Russian breeders have bred many varieties of fruit trees, but nevertheless the most significant among them is occupied by apple trees, which, however, is not surprising. After all, it was these trees that almost became a symbol of our fruit growing.
Today, the object of our close attention will be the Sinap Orlovsky apple tree, the features of agricultural technology and varietal characteristics of which we will consider.
This breed is relatively new, since the State certification passed only in 1989. But almost immediately, these apple trees became very common in both industrial and private gardens.
The apple tree “synap Orlovsky” is characterized by average dimensions, a wide crown. All the main branches differ in the right angle of departure of the branches from the trunk, and their ends are directed upwards. In spring, the apple tree turns into a real decoration of the garden, as its large flowers of light pink color look amazingly beautiful.
But the main wealth of this tree is its fruits. Apples on it grow either large, or noticeably larger than the average. Their shape is round-conical; the apex is usually somewhat beveled. They are distinguished by a dense skin, on the surface of which a certain oily tint is clearly visible.
Among other things, the Sinap Oryol apple tree is noticeably distinguished by the pulp of its fruits, which has a slightly greenish tint. These apples are very juicy, tasty, with an ideal ratio of acid and sweetness. Typically, the trees are very winter-hardy, but because their cultivation in central Russia does not cause any problems. With hares and mice, the variety deteriorates moderately, but for the winter it is still recommended to whiten the trunk. The tree begins to bear fruit at the age of only four to five years, which compares favorably with the varieties of earlier selection.
In general, the “synap Orlovsky” apple tree is extremely good in comparison with the same legendary Antonovka in that it even has a very stable crop that is not dependent on any annual cycles. By the way, the fruits are very resistant to scab, which also makes them an attractive acquisition for your garden.
Once again, we note that the trees are large, and therefore it is not worth saving when laying a site for them.
Moreover, it is better to fork out for
soil analysis in advance
, since the Sinap Orlovsky apple variety is very sensitive to calcium deficiency, which can often be found only after the next crop is completely infected with diseases, and the fruit will not taste very good .
You can remove apples starting around the end of September. Subject to storage conditions and pre-treatment of containers, it is possible to enjoy the taste of fresh fruits until May. If you carefully harvested and prevented beating, then rot is practically not observed.
It is not surprising that with such an attractive ratio of consumer properties, the Sinap Orlovsky apple tree (the description of which we presented) turned out to be highly in demand by manufacturers of juices and baby food. From a hectare of garden you can remove up to 170 quintals of fruit.
