Apple trees are widespread in Russia and other neighboring countries. They decorate the adjoining areas of country houses, parks and squares, not to mention commercial cultivation. When choosing a variety, gardeners first of all pay attention to the features of each of them, as well as positive and negative characteristics. The apple tree Freshness attracted the attention of many summer residents.

Description of the variety

The fruit tree grows up to 4 m in height. The crown, medium in density, takes on a rounded shape. The foliage is large, dark green in color with a glossy sheen. The shape is broadly ovate. The texture is wrinkled.

You can determine the variety by the main curved branches that grow at an acute angle. They are placed compactly, and the ends tend upward. The pubescent shoots are colored brown, the thickness is medium. During flowering, it is covered with medium-sized pink flowers. The shape is saucer-shaped.

Features, pros and cons

The main feature of the Fresh apple tree is its high resistance to scab, which other popular varieties cannot boast of. Protection against this disease is built on the immune level. This characteristic greatly facilitates the care of the fruit crop.

Gardeners noted the following positive qualities of the apple tree:

  • excellent resistance to frost and high temperatures;

  • thanks to the compact crown, you can arrange a garden in a small area;

  • high and regular yield;

  • fruits are stored for a long time and can be easily transported over long distances;

  • the variety is undemanding to the composition of the soil;

  • marketable appearance that attracts the attention of buyers.

As for the disadvantages, most summer residents believe that they are practically absent. As a disadvantage, the lack of special gastronomic qualities with a high and stable yield is noted. For this reason, Freshness is considered a dining fruit crop. The number of pluses significantly exceeds the number of minuses, which is why the variety has become widespread.

Ripening and fruiting

Removable ripeness of apples begins on September 25th and lasts until October 5th. The ripening time of the crop is late winter. The tree begins to produce crops in the fifth year after planting. The consumer period is from the last autumn month to the end of spring.

Growing regions

To get a rich harvest, it is imperative to take into account the climatic conditions of each region. Due to its high resistance to frost, the apple tree feels great on the territory of the Moscow region and the Moscow region. The innate resistance to scab helps her to survive the cool summer without any problems, while the immunity will not suffer. The climate in this region cannot be called welcoming, so many varieties will not take root here.

And also the variety is actively grown in central Russia due to its unpretentious care. Apple trees easily endure all the vagaries of bad weather. To obtain a regular and high-quality harvest, it is enough to follow simple agricultural techniques. This variety is suitable even for novice gardeners.

Yield

An average of 187 centners of fruit are harvested from one hectare. Marketability is noted as high. The variety is considered to be quite fast-growing.

Fruits and their taste

Apples have a universal purpose. The surface is painted yellow-green. The rind is covered with scarlet stripes and small strokes. Fruit weight varies from 130 to 200 grams. The shape is correct, reminiscent of a barrel, flattened. One-dimensionality is medium. The sizes of apples are noted as average and above average, depending on the region of cultivation and adherence to agricultural practices.

The surface is shiny and smooth, oily. The taste is described as sweet and sour. A dense, fine-grained, but juicy pulp is hidden under the peel. Color - white with a green tint. The aroma is mild. The harvested crop can be stored for up to 7 months. Professional tasters gave the fruit a tasting score of 4.2 points.

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 excellent frost resistance, it is recommended to choose an illuminated area or a location with partial shade for growing. The variety is medium-sized. Self-fertility is weak. Apple tree Freshness is unpretentious in care, but certain conditions of agricultural technology must be observed without fail. Fruit crops should be watered regularly. Especially the moisture level must be monitored from the moment of fruiting until the ripening of apples. Lack of moisture greatly affects the quality of the crop. Fruits lose their taste, juiciness and become smaller in size.

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.

Top dressing

Moderate and regular fertilization is an important prerequisite for stable fruiting. You need to feed trees no earlier than the third year after planting. Organic compounds are used with the arrival of autumn. Nutrients are scattered in the near-trunk circle, after which the soil is slightly loosened so that the fertilizing will better saturate the soil. They switch to mineral compositions in winter. Permafrost is treated with urea. Fertilizers with phosphorus and potassium are used at the start of budding and during the ovary of the crop.

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 can be grown in regions of Russia with a harsh climate due to its innate resistance to frost.And also fruit trees are not afraid of sudden changes in temperature. During periods of drought or severe frost, apple trees should be carefully examined for damage and disease. This is a prerequisite for a successful wintering.

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

Variety Freshness practically does not get sick. Breeders bred an apple tree, which received strong immunity and a special gene that protects against common diseases. Despite its resistance to scab, a garden crop can suffer from the following ailments: black cancer and fire blight. Fighting these diseases is not only possible, but also necessary. Otherwise, you can lose not only the harvest. The development of infection often leads to the death of the tree.

Errors in caring for apple trees often lead to the appearance and development of a fire blight. To save the tree, you will have to resort to drastic measures. The damaged areas of the apple tree are hit, and the rest must be properly disinfected. Young seedlings are often attacked by black cancer. It is very difficult to get rid of the disease if it has managed to penetrate the ground. You can protect the garden from this ailment with the help of potash dressings, which were introduced in advance.

In addition to diseases, dangerous insects threaten apple trees. You can deal with them in different ways.

  • Processing the branches with dandelion infusion will protect the tree from green aphids.

  • To combat apple moth, it is recommended to use a chlorophos solution. This composition demonstrates high efficiency against this species of insects.

  • You can save the garden from apple blossom beetles with the help of Karbofos solution. Processing should be carried out before flowering.

  • If the trees have been attacked by a leaf roll, the apple tree is sprayed with Nitrafen solution.

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).
