Apple Tree Climber

Content:

Apple tree Climber was bred at the Scientific Research Institute in the Caucasus, dedicated to mountain and foothill gardening. Thanks to the hybridization of Raneta and Chernenko, a new variety appeared, which was later decided to be called the Alpinist. The author of the apple-tree variety Alpinist is Pavel Kostyk, who carried out all the crosses. This variety was bred specifically for cultivation in most regions with a normal and cold climate, therefore, after its appearance, it quickly spread to many regions with different temperature conditions.

The Climber apple tree reaches up to 6 meters in height and is considered a vigorous tree. After planting, for the first 2-3 years, the crown of the tree resembles the shape of a ball, and then expands slightly, turning into an oval. The branches of the tree are thick and strong, located at an average distance from each other.

Branches of uneven length, there are both long and short branches.
