Incense apples: characteristics and subtleties of cultivation

Apple is an unpretentious plant at the dacha, but its fruits are popular regardless of the season.A cloud of fragrant flowers is characteristic of the markets, which are represented by several types of trees.

Trees with medium-sized fruits, which were obtained as a result of the crossing of different species, including the “Siberian Berry”, are called the rosettes. The main parent has transferred the best characteristics to the new, derived by agrotechnical method, apple trees. All types of apple cannies perfectly withstand the cold, have time to ripen in a short summer and abundantly bear fruit regardless of the landing area.

In the first year, apples grow no more than 15 grams - this is a characteristic feature of this type of tree. Their taste is slightly tart with sourness, the fruits fully ripen in late September. They are ideal not only for fresh food, but for processing. It turns out excellent jelly, jams and compotes.

If you compare with some varieties that have larger apples, then the rates on the number of biologically active substances surpass them all. The natural sugar in the fruit contains 12%, and pectin - 1.5%. Nutritionists and doctors recommend eating this variety in food for the following purposes:

• reduce inflammatory processes that occur in the body;
• remove heavy metals;
• boost the immune system to fight off harmful microorganisms.

Crown-shaped apple trees are completely unpretentious plants that perfectly feel and bear fruit in the northern regions of the country. Fruits can be stored for a long time, processed in various ways. All apples on a tree ripen almost simultaneously, which saves time.

A distinctive feature of the northern varieties is that they have a sour taste that not everyone likes. In addition, the crown is formed quite wide, so there is enough space on the plot so that the apple tree grows normally.

This species cannot boast of an excellent immune system, since it is not able to fight diseases and pests. Care is important if the gardener wants a good harvest.

Among the varieties there are many varieties that differ in terms of ripening. This tree grows mainly in European areas, where they love large, sweet apples. In general, this apple tree can bear fruit and develop normally, everywhere except in the Far North. Some gardeners recommend planting this tree to those who can not spend much time on garden care.

However, such a tree takes up a lot of space, so not everyone has the opportunity to place it in their garden plots. In height and in width - it is about five meters. Yield depends largely on the type of variety. As a rule, fruit harvesting occurs at the end of August or at the beginning of autumn. From one tree, despite its dimensions, it is possible to collect 50–100 kg.

Even if there were frosts, this phenomenon does not affect the quality and quantity of fruits. Almost all subspecies have a characteristic tart flavor. If apples grab a little frost, it will only benefit them, because then they become sweeter. It is the Siberian roots that help the tree respond so calmly to sudden temperature drops and withstand a minus in the yard.

The immune system is poorly developed, so it is necessary to carry out preventive pest control measures in the spring. Before the juice starts moving, it is advised to spray the plant with a solution of urea, which allows you to kill the pests that have climbed under the bark of the tree for the winter. Bordeaux liquid helps in the summer, but cracks that appear need to be coated with copper sulphate. During the fruiting period is not required. One year after planting, the tree begins to produce the first apples. For decades, the plant will delight delicious fruits.

Few people know, but there are about a hundred varieties of herbs, among which the most popular are the following:

• "Chinese";
• "Red";
• "Purple";
• "Dwarf";
• "Long";
• Dobrynya.

All of them differ in taste and individual characteristics. For the manufacture of juices on an industrial scale grown "Dobrynya". Excellent baby puree is obtained from the "Red" intimates.

Any apple tree is best planted in early spring, before sap flow begins. Sometimes you can plant them in the fall, after the leaf fall. Preparation of the pit always starts a week before planting the seedling in the ground. This recess should be 70 cm wide and deep. In order to make the sapling tree feel fine, fertilizers are placed on the bottom. As a good top dressing humus can act. A young seedling can be tied up to a post, which will allow it to grow even.

After the pit is buried, the plant is watered, but before it is well tamped down the ground so that it does not subside. Experienced gardeners point out that root neck should always be five centimeters above the ground.

The distance between separately growing trees is determined by the type of the selected variety. For a medium-sized tree, four meters is enough for normal development of the root system. The crowns of the neighboring apple trees will not interfere with each other, and the fruits will receive enough light. Between vigorous varieties indentation is five meters, dwarf require only three meters, and semi-dwarf - 4 meters.

No matter how surprising it may sound, but seed ramnits multiply. This is one of the clearest examples of how resilient a plant can be.

Most gardeners do not know how to ensure proper care of this variety of apple trees. Particular attention should be paid to the root circle, where the soil needs to be mulched in order to maintain the necessary moisture for the duration of droughts. Hay, sawdust or freshly cut grass are suitable as fixed assets. Put them immediately after watering to enhance the effect. Young seedlings are necessarily tied up, and in the spring the trunk of each tree, regardless of its age, is covered with a solution of lime. It helps protect the plant from pests. Ranetki can grow on any soil, but it is better if it is loamy soil.

As for the crown, it should be trimmed to begin one year after planting the seedling. When the foliage has fallen or in early spring, extra branches, broken and damaged, are removed with shears. If this tree is old, then the diseased shoots, dried up and young green trees located at an acute angle, are eliminated. Pruning helps the tree to create a strong frame on which numerous apples are held.

To say that you want to plant other varieties of pollinators near the apple tree, no. At the same time with the appearance of flowers on the leaves, other trees begin to bloom, so there is no need to pay too much attention to this issue. Nearby there is always some apple tree and it is already quite enough. The variety blooms in late spring or early summer, but much depends not only on the species, but also on climatic conditions. The process lasts an average of ten days, then ovaries form on the branches.

The same applies to ripening, in different regions the period may vary. Most of the apples can already begin to collect in late summer or early autumn.Later varieties are ready for use only at the end of October. All fruit raenok have an amazing ability for a long time to maintain its presentation. After harvesting, it will be another attractive addition to the New Year's table. Store fruit in a cool and dry place in wooden boxes. There are even varieties that can be frozen.

As gardeners have noticed, most of the varieties of farmer plants perfectly take root even in shady places. No winter they care, and after two years on the table there are wonderful fruit with amazing taste. Of course, the first fruiting will not give a lot of apples, but two kilograms per family is already pleasant. The more the crown grows, the more impressive is the yield, so it is worth helping the plant and not to spare time for additional feeding. Favorite gardeners this variety and for its simplicity.

On the territory of the Altai Territory, rantki have gained tremendous distribution. Of these, they create real apple orchards, since they cope well with frost and are generally unpretentious. For the most part, even the quality of the soil does not play any role.

Some varieties do not crumble after ripening, which is important, because while the apple is hanging on the tree, it retains its presentation. Trees of different varieties perfectly coexist among themselves, the main thing is to provide a sufficient amount of space between them. When the gardener does everything right, then in the future he has less worries about the crop.

You can always easily expand the capabilities of existing plants, if you use grafting. New shoots produce no worse yield, and sometimes even manage to get a completely different type of apples with excellent taste. For grafting, you can take saplings from other trees in the garden or buy. Tips of professional gardeners will help to carry out the procedure correctly, in principle there is nothing difficult in this agrotechnical method. What will be the harvest and how many fruits can the gardener collect, depends on him. Ranetki is an excellent option if you do not want to work hard.
