Apple-tree Brown: variety reviews

• Anastasia Semyonovna, Yekaterinburg: “I liked growing the Brown apple variety. Of the many varieties I have grown in the past, I can say that the Brown apple tree has excellent cold and frost resistance. Also, in spite of the fact that I had to wait for apples for a very long time (the Brown apple trees always come late into full fruiting), the Brown apples themselves are incredibly tasty. "

The fact is that the wood of the Brown apple tree has a tendency to split easily, which entails a very frequent rupture of the trunk. And the yield of the Brown apple tree is at an average level. But the taste ... the taste of the Brown apple variety is wonderful, we use the whole family both fresh and cooked. "
