Delicious apples in your own garden are always healthy. To get a stable harvest, you need to know how to properly care for this fruit tree, especially if it does not tolerate frost like the Starkrimson variety.

Breeding history of the variety

The variety was obtained by American breeders using a kidney mutation of the Starking Delicious variety.

Description of the variety

The trees grow medium in size, they are about 2-2.5 meters. The crown is formed with a small number of branches, in the form of a wide pyramid. The tree is compact, with dark green foliage.

Skeletal branches grow around the trunk at an acute angle. Shoots are dark brown, slightly pubescent.

When the tree is in bloom, the buds exhibit a light pink hue. After blooming, the flowers turn white.

Features, pros and cons

This species has many advantages, and this is not only early maturity, but also a small size, a rare crown. In addition, be sure to highlight:

  • large apples;

  • the crop can be stored for a long time in the warehouse;

  • excellent commercial qualities of fruits.

It is impossible not to say about the disadvantages that the Starkrimson apple variety possesses:

  • the variety is not resistant to frost;

  • no immunity to disease;

  • especially picky about the soil.

Ripening and fruiting

In September-October, the ripeness of the fruit begins. The consumer period lasts until April.

The described variety is good in that it begins to bear fruit 2 years after planting. The tree will be harvested every year.

Growing regions

The main regions where Starkrimson can be found are the Krasnodar Territory and the Rostov Region with the North Caucasus, that is, in the south of the country.

Yield

The yield is assessed by experts as high.

Fruits and their taste

The fruit of the apple tree can be easily transported. They have a high marketability.

The color of the apples is light green, there is a cover color of a languid carmine shade. Fruits are insufficiently one-dimensional, medium-silvery in the upper part. Their mass is usually from 170 to 200 grams.

The skin is loose, there is a slightly noticeable fluff.

These apples taste sweet with a slight sourness. There is a well-defined 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

When growing the Starkrimson variety, it is imperative to prepare a sunny, windless place. Groundwater should be far from the ground surface. When landing, a distance of 2 meters is observed.

Crown pruning plays an important role in the formation of a healthy tree. It is not recommended to prune seedlings until the main crown is formed. It is formed 2 years after planting. In the spring, it is necessary to carry out sanitary, shaping and rejuvenating pruning. They help direct most of the nutrients to the fruit. Remove excess, diseased shoots. The most important thing is that the light penetrates the crown, then the foliage will dry well after the rain, respectively, the risk of fungal diseases is reduced.

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 is not self-fertile, therefore, additional pollinators are planted on the site, or the following trees are inoculated:

  • Jonagold Decosta;

  • Jonathan;

  • Golden Delicious.

Top dressing

It is recommended to use pure nitrogen when growing an apple tree every year until the tree reaches two years of age. As soon as it grows, the dose is reduced.

You can use fertilizer 21-0-0 or 16-16-16, rabbit, cow dung. However, in comparison with pure nitrogen, it will be necessary to use 5 times more top dressing such as 21-0-0 and 7 times more 16-16-16, 35 times more rabbit dung and 70 times more cow dung.

After the tree is planted, wait 3 weeks for the soil to settle. Then 230 g of fertilizer is spread around the trunk at a distance of 6 cm to give a boost to growth.

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 assessed as insufficient, therefore, in cold regions, the apple tree will not give a stable harvest, and it is quite difficult to keep the tree healthy.

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

Starkrimson is not resistant to scab and pest attacks. Early prevention against diseases and insects is very important. During the period when the buds begin to bloom, it is recommended to spray the tree with products with a high copper content.

Diseases such as rust and apple scab can quickly destroy healthy trees, so garden oils and Bordeaux mixture are used in early spring.

To treat apple scab, they regularly rake under the trees and destroy the infected leaves that contain the spores of the fungus. This will stop the disease from progressing and prevent it from being carried by the wind to other healthy trees. Liquid copper soap can be sprayed on wood, repeat spraying after a week.

The best way to treat black rot is to remove fallen leaves and fruits, and cut off bark and sores. Use copper based sprays to further control the spread of black rot.

Fungicides are used for fungal diseases. Liquid copper soap is also suitable. The treatment is carried out two weeks before the growing season and is repeated a week later as a preventive measure.

As for insects, garlic infusion and insecticides help a lot, which prevent them from mating and laying eggs.

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).
