Solntsedar - remains a clear leader among summer varieties of apples. These liquid, picturesquely crimson fruits are highly appreciated by experts and amateurs for their excellent taste. Along with this, the main advantage of the variety remains a high level of frost resistance - even northern latitudes are not afraid of it.

Breeding history of the variety

Solntsedar was bred by the domestic scientist P.A. The author's goal is to obtain a summer fruitful and frost-resistant crop that grows successfully in the northern regions of the country. The goal was successfully implemented, and the variety was zoned in the Volgo-Vyatka and Ural regions of the country.

Description of the variety

The culture is medium-sized, with a broadly oval, densely thickening crown. The main branches, brownish in color, extend from the stem at a steep angle. Young ones are much thinner, with small ringlets, on which, starting from a three-year-old wood, and later from a 2-year old, the process of fruit formation is concentrated.

Slightly thickened shoots, oval cross-section, with short internodes, dark brown shades and moderately pubescent. Leaves are small in size, thickened, moderately shiny, with a noticeable bluish tinge, flat-formed, elongated-rounded configuration. The base of the plate is rounded, the top is tapered. The leaves are slightly pubescent on the reverse side, placed at an angle of 90 degrees to the shoot, the serration of the edges is rounded-serrate, separate leaves with segments and lobes. The leaf petioles are thickened, of medium size, with small awl-shaped stipules.

The flowers are large, saucer-like, white-pinkish. Buds with pinkish tints.

Features, pros and cons

The variety is distinguished by wave ripening of fruits - apples are eaten several times in the season, since they ripen at different times. In the process of aging, at the 40th year of growth and older, apple trees bear fruit periodically. An interesting feature of the variety is that the trees grow productively in polluted conditions, even in cities, close to highways.

Among the main advantages of the variety, we highlight:

  • excellent taste properties of apples and their presentation;

  • good frost resistance;

  • summer type of fruiting;

  • excellent yield parameters;

  • compactness and small dimensions of trees.

Minuses:

  • low resistance to fungal diseases;

  • unstable ripening of fruits during ripeness;

  • short shelf life of apples;

  • the need for replanting pollinating trees to stabilize the degree of fruiting.

Ripening and fruiting

Flowering time begins in the second decade of May. Under the condition of effectively past pollination, the ripening period of the fruits lasts from the end of May to the second decade of August and somewhat longer. During this period, the tree especially requires a lot of different minerals and organic fertilizers, so the bulk of all dressings should fall on this time.

Fruiting starts at the 7th year, following the budding. It is a high-yielding species that passes into periodic fruiting during aging.The fruiting period starts in August.

The seedling of Solntsedar is characterized by unstable, but significant fruiting. Fruits weighing 100-150 g grow for 3-4 years of growth.

Yield

For small-sized trees, the degree of their yield is unusually high - at a mature age (over 7 years), one tree gives up to 100 kg of fruit. We do not recommend being late with the harvest, since the fruits will soon fall off, and the storage periods are significantly reduced.

Fruits and their taste

Fruits are medium-sized, flattened-oval or wide-rounded, often with barely noticeable ribs. The peel is even, not moist, with a shiny cover and a bluish waxy top. Subcutaneous spots are enlarged, light-colored, clearly visible. The dominant color is light cream. Covering - red-pink, elegant, occupying a significant part of the fruit area, often turning into some pleasant and appetizing blur. The peduncle is not long, thickened. The funnel is medium. The saucer is small, lumpy, the cup is half-open. The sub-cup tube is saccular in shape. The seminal cavities are isolated.

The color of the flesh is white, the flesh is granular, with scarlet veins, with an excellent sweet-sour and slightly tart taste. Chemical composition: dry soluble substances - 12.8 (up to 15.7)%, sugars - 10.2 (up to 12.3)%, titratable acids - 0.86%, ascorbic acids - 11.7 (up to 23.2) mg / 100g, kakheti - 176 (up to 267) mg / 100g.

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

Solntsedar is unpretentious to the landing sites. It can be planted both in autumn and in spring, but it is better to perform this procedure in early April.

Pruning is usually done in both spring and fall. In the fall, at the end of the fruit harvest, the deformed branches are removed, and in the spring, pruning is performed before the buds open. This procedure is carried out for preventive purposes, to prevent the appearance of diseases arising from excessive moisture in the dense crown.

The sunflower is also grown in the form of a bush. For this purpose, a stem is formed with a height of 15-20 cm, which ultimately leads to the preservation of one central conductor and 5-6 skeletal branches. For this, a number of measures are being implemented:

  • the top is removed from a one-year-old seedling;

  • from the side shoots, select 3 strong ones and shorten them by 23 buds;

  • during the second year of growth at a level slightly above last year, 12 branches are taken and shortened;

  • other branches are made shorter by 15.2 cm;

  • after reaching the tree up to 2 meters, the central conductor is removed above the upper skeletal branch.

In this case, you should adhere to a number of rules:

  • skeletal branches should be placed as far apart as possible;

  • the location of the central shoot should be higher than the skeletal branches;

  • the branches located above should be shorter than the lower branches.

We do not recommend removing a significant number of branches during one pruning, this will negatively affect the overall development of the tree.

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 seedling requires cross-pollination.Therefore, additional planting of pollinating plants is carried out. In this sense, many gardeners prefer the use of Anis Sverdlovsky.

Top dressing

The variety is designed for severe frosts, you cannot do without regular bait - the frozen soil is poor in nutrients. As the trees grow and adapt, the frequency of fertilizing is usually reduced to 1 time per year.

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 able to withstand frosts down to -40 degrees. Moreover, even young animals are not additionally insulated. The actual moment is planting seedlings in the sunniest place.

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

Despite the many advantages of the variety, a significant disadvantage is its low resistance to diseases and pest attacks. Often culture is sick:

  • scab;

  • powdery mildew;

  • fruit rot;

  • milky shine.

For this reason, treating trees with special solutions and whitewashing remains an especially relevant topic.

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).
