Probably the most common fruit in our country is the apple. Apple trees can be seen in every garden, dacha, or even just on a city street. Apple is an incredibly valuable product, containing many vitamins and minerals, it is especially appreciated because of its iron.
There are different varieties: they can be winter, summer or autumn. Each species has its own distinctive featuresas well as positive and negative qualities. A careful study of each type of apple tree helps to understand how to care for these plants, when to harvest and how long this crop will be stored.
Summer varieties of apple trees
"Melba"- not enough tall plant, with a lush developed crown. This variety is often affected by scab and is moderately resistant to wintering. Already for 5-6 years, you can collect the first fruits from this tree. After the first fruiting, the tree gives good yields every year, which fully ripen by the end of August. After collection, they will lie a little - only a month. Apples are not damaged in transit.
The fruit has a round-conical shape. The surface of the apple is dotted with small stripes, and the sides are painted with an attractive blush. The average fruit weight of this variety is 100-120 grams. The apple itself is light green in color, with white flesh. The taste is sweet and sour, delicate.
- a small tree with a rounded oval lush crown. Medium resistant to frost, as well as various diseases and pests. The exception is scab, which especially attacks the plant during rainy summers. From the moment of planting, at least 4 years must pass before the apple tree begins to bear fruit. Crops are formed annually. By mid-August, you can pick ripe, tasty, sweet and sour apples of a light yellow hue. The average weight of one fruit reaches 100 grams. After harvest, this variety can be stored for only 15 days, so transportability is low. The apple shape is rounded, slightly conical. A small seam is visible over the entire surface.
- the tree is distinguished by a low structure with a flat-rounded crown. A winter hardy variety that is also scab resistant. For 4 years after planting, the tree can bring its first harvest. Annual fruiting allows you to pick apples weighing 100 grams. Fruits begin to ripen somewhere in the beginning of August (10 days before the ripening of apples at "Papirovka").

The tree has a rounded crown, the bark does not tolerate direct sunlight, in a sunny, dry summer, there is a massive shedding of the crop. Sometimes scab infestation occurs. Begins to bear fruit in 5-6 years. While a specimen is young, the fruits ripen every year. Light yellow fruits of medium juiciness have a rounded-flattened shape and weight up to 80 g. The surface of the fruit is ribbed with one main seam. Not subject to storage.
Variety "Skorospelka red"... This variety was bred by an amateur domestic gardener. Medium-sized, round trees are characterized by winter hardiness and high yields. Spherical, slightly ribbed fruits weigh up to 80 g. Sweet-sour fruits with greenish flesh ripen at the end of August and can be stored for up to a month.
"Moscow Grushovka" belongs to the old, time-tested varieties with good frost resistance. High-yielding trees are tapered and begin to yield from the fifth year of growth.

Winter varieties, long storage
One of the notable selection results is grade "Rossiyanka", which was bred from the well-known Antonovka variety and absorbed all its best qualities, and even multiplied them. This variety is valuable for its high content of ascorbic acid up to 40 g and rutin 23 g. Fragrant yellow fruits with brown veins can be stored in food storage until May next year. Compared to Antonovka, this variety has a more sweet than sour taste. Trees bear fruit annually and give good yields.
Following grade "Narodnoe" differs from others in the early onset of growing up, the fruits appear already on next year after planting, regular high yields are observed further. Apples ripen at the end of summer, but at the same time they are stored without damage until mid-winter. Fruits are medium in size, with an original aroma and sweet taste with a sour tinge.
Dwarf apple varieties
If a varietal stalk is grafted not to a stock that has grown from seeds, but to a dwarf stock, then a dwarf variety is obtained with all the necessary properties of the mother plant. You need to make a lot of effort on your own, so ready-made dwarf seedlings are available commercially.
The root system is fibrous and the roots are small, unlike ordinary trees. The benefits of dwarf varieties are obvious - they take up less space with the same yield and preservation of the main parameters of the variety.
Variety "Chudnoe", despite its dwarf origin, it allows you to get up to 75 kg of fruits from one tree. The fruits are large, weigh 140 g, ribbed. The color is green with a golden tint and a dark red blush. Such picturesque fruits are harvested already in the fourth year of the tree's growth.
Variety "Zhigulevskoe" begins bearing fruit from the third year of planting. Large orange-red fruits have an excellent taste and aroma, they are stored in the refrigerator for six months.
The yield of the next dwarf varieties "Land" is 130 kg per tree. Large fruits of 145–150 g are distinguished by a sour tint, colored green with a bright red barrel. It tolerates very low temperatures well.
Sweet and sour dwarf apple variety "Sokolovskoe" it is distinguished by the unusually large size of the fruit. On a young tree that has just been planted, their weight reaches 350 g, and on old specimens up to 200 g. The appearance of fruits on the tree is timed to the fourth year of life. Fruits on the tree do not ripen, they gain ripeness in the removed form only by the beginning of the first frost.
"Grushevka of the Moscow Region" yields a harvest every year with small apples up to 100 kg per bush. The crop taken from the apple tree is resistant to decay. Trees are frost-resistant, do not infest with scab, give a harvest for 5 years.
From the dwarf apple tree "Carpet" you can get a harvest for 4 years of grafting. It has a good yield (up to 120 kg). Large fruits weighing 200-270 are yellow-green in color with a smooth surface. The fruits are stored until January.
Variety "No. 57-146" differs in the reddish color of the crown with an ebb. Very winter-hardy variety, good survival rate. Small apples are densely arranged on thin branches, which sometimes leads to breaking off. The large branching of the tree suggests regular, substantial pruning of the crown.
The sweetest types of apple trees
The sweetness of the fruit depends on the amount of sugar in the fruit. In southern varieties of apples acids contain less (about 0.3%), and in Central Russian this figure reaches 0.9%. Accordingly, sugars contain 10-10% and 8-9%. Varieties have been developed that grow in middle latitude, but have a sugar index higher than that of thermophilic species (12.5%). These include "Oktyabrenok", "Dream", "Slavyanka", "Narodnoe", "Orlik", "Vityaz". These apples are really sweet.
"Sort Pepin saffron" differs in low productivity and smallish fruits. Because of this, it was no longer included in the planning of gardens, and they are less and less common. Trees of this species are very hardy and longevity.
"Arkad yellow" produces medium-sized fruits of light yellow color in the form of a glass. Sweet fruits ripen in early August. The trees are not resistant to scab disease and do not yield very high yields per specimen.
Variety "Mironchik" the tree has a very long lifespan (up to one hundred years). These varieties are also not very common in gardens. They can still be found in the northwestern regions. Ripen at the end of August on wide spreading trees, persist for a month. The taste is distinguished by an absolute sweet taste without a sour tinge. A special feature is a slight bitterness. These fruits are not for everybody. Their yellow color is lined with red strokes all over the surface.
Another characteristic kind of sweet apples "Korobovka"... The crown of trees is quite rare, round, spherical. Fruits are small, yellow-red in color, contain 13% sugars. The apples are sweet to taste, with a slight honey tint. Trees begin to bear fruit late, only 7 years old. They tolerate frost well and are immune to scab. It ripens in early August, and can be eaten earlier.
Types of harmful insects and methods of dealing with them
- Bark beetles, ticks, and scale insects bother apple trees the most. They love to hide under the bark of trees and it is very difficult to get and destroy them without damaging the surface of the plant trunk.
- Not only does the bark attract pests, there are a huge number of caterpillars and beetles that eat all the green leafy part, color and ovaries that they meet on their way.
- Fruit pests, which devour the pulp of apples, interfere with the ripening of fruits and the collection of a good harvest. This does not threaten the health of the tree, but an untreated garden can bring much less full harvest to its owner.
- Garden aphids feed on plant sap and cause significant harm to both the plant itself and future fruiting.
To get the intended amount of apples, the garden is treated with special chemicals:
It is almost impossible to list all varieties of apple trees. Scientists breeders are working on the creation of new types of fruits, improve their yield, storage period and resistance to diseases and pests.
Apples are not only tasty, but also very healthy fruits... In addition, frost resistance and unpretentiousness make it possible to grow them without problems in most of the territory of Russia. Selection does not stand still, and new varieties are constantly appearing. Therefore, the most difficult thing for a gardener is to make the right choice. One of the main criteria is appearance and the taste of the fruit. Some people prefer red sweet apples, others prefer green ones with sourness.
Green apple varieties for growing in the Moscow region
The climate in the Moscow region cannot be called particularly harsh, nevertheless, rather frosty and little snowy winters are not an anomaly in this region. Therefore, cold resistance to at least -25 ° C is one of the main criteria for choosing apple trees.
Folding
It has long been widely known in Europe, the origin of which has not been established. It appeared in Russia in the 19th century from the Baltic states. But it is also known to gardeners as the Baltic and Alabaster. Papirovka is often mistakenly called White filling, but these are different varieties. The state register of the Russian Federation recommends the cultivation of this variety in the European part of Russia.
Folding belongs to the category of early ones. Outwardly, the fruit really closely resembles the White filling, but these apples are larger, with a pronounced side "seam" and are better stored. Trees are less likely to be affected by scab, but they are less winter-hardy.
The fruits of this variety do not differ in transportability, therefore, professional farmers do not grow Papirovka. The tree grows to 3.5–4.5 m, and the pyramidal crown gradually becomes almost round.
Papirovka is often confused with White filling, but these are different varieties of apples
The weight of the fruit is 90–95 g, but practice shows that with proper care, their weight can almost double. The shape of the apple varies from slightly flattened to rounded-elongated, resembling a glass, and triangular. The skin is very thin, pale green, sometimes with a slight yellowish tint. The presence of multiple whitish or straw subcutaneous points is characteristic. The fact that the fruits are ripe can be judged by a thin layer of whitish bloom appearing on them.
The harvest ripens in early August. The maximum shelf life under optimal conditions if the fruits are removed from the tree 3-5 days before ripening is 2-3 weeks. During the collection process, you should try to avoid the slightest mechanical damage. The first harvest Papirovka brings in the 4th-5th year, the period of the tree's productive life is about 50 years. The average yield is 60–80 kg, in particularly successful years this figure can reach 150–180 kg. Ripe fruits immediately rot and crumble.
The variety is self-infertile, as pollinators are suitable for Grushovka and Suylepskoye. Significant advantages are good scab resistance and versatility of use. Often, gardeners grow Papirovka for nostalgic reasons, wishing to re-experience the taste familiar from childhood.
Grushovka Moscow
The oldest variety still cultivated today. Bred in Russia more than two hundred years ago. It is widespread not only in the middle lane, but also in the North-West region, fortunately, winter hardiness up to -50 ° C allows. Fruiting is non-simultaneous, begins towards the end of August and lasts about 3-4 weeks.
Apples are prized for their unique sweet and sour taste and delicious smell. They are stored, unfortunately, not for long, a maximum of a month. Then the pulp becomes "cottony" and almost tasteless.
Many people know the taste of Grushovka Moskovskaya from childhood.
Grushovka often suffers from fungal diseases characteristic of the culture, especially in cool and rainy weather, but quickly recovers after that. The productive life of a tree is at least 70 years, only then the yield begins to decline slightly. The variety is early-growing, the first apples (up to 10-12 kg) ripen in 3-4 years after planting. In the heat, the plant definitely needs watering, otherwise it can throw off a significant part of the ovaries.
The pear tree is self-fertile, like a pollinator, any apple tree with the same flowering time will do. The tree is large - it grows up to 6–8 m in height, the crown is 4–5 m in diameter, the branches can hang down almost to the ground. The pear tree can be easily identified by its characteristic brownish-red tint of the bark with a yellowish sheen. And her young shoots are almost cherry-colored.
The fruits are rather small (60–90 g), but there are also “champions” weighing 125–140 g. The skin is thin. The shade ranges from almost white to lime, with a touch of pinkish or crimson "blush" in areas exposed to the sun. The pulp is creamy, often with reddish veins. Productivity - 110-170 kg. The plant “rests” every 4–5 years.

A variety originally from Canada, bred in the 30s of the twentieth century, a "clone" of Grushovka Moskovskaya. Outwardly, the fruits are slightly similar, but the Mantet is larger and sweeter. The tree is not too tall (3-4 m), but powerful, with a spreading, not particularly dense crown. Shoots are located in relation to the trunk at an acute angle. Frost resistance - no more than -20–25ºС.
The weight of the fruit is about 180 g, the apples are elongated, the ribs are difficult to feel, mostly closer to the stalk. The skin is thin, greenish, with long-term storage may turn yellow. The presence of an orange-pink "blush" is characteristic. A variety from the dessert category - snow-white pulp, with a slight but noticeable sourness. The "apple" smell is very weak.
Mantet - "improved version" of Grushovka Moskovskaya
The ripening time of the crop stretches from late July to early September. It depends on how warm and sunny it was in the summer. Shelf life fresh apples - no more than 12-15 days. You need to have time to collect them before they are overripe and crumble. The first crop is harvested 3-4 years after planting. Trees under 15 years of age bear fruit annually, then once every 4–5 years they need “rest”. The yield (40-60 kg) increases if other apple trees grow nearby (Melba, Melba Red, White filling).
Cinnamon New
Widely known since the 70s of the last century, an autumn variety of Soviet selection, obtained from the cross-pollination of Cinnamon striped and Welsey. The tree is large, with a thickened crown. Frost resistance - up to -37–40ºС.

The subcutaneous dots are beige-gray. The pulp is straw-yellow, loose, but juicy, fragrant. The taste is balanced, sweet and sour. Professional tasters rated it 4.4 out of 5 points.
Apple trees of the Cinnamon New variety are valued by breeders for their high winter hardiness
The variety cannot be called fast-growing; the first harvest will have to wait 6–8 years. Fruits are harvested in the middle or in the last decade of September. Ripe apples are firmly attached to the branches. Under optimal conditions, they will not deteriorate within 15-18 weeks. The yield increases as the tree grows from 15–20 kg to 140–180 kg. The advantage of the variety is its high resistance to fungal diseases typical of apple trees, especially scab. Special attention when leaving you need to pay proper watering - if a prolonged "drought" is replaced by an excess of moisture, the fruits crack.
Anise Gray (or Striped)
An old variety originally from the Volga region. Its origin could not be reliably established. It is widely used in modern breeding for breeding new frost-resistant varieties.
The tree is distinguished by its growth rate, reaching 5–6 m in height. The crown is thick, sloppy, reminiscent of a broom put on the handle. Leaves are slightly wrinkled, concave along the central vein.
Anise Gray (Striped) - a variety of apples of national selection
Fruits are not too large (about 130 g), about the same size, strongly flattened, with pronounced ribs. The pale green skin is covered with a pinkish "blush" of spots and streaks. The fact that the apple is ripe can be judged by the presence of a layer of bluish bloom. The pulp is white or greenish, juicy, of good taste and with a characteristic "apple" aroma.
Fruits ripen in late August. For stable fruiting, pollinators are needed - Borovinka, Bellefleur-Kitaika, Iyulskoe Chernenko. The first apples will have to wait 5–6 years. Yield indicators - 240-300 kg, the productive period of the tree's life - 90-100 years. Apples will last for 8-10 weeks, and they tolerate transportation well.
Anise Gray is very hardy and unpretentious. Trees are not particularly damaged by heat, drought, frost, they are undemanding to the type of substrate, resistant to bacterial cancer, somewhat less - to scab and powdery mildew.
