Autumn varieties of apple trees: for central Russia and for the Moscow region with a photo and description

For those who decide to break the apple orchard, it is worth taking the selection of varieties very carefully. In addition to the fact that the apple tree should give a good harvest of fruits, the acquired variety must be adapted to grow in the region. In addition, every gardener wants to harvest until the frost, and store until the beginning of summer next year. A good choice for long preservation will be the planting of autumn varieties of apples.

Late ripening varieties

Late-ripening varieties are suitable for long-term preservation. Subject to temperature conditions and humidity in the bins, apples of these varieties have a marketable appearance until June-July of the next season, suitable for commercial use. Varieties and hybrids of apple trees with the name and description presented in the article are favorites of gardeners in many regions of the former USSR.

Bellefleur chinese

More than a hundred years ago, by pollination of two varieties: Yellow Bellefleur and Ordinary Chinese large-fruited, a hybrid form of this variety was obtained. The vaccine grafted on a mentor is adapted to severe climatic conditions. Due to the characteristics obtained, it is possible to grow a hybrid in any region.

The hybrid form consists of tall trees with a wide rounded crown, rich green foliage. Fruits in the stage of technical maturity differ in mass: most apples have 120-180 g, one fourth reaches 400-550 g. Some gardening enthusiasts specially grow this variety in order to use the largest fruits at exhibitions and regular marketplaces of wide importance .

During the harvest period - in the middle-end of September, the fruits of the hybrid have a pale yellow color. Within two to three weeks, the color of the apples changes to pale pink. Ripe fruits are juicy, sweet with a slight acidity. Planted apple trees yield the fourth year. Seasonal yield returns remain stable. Despite the presence of very large fruits, they never crumble from the tree even when damaged by pests and diseases. Distinctive properties:

• good taste;
• stable yield every year;
• ripening fruit too late.

Fruits are formed mainly on short shoots with underdeveloped lateral buds. On one fruit branch, two to three apples are formed. Fruits have a rounded shape with a narrowed cup.In technical maturity, apples of this variety have a pale green color, fine-grained hard flesh of a snow-white color. The taste of fruits is sweet with a pronounced aroma. The weight of an average apple of this variety reaches 150-170 g, some fruits reach a weight of 350-420 g. Characteristic features:

A hybrid apple tree, bred by crossing two parental forms: Isaevsky dessert and Melba. The resulting species is more resistant to Venturia inaequalis marsupials than its parents. It also withstands frosts down to -39 degrees.

The fast-growing mid-growth tree has a round mid-leaf apical part.It differs in medium-sized fruits, reaching 145-205 g of a broad-conical ribbed shape.

• resistance to the three races of scab;
• not requiring the formation and trimming of the crown.

Oryol pioneer

The hybrid form obtained by cross-pollination of two varieties: SR 0523 and Antonovka. After passing the tests at the Institute of Breeding, it is recommended for cultivation in central areas.

Trees of medium vigor have a round crown of medium density. Medium-sized fruits weighing 125-165 g have the shape of a turnip, glossy dry pale yellow skin. On most of the peel is a blurred blush of raspberry colored strokes not the same size. The white-green core is juicy without a pronounced aroma. Distinctive features:

• increased immunity to the four races of scab;
• good presentation;
• fruit size reduction during overload.

Autumn Susova

A variety that does not have a precisely identified genetic origin. Selected among the best seedlings about thirty years ago, the originating scientist V. Susov. After the tests, the plant proved to be a promising apple tree, recommended for cultivation in: Moscow, Vladimir, Ivanovo, Tver, Tula, Yaroslavl regions.

A medium-sized plant with a round spreading crown. It is distinguished by fruits reaching a mass of 105-125 g of an elongated symmetrical shape with a weakly pronounced ribbing. The yellow-red dense peel has no subcutaneous moles. Snow-white pulp juicy medium density sour-sweet wine taste. Characteristic properties:

• relative resistance to the Venturia inaequalis genome;
• frost resistance.
