to which the fruit crop has gained popularity and is massively grown on many farmlands. Among the advantages, it is worth pointing out the abundant yield, excellent taste of the fruits, unpretentious care, resistance to low temperatures and multiple diseases, as well as the ability to endure transportation without loss.

Among the disadvantages of culture, only some of the difficulties of care can be noted - pruning and shaping the crown of a tree.

Ripening and fruiting

The flowering period of the tree occurs in late spring and lasts 10-15 days. At this time, it becomes covered with large white-pink flowers and emits an incredibly pleasant aroma. The early maturity of the variety is high. The first fruits can be tasted only for 3-4 years of growth and development of the tree, but then every year the quality of fruiting will increase. An active fruiting cycle occurs at the end of August and lasts 2-3 weeks.

Growing regions

Initially, this apple species was created for mass planting in the Moscow region, however, due to its high frost resistance and quick adaptation to different soils, seedlings were grown in the northern regions. Today, the Marat Busurin apple tree grows successfully in different climatic zones of Russia and some CIS countries.

Yield

The yield of the dessert variety is very high. On average, about 130 kg of apples can be harvested per season from an adult tree under favorable conditions and proper care. The frequency of the tree is annual, without gaps, and the quality of apples gets better over the years.

Fruits and their taste

Dessert apples Marat Busurin are very tasty, somewhat reminiscent of Antonovka, but more intense, sweet and sour. The shape of the fruit is regular, round, with a weakly pronounced ribbing at the base. Fruit color is green-yellow with blurred purple-red stripes. Thanks to the dense, but non-rigid skin, apples are transportable and retain their presentation for a long time. The pulp of the fruit is white and juicy.The size of the fruits is average - 100-180 grams, however, there are larger apples weighing up to 250 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

Despite the unpretentiousness, the site for planting seedlings must be chosen carefully. The soil should be fertile, breathable, well moisturized and fertilized. The site should be illuminated by the sun and protected from drafts and strong winds. Before planting a seedling, it is recommended to clear the soil of weeds, dig it up so that the soil is filled with oxygen, and then only prepare the holes for planting.

Planting an apple tree can be done in the spring, after the soil warms up well, or in the fall, about a month before frost, so that the root system has time to adapt and prepare for winter. Healthy one to two year old seedlings are suitable for planting.

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 fruit crop is self-pollinated, that is, there are both female and male inflorescences on the tree, therefore it does not need donor trees.

Top dressing

Fertilizing a tree is one of the comprehensive crop care activities that should not be neglected. Young trees for 2-3 years after planting need complex mineral mixtures. In autumn, the near-stem zone must be fed with peat, as well as compost, which will also serve as insulation of the root system. Complex annual feeding of an adult tree consists of 4 stages. Top dressing is important during the period of bud formation and active flowering.

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 winter hardiness of the variety is quite high, so it does not require additional insulation measures. The main thing is that the seedlings or trees are protected from drafts and excessive moisture in the soil.

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 is extremely rarely exposed to scab and powdery mildew, however, preventive measures are recommended. As a rule, this is spraying with special means. Most often, the apple tree is exposed to the invasion of aphids and apple moths, which can be controlled by treatment with Bordeaux liquid or insecticides. If the tree is susceptible to root cancer, then it is necessary to treat the rhizomes with a solution of copper sulfate, and then rinse thoroughly with water.

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

In their reviews, gardeners and farmers note the high yield of the variety, the external attractiveness of apples and their good keeping quality (75-100 days). In addition, an adult tree does not take up much space on the site, has an average height, which facilitates the process of pruning and forming a crown, and is also completely inappropriate in its care - this is especially important for new summer residents. The stability of fruiting and resistance to many diseases deserve special praise.
