Ranetki are hybrid varieties obtained by crossing wild Siberian apple trees with large-fruited European varieties. All of them are distinguished by their small fruit size and sourish tart taste. It is the size of the fruit that gardeners often attribute to the disadvantages of these varieties. But many change their minds about ranetki when they find out that they surpass almost all other varieties in frost resistance, and therefore you can harvest in the northern regions. Apple tree Laletino is the fastest growing variety of all ranetki, its delicious apples are suitable for the preparation of any workpieces, are characterized by a high content of vitamins and other useful substances.
