“Good afternoon everyone, the apple variety Kitayka golden early has been growing in my dacha for ten years already. The fruit tree is unpretentious, since it does not need constant agricultural technology, does not freeze from November to February, and most importantly, it brings a crop every year.

I also decided to grow this variety on my own in my country house, five years have passed since I planted it. I got a seedling on a verified site, I was not disappointed. The first year I was very tired, everything collapsed in an instant, parasites, diseases, pruning had to be carried out regularly. And now I only carry out prophylaxis against parasites. The harvest is magical, I prefer to eat apples raw, but apple tinctures are no worse. Recommended to all neighbors. "

“I would like to share my opinion and experience on cultivating the apple variety Kitayka Zolotaya early. For thirty one years I have been a professional gardener, growing everything from flowering to berry herb. This variety is in second place in my personal ranking of apple trees, but for me it is more of a decoration for the garden than a source of vitamins. During the first year after planting the apple tree in the garden, it is necessary to shape the crown by removing unnecessary branches, without touching only the main ones, there are about five of them. Then I cut back on the annual growth of the tree. To my surprise, the apples turned out to be delicious, because I didn’t like their taste before, as I mentioned earlier, I like them more as decoration. My wife loves to cook compotes for children, I like jam or jam more. If you want to have both a beautiful tree and functional, then turn your attention to this. It is worth telling about the flowering process, it's just magic in real life, you are surrounded by a delicate smell and beautiful flowers. "
