Apple fruits The red bunch can be eaten fresh, but the main direction of application is the preparation of various compotes, juice, canned products. The variety can be attributed to the early-growing species, since full-fledged fruiting occurs as early as 3-4 years after direct planting at the main growing site. The amount of yield of a moderate type and with industrial cultivation can be harvested up to 70 centners for each hectare of planting area. Weakly expressed periodicity of productivity.
Apple trees Red cluster endowed with increased resistance to cold winter. Self-fertile characteristics at a high level. But weakened immunity to such a disease as scab.
