Planting the usual apple and pear trees in the courtyard of a private house or in the country, the gardener certainly wants to grow some tree with incredibly tasty fruits, unusual and beautiful. One of these is the Red Passion apple tree, which will not only give fragrant fruits, but also become a decoration of the garden.

Breeding history of the variety

The decorative and fruiting apple variety Red Passion is the result of the fruitful work of Swiss breeders. Not so long ago, it began to be massively grown in Russia, but it managed to win the love of amateur gardeners and farmers who grow apple trees on an industrial scale.

Description of the variety

The apple tree is a medium-sized tree, the height of which does not exceed 2.5 meters. It has a bright spherical crown with light red leaves. The tree looks incredibly impressive during the flowering period, when the crown is covered with dark pink flowers. Apple tree Red Passion belongs to late autumn varieties, which are characterized by an unforgettable aroma and taste.

Features, pros and cons

The apple variety has many features, thanks to which it is of great interest to gardeners and farmers. The advantages include good frost resistance, immunity to diseases and pests, the ability to adapt in any soil, good yields, as well as a high content of antioxidants and sugar than in other apple varieties.

Among the disadvantages, one can only single out the fact that the variety is not self-pollinated, and therefore requires planting near pollinating trees.

Ripening and fruiting

The flowering period is in April-May. During this period, the crown is replete with large flowers, and this period lasts for several weeks. Fruiting begins in August-September and lasts until the first cold weather. After picking, apples need to lie down for a while, after which they ripen and acquire even more pronounced taste. Having planted a tree, you can count on the harvest in the second year, however, the quantity and quality of the fruits will pleasantly surprise you.

Growing regions

Due to its quick adaptation to different climatic conditions, the variety grows well in any region, be it the southern strip or the northern one. In addition to Russia, the variety is massively grown in Ukraine and Belarus.

Yield

The yield indicators of the variety are quite high. Subject to all the rules of care and planting dates from the apple tree, you can collect up to 30-40 kg of fruits.

Fruits and their taste

Fruits weighing up to 150 grams are characterized by light pink pulp, thin skin and incredible aroma of wild berries. The color of the fruit is dark red with barely noticeable spots and stripes, and the taste is sweet-sour, strikingly different from other varieties. Due to the density and strength of the skin, round fruits retain their shape and presentation for a long time even during transportation.

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

To grow this apple species, it is necessary to select a site that is well illuminated by the sun's rays, and is also protected from drafts and strong winds. Before planting seedlings, it is necessary to dig up the soil, remove weeds, moisten, and then prepare special holes. The soil should be fluffy, breathable, fertile and free of stagnant water. Planting seedlings is possible both in autumn and spring.

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 Red Passion variety is not self-fertile, therefore it is easily pollinated with the help of other trees flowering and fruiting at the same time as this apple species. Pollination with other varieties can occur even at a distance of up to 200-300 meters.

Top dressing

Top dressing of the tree takes place according to the standard scheme - during bud formation, during flowering and fruiting. The most beneficial are organic fertilizers. In addition to feeding, it is necessary to provide moderate watering, as well as to prune old branches and form the crown of the 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.

Frost resistance

The frost resistance of the variety is so great that the tree is able to tolerate severe winters well, in which the temperature drops to -20.30 degrees. In special cases, the insulation of the root system with mulching is required.

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 immunity of trees is high, capable of protecting against many diseases and pest infestations. The variety has good protection against powdery mildew and scab, but prevention of the appearance of diseases and harmful organisms is mandatory. As a preventive measure, spraying with special agents is used.

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

Despite the fact that the variety is relatively new, there are a lot of reviews about it. Most gardeners characterize the Red Pass apple tree as fruitful, non-capricious, and quickly take root in different soils. Many people note the unusual taste and aroma of the fruits, their long-term preservation, which allows you to enjoy delicious apples all winter. In addition, the tree, especially during the flowering period, performs a decorative function, decorating a plot or garden.
