The main disadvantage of this type is the lack of the ability to pollinate independently. To get a crop, it is necessary to plant at least two more trees of other varieties in a small area. The apple tree of the above variety is not early ripe, therefore it is necessary to wait a lot to get the first crop.

The apple trees Stroyevskoe grow remarkably and bear fruit on the territory of the Moscow Region in central Russia. Young trees of the above varieties are especially actively growing in the first few years. There is also a high survival rate. However, even with these characteristics, the plant needs special care.

For planting fruit crops it is recommended to choose areas with fertile soil. The best option is black soil. Land with a high content of alkali or acids will not work. Also give preference to lighted areas. Shadow negatively affects the process of tree development and the abundance of the crop.

It is better to use the following recipe and prepare an effective top dressing from such elements:

• one and a half kilograms of superphosphate;
• 2.5 kilograms of phosphorus flour;
• 150 grams of potassium sulfide;
• a kilo of ash;
• humus - 4 buckets.

The resulting composition in these proportions is spent on one tree.

The first time the trees are fertilized one year after planting. This is done in the first month of spring. Many people use proven organic - liquid manure. To prepare the mixture, it is enough to mix water with the main element and leave to ferment for 6 days. After that, the soil around the tree is loosened and watered. The second time fertilizers are applied at the end of spring, in May. Now you need to use humus. For feeding you should prepare 5 product buckets. You can also use the following mixture: 40 grams of nitroammofoski and ammonium nitrate mixed with 0.5 kilograms of urea.

As soon as the tree began to bloom, it was time for the third dressing. Nutrients are needed to stimulate the growing season. The following fertilizer can be prepared independently: 10 liters of pure water, half a bucket of liquid manure and 100 grams of superphosphate. The resulting mixture is cultivated around the tree. If necessary, you can replace the manure with urea (300 grams). The fourth dressing is carried out using a solution of liquid manure. The cooking process is listed above. The last time fertilizers are introduced to make trees easier to survive the cold season. Trees are watered and 50 grams of double superphosphate is added.

Young apple trees need careful watering, like many fruit crops.At one seedling spend at least 2 liters of water. From year to year, the frequency of watering must be cut, however, this increases the volume. The process of updating the crown should be carried out in the fall or in the middle of spring. Get rid of unnecessary shoots. Broken and damaged branches are cut off with the onset of autumn.

This culture has a high resistance to various diseases that are often attacked by fruit trees. Despite this characteristic, you can not completely abandon prevention. Protective treatment will additionally protect the trees.

In the shops for gardening presents a huge selection of products with which you can strengthen the immune system of the plant. Preparations will provide additional protection without spoiling the crop. Experts recommend using a minimum of funds. Due to the fact that the apple tree does not need careful treatment with the help of chemical means, the crop is obtained as natural and useful as possible.

The harvest is ripening around mid-September, but this figure strongly depends on the climatic conditions in the region. The terms can be shifted or, conversely, shortened. In the process of collecting fruits, be careful not to damage the skin. These fruits are stored less. Due to the juicy pulp through the damaged shell juice will begin to stand out.
