Before starting to study the rules of planting and caring for the apple variety Anis Aly, we suggest that you carefully familiarize yourself with its external characteristics. Despite the fact that some gardeners ignore them when buying a plant, this should never be done, since you must definitely have a complete understanding of what kind of tree you are growing.

• Wood

Anis Alyy apple tree grows most often up to about six to seven meters. However, these figures are very inaccurate, since they completely depend on the weather and natural conditions in which the plant found itself.

As for the crown of the plant, it grows quite wide and spreading even in comparison with the whole tree as a whole: its diameter most often reaches about seven to eight meters.

Speaking of the shape, it should be noted that it can be described as a pyramid. At least, such a definition has taken root in the circle of gardeners.

We must not forget about other characteristics of this tree, such as, for example, a rather powerful and well-developed trunk, very neat leaves of the correct geometric shape, which also have a rich green color, and branches no less powerful than the trunk itself, which can easily keep a large amount of the crop.

You can collect the first fruits from the tree already in the fifth year of its life. However, you must be prepared for the fact that the harvest will not be too plentiful, which, however, cannot be said about the following years, which will definitely delight you with a lot of apples.

• Fruit

As you probably understand, the size, as well as other qualities of the fruit, will depend not only on the care of the plant and unpredictable weather conditions, but also on how old the apple tree is, since as it grows, its fruits only become larger and juicier.

However, the peak in size falls on the average age of the tree, after which it begins to slowly but surely decline again. However, this decline is not critical.

Speaking of average values, it should be noted that most often one apple weighs about one hundred to eighty grams.

As for the appearance of the fruit: it is quite presentable and attractive. Apples not only have a pretty good shape, but also have a wonderful color, which sometimes, as it might seem, shimmers with silver.

The funnel, to which the stalk is attached, is also present on the apple tree, and it should be noted that it is very well expressed, due to which the fruits are very firmly sitting on the tree and do not fall from it prematurely.

Also, speaking about the color of the fruit, it should be noted that the tone, whatever it may be: from yellowish to red, covers the fruit completely, leaving no spots or stripes on it. This perfect coloring makes the fruit more than great for sale.

The pulp of the Anis Alyy apple variety, like almost all apple trees that ripen late, is very dense, but at the same time juicy, which allows it to have amazing taste.

Its palette of flavors is complemented by sourish as well as sweet, which balance very well with each other, creating a wonderful taste sensation.

Also, the positive qualities of the fruits of the Anis Alyi apple tree include the fact that they tolerate transportation remarkably, and therefore they are not afraid of long-distance transportation, and even long-term storage.

Such qualities are achieved due to the physiological characteristics of the variety, as well as due to the density of the pulp.

Breeding history of the variety

In fact, there is no true history of how this variety was cultivated. All records of how exactly this apple tree was bred have not survived to this day.

Nevertheless, modern scientists can make the assumption that the variety was bred thanks to a specimen of an apple tree imported from abroad, as well as a very good wild apple tree, which, being genetically crossed, gave an excellent variety.

This version is especially well confirmed by a detailed examination of the leaves, since it is their shape and composition that testify to the kinship of the varieties.

However, this assumption has its drawbacks, which are that there is no specific information about which variety the imported apple tree was crossed with.

Therefore, in our time, a huge number of subspecies of this variety appear, which are hybrids of the classic Anis with completely different types of apple trees.

This also leads to the fact that it is almost impossible to find a truly pure apple variety Anis Aly, and the plant that you purchase under his name will most likely differ slightly in details from what we describe in this article.

Growing region

Most often, the Anis Alyy apple tree is used in private plots and is incredibly rarely grown for large-scale production. The tree manifests itself best of all in the Volga region, where weather and soil emphasize its best qualities and compensate for the worst.

However, it should be noted that this apple tree is not in vain considered one of the most persistent and strong varieties of this family, and therefore it is quite difficult to find a corner of our country where this tree would not easily take root. Perhaps the only exception to this rule is distant and frosty Siberia.

It should also be noted that the tree copes well not only with bad weather or lack of moisture, but also with some unpleasant relief elements, such as lowlands or rocky soils.

For the most part, all of the above distinctive qualities of the variety are provided to him by an incredibly powerful root system that breaks through absolutely any soil and is difficult to negatively influence from the outside.

• Variety yield

Of course, since we are talking about a fruit plant, then you are probably interested in how many fruits you can collect from this powerful and unshakable tree.

And, of course, you understand that the answer to this question is incredibly complex, since the number of apples can vary greatly depending on the quality of care, weather and other unpredictable factors.

However, if we talk about average values, you can come up with about two hundred and fifty apples from one tree. At the same time, surprisingly, throughout the life of a tree, the number of fruits will remain approximately the same, but their weight can dramatically change with aging.

Therefore, if we take into account not only the average age of the plant, but also the area of ​​growth, on average we get from one to two and a half centners of fruits from one tree per year.

• Storage conditions for apples

A huge advantage of absolutely all late varieties is that they can retain their marketable appearance and taste for a very long time.

We can say that even in December, apple trees will be about as tasty as those that were just picked from the tree itself.

Nevertheless, of course, to achieve this result, you must adhere to storage rules that will allow you to keep your apples fresh and tasty for a long time.

It is imperative to harvest only in dry weather, since otherwise the storage time of the fruit will be greatly reduced.

This happens due to the removal of a thin waxy layer from the fruit that protects them. That is why, when picking, apples cannot be wiped or washed.

It is best to use wooden or plastic boxes for storage, in which the apples can be neatly arranged and left in a cool place.

Be sure to use pastry parchment, placing it under each layer.

If you add some onion skins to the box (in each separate layer), then you can to some extent overcome the rot that will inevitably appear on some fruits.

As you probably know, half of the success of the future plant lies precisely in the correct planting, in which absolutely all the nuances and the smallest subtleties were observed.

Therefore, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the detailed instructions that will allow you to plant a tree without missing a single important step, as well as making a great contribution to the future:

First of all, even before planting, you have to choose a good site, since doing this in a hurry even when you have a seedling in your hands and you will need to plant it in a couple of days - not a good idea.

Of course, you will have to make sure that the plant receives enough sunlight throughout the day, as well as that the soil on which you plant it is fertile enough. At the same time, it is desirable that they have a neutral acidity level, which is preferred by most of the fruit trees.

The pits for this plant are made quite unusual: their depth reaches only half a meter, but the width is almost one and a half meters, since the walls of the pit must be vertical and at a large angle.

After the hole has been dug, it is also necessary to add fertilizers to it, as they are incredibly important for the correct and rapid development of the plant.

As a fertilizer, rotted manure is used in an amount of twenty-five to thirty-five kilograms. It is also advisable to introduce a little rotted ash into the soil in order to get rid of excess acidity, if any, as well as potassium superphosphate.

It is also very important to ensure that the root collar of the seedling is at least ten centimeters above the ground. It is also very important, when filling the soil, to tamp it well so that air bubbles do not form in it, which can lead to rotting of the roots.

After planting is completed, it is necessary to water the seedling well so that it is easier for it to settle down in a new place.

As for leaving, apple trees are not very whimsical to him. They are generally considered one of the most picky crops grown in such large quantities. Nevertheless, the rules of care still exist, and they must be followed.

Perhaps one of the most important points of caring for this plant is timely and high-quality irrigation, since in its young years this tree does not yet have a well-formed root system.

As for the first watering, it should take place at the end of the flowering period. After this moment, all regular waterings are carried out once a week.

Speaking of average numbers, you will need from twenty to twenty-five liters per watering. However, as you can imagine, these numbers can vary greatly, depending on weather conditions.

Of course, it is necessary to prepare the Anis Scarlet apple tree for frost, despite the fact that this plant has one of the most outstanding frost resistance among apple trees.

Protection is carried out by tying a tree, which does not allow severe frosts, as well as rodents to attack it.

However, even if the plant is slightly damaged during the winter, this damage will be repaired very quickly due to the physiological characteristics of the tree.

Also, a rather important procedure in caring for this tree is periodic pruning, as it allows you to keep the horse in good shape, and also, on average, helps the tree to bring much more harvest.

For the same purposes, you can use both organic and mineral fertilizers. But, of course, it is best to alternate them with each other.

• Powdery mildew is a rather unpleasant disease that manifests itself in the form of a white bloom that affects young vegetative parts of the plant: leaves, shoots and flowers.

In the event that the disease is not stopped in time, it can lead to the complete drying of the affected parts.

In order to prevent infection with this disease, as well as to cope with it, if it has already arisen, it is necessary to use one of the following drugs: Skor or Topaz.

• Scab is an equally unpleasant fungal disease that occurs exclusively if a very high humidity content is maintained in the air for a long time.

It affects absolutely all parts of the plant: from the leaves to the fruits themselves, which leads to the appearance of brown spots on them and to further decay.

In order to overcome this ailment, drugs such as urea solution or copper chloroxide are used.
