The Syabryna variety belongs to late autumn ripening varieties. Removable maturity of the fruit begins by the end of September. The consumer period lasts from November to January. The first harvest from trees of this variety is harvested by gardeners 4 years after planting.

Syabryna is grown in all regions. In Russia, it has proven itself well not only in the southern regions, but also in the central ones. Recommended for planting in Kaluga, Moscow, Smolensk, Bryansk, Vladimir, Tula, Ryazan, Ivanovo regions.

The variety is medium-yielding. Up to 13.1 tons of fruits can be harvested from 1 hectare. It gives a stable harvest every year, and this attracts the attention of gardeners.

Apple trees of this variety are unpretentious. In order for the trees to bear fruit, it is enough to follow the traditional rules of agrotechnical care.

Young seedlings are planted in a sunny place that is well protected from winds and drafts. Groundwater should be at least 2.5 m from the root system of the tree. If the groundwater is closer, then a small embankment is made for planting seedlings. They are located at a distance of 4 meters from each other. In a dry year, the trees need watering. In order for the apples to grow large, the central flower must be removed from the inflorescence.

Trees of this variety do not need additional pollinators. Sometimes, to obtain a higher yield in the garden, other trees with the same flowering period are planted between the apple trees of this variety.

Like other plants, Syabryn's apple trees need feeding. For this, trace elements, mineral and organic fertilizers are excellent. Organic matter helps the tree to form its crown. Fertilizers containing phosphorus strengthen the root system. It is important to remember that fertilizers must be applied with care. An overabundance of them can have a bad effect on fruiting.

If during the planting of seedlings all the necessary substances were introduced into the hole, then in the first year the trees can only be fertilized with rotted manure. If the garden is planted on peat or sandy soils, then every spring it must be fed with a solution of trace elements. At least two weeks should pass between feeding.

The apple trees of this variety have high winter hardiness. They tolerate frost well down to -30 ° С. Shelter is not required.
