Lobo variety was created in Canada as a result of free pollination of seeds taken from a
Macintosh apple. It is considered a winter ripening culture.
In the early stages, the Lobo apple tree grows rapidly. In this period, an oval-shaped vertical crown is formed in her. But over the years, tree growth slows, stopping at an average height. The shape of the crown also changes, which becomes wide-round, sparse. The fruiting of this crop mainly focuses on the coils and twigs.
Apple tree Lobo throws shoots with medium thickness, somewhat curved and cranked. Their color is dark brown with a cherry tint.
Lentils of this culture are large with an oval shape, and internodes with an average length.
Apple-tree Lobo, whose photo clearly shows ovoid large green leaves with strongly rounded tips and a heart-shaped base, has petioles of a wedge-shaped or lanceolate shape with small stipules.
Fruits are almost always large. Very rarely found are fruits with a small size. Their shape can be either round-conical or flattened-rounded. Apples of this variety are characterized by a smooth silver surface with a pronounced wax coating.
Apple tree Lobo, a description of which can be found in any specialized literature, gives fruits with a yellowish-green color. They are almost completely covered with a blurry marble of raspberry red blush.
This variety belongs to the early, yielding a high yield each year. Their flesh is white and juicy, with a fine-grained texture of a pleasant sweet-sour taste.
Experts note the high resistance of this tree to arid weather conditions. Another advantage of the variety is its relative winter hardiness. At the same time, the Lobo apple tree is weakly resistant to fungal infections.
Today, this culture can be found in climate-friendly regions in many garden plots growing in stlanza and strain-boy forms. Moreover, in a very cold winter, the ground part of the tree freezes, but thanks to the living parts remaining under the snow on the crown, it is restored again.
The fruits that the Lobo apple tree gives are usually harvested in late September or early October, sometimes even a little later. They ripen in storage conditions only by January. When packing apples in ordinary plastic bags, they are well preserved until June.
Experts recommend that summer residents before planting seedlings must determine the level of groundwater in the area, because if the root system gets into them, the Lobo apple tree may begin to develop poorly. As a result, it will begin to produce small yields, as well as lose its hardiness and, in the end, die.
It is advisable to plant trees where ground flows pass at a depth of more than three meters.
In addition, when purchasing seedlings, it is imperative to pay attention to the fact that both branches and roots are elastic. In addition, the place of vaccination should be clearly visible on the cortex.
The timing of planting this variety of apples depends on the climate of a particular area. In the regions of the middle zone, seedlings are placed in the ground three weeks before the onset of frost - somewhere from mid-October. Whereas in northern places with little snow, it is better to land in spring, in the last week of April.
