The weight of an apple reaches 150 g. A large amount of harvest can be harvested from these apples, but the tree begins to bear fruit only seven years after planting. Due to the fact that the trees are tall, the place in the garden is not always enough. Therefore, the breeders began to grow them on dwarf and semi-dwarf rootstocks.

According to numerous reviews to the downsides can be attributed to the growth of apple trees, difficult to harvest. It becomes difficult to cut branches.

Positive sides can be considered:

The beginning of May or the end of April is the best time for planting apple seedlings. Tall apple trees are placed in the ground, where the ground water level is at least three meters. Landing should be sunny. Preparation for the landing is to do a month before the landing. The depth of the dug hole is 0.5 m, and the diameter is 1.3 m. Consider the gap between the holes about 4 m and 5 m in a row. Apple trees are grown on rootstocks similarly, the difference is only in groundwater, it is significantly less than for tall varieties. Here, too, you need to respect the distance between the seedlings a few meters from each other.

You need to take a wooden stake and drive it into the middle of the pit so that it can be seen 0.5 m above ground level. Next, mix part of the land from the pit with manure, which is already pereprelya and with humus, pour the resulting mixture back into the pit. In a month, the soil will settle on its own. Should be engaged in the preparation of seedlings. You need to put their roots in water for a few hours.

In the form of the final stage we place the seedling neatly in the pit, the roots should be straightened, tied to a peg with the help of soft twine. The main thing - to ensure that the radical neck was above ground level. You can fall asleep soil, slightly tamped. For ease of irrigation, take the rest of the land and make a roller around the seedling. Immediately you need to pour the seedling with water in the amount of three buckets.

Use the advice of experienced gardeners.

• Water seedlings thoroughly in extreme heat. And in the case of prolonged rainfall, break the ground under the trees, so oxygen will flow to the roots.
• Up to three years to feed the apple tree is not worth it, fertilizers, which made during planting, it is enough.
• By the end of April you need to sprinkle around 500 g of rotted manure around the apple tree. A solution of nitroammofoski should be made after blooming buds.
• In case of drought in the fall, water the trees with the addition of superphosphate and potassium sulfate. And when it rains just sprinkle these fertilizers on the ground. This should be done after the fruits have been collected.
• Before winter is to whitewash trunks. Mature trees whiten with lime mortar, and the trunks of young apple trees with chalk. Obsolete and diseased bark are scraped off with scrapers to prevent pests from overwintering there. If there are wounds on the tree, they are covered with garden pitch. Sprinkle trees with a weak solution of iron sulfate. At the rate of 10 liters of water per 500 g of vitriol. This should be done in dry and windless weather. And to protect your face be sure to use a protective mask and goggles. Pruning the branches in the spring so that the tree will bear fruit and the fruits will be of high quality. The main thing is to do it right. In order not to freeze the branches in the cold, they are pruned in the first half of March before the start of sap flow. Intensive thinning them is not required, the branches grow rarely.
