Apple tree Sinap Orlovsky: reviews

What does the Sinap Orlovsky apple variety look like?

Alena, thirty-five years old, the city of St. Petersburg:

“The Sinap Orlovsky apple variety is the latest variety in our country house. With the family, we harvest the fruits in the first week of October before the first cold weather and immediately put them on the maintenance. Freshly picked apples with a higher acidity than after storage are quite tough, but after storage for several months the apples acquire good taste. The husband said that all late varieties sin with this, namely, they sing when they are kept. We eat apples with our family until mid-spring and we like them. I grow an apple tree without chemicals and fertilizing, so that there is nothing superfluous. "

Ivan Vasilievich, forty-five years old, the city of Vladimir:

“I grow such apple varieties as Sinap Orlovsky and Sinap Severny on my personal plot. Apple trees were grafted onto seedlings grown from seed material, the scion was taken not in the nursery, but from friends. I like Sinap Orlovsky more to my taste, there are more apples. However, of the minuses, I can note excessively tall trees. It is inconvenient to clean the area and take care of the tree. But my wife offered to buy a hammock and hang it between the apple trees, the branches are quite powerful, and the trunk is strong and strong, they will stand us! "

Natalia, seventy-one years old, the city of Moscow:

“There is a good and proven nursery in my city, and there I bought this variety. Fruits with a lot of sweet juice, and a slight sourness is felt in the taste, I am thinking of buying a couple of Sinap Orlovsky apple-tree saplings. "

Apple tree Sinap Orlovsky: landing

Like all fruit crops, the Sinap Orlovsky apple variety prefers fertile, breathable soils. Does not tolerate swampy areas and the proximity of groundwater. A site with a sufficient amount of sunlight, no drafts and cold winds is selected for landing.

Autumn

Planting in autumn is recommended for fruit trees of three to four years of age with a high level of resistance to cold and frost. Such planting materials at an age adapt less well to new growing conditions, but they withstand cold weather better. It is carried out at the end of the first - in the second week of the second autumn month before the arrival of frost.

Spring

Planting in spring is recommended for apple trees of one to two years of age, which do not have a high level of resistance to cold and frost, but simpler requirements for cultivation.

It is carried out in the second week of the second spring month after the snow melts and ends in the second week of the last spring month before a strong movement of apple juice.

Recommendation! An apple tree of one - two years of age is less likely to get sick when planting and adapts better than three - four year old apple trees.

Several important points when planting a fruit tree so that it adapts well:

• do not deepen the grafting site of the planting material, it should be located five to seven centimeters from the ground.
• tie the planting material to the stake. Drafts and wind shake the apple tree in different directions and so small sucking roots can fall off.
• do not use a fresh mullein in the planting hole, as the root system will have burns. With a mullein, it is possible to create a layer of mulch near the trunk, but not closer than ten centimeters, only when planting in the spring.
• when planting in the fall, cover the apple tree for the winter season with a special white covering material.
• when planting a fruit tree in heavy, oily soil, use sand, it will increase the moisture permeability and air permeability of the soil. Black soil should be added to the sandy soil.

Apple tree Sinap Orlovsky: leaving

In order for the Sinap Orlovsky apple tree to grow normally and bring a large amount of harvest, it is necessary to pay attention to its health and growing conditions.

This variety of apples does not require special agricultural technology and a lot of attention. Agricultural technology for apple trees includes pruning the crown, moisturizing during drought and spring and winter fertilization, if desired.

The only distinguishing feature of this fruit tree is the requirement for the calcium content in the soil. Without it, the number of fruits will noticeably decrease. It is possible to find out that calcium is lacking by the foliage, namely by its bluish color, its darkening and curling.

Note! Heavy soil is more saturated with calcium than sandy soil.

You can restore the lack of calcium with the help of lime dressings, for example, chalk, dolomite flour, slaked lime, crushed eggshells.

Pruning

• pruning of the crown can be carried out in early spring or at the end of autumn, however, before the arrival of cold weather.
• in the summer season, it is possible to remove extremely heavily infected branches, thoroughly covering the cut area with garden pitch.
• in the autumn and spring seasons, tops, branches growing strictly vertically, as well as infected branches are removed.

Shaping the crown

A procedure is carried out to shape the crown, thereby removing thickened branches and giving the apple tree the necessary shape:

• rounded.
• pyramidal.
• discharged-tiered.

Distinctive features of the harvest process

Like most of this fruit crop, this variety is self-fertile, which means it requires pollination from other varieties. It is recommended to give preference to the following varieties of apples:

• "Saffron pepin".
• "North synap".
• "Zhigulevskoe".
• Wesley.
• Antonovka.

The Sinap Orlovsky apple variety begins to harvest when it reaches four to five years of age immediately after planting. And an apple tree on a dwarf rootstock bears its first fruits when it reaches the age of three. Planting material on vigorous rootstocks yields a harvest when it reaches five or six years of age.

Apples ripen at the end of the first or at the beginning of the second autumn months. The harvesting process is not stretched, it is possible to remove all the apples from the apple tree at one time. A fruit is considered ripe if its stem is simply removed from the branch.

The harvesting process for this variety occurs every year, even for an aged apple tree. Fruit buds are laid on short and elongated fruit branches, however, they are also laid on simple and complex ringlets.

Types of this variety of apple trees

Semi-dwarf

The usual cultivation option for this variety is on semi-dwarf rootstocks.

This will speed up the time for the beginning of the harvesting process to four to five years immediately after planting and lowers the gigantic height of the apple tree to four hundred fifty to five hundred centimeters up.

Fruit trees cultivated on semi-dwarf rootstocks have a shallow root system that goes deep into the ground by two hundred fifty to three hundred centimeters.

On vigorous rootstocks

Planting materials cultivated on vigorous rootstocks grow five hundred and fifty to six hundred centimeters up, they have a deep root system that can reach sources of liquid. These apple trees start to harvest late, but life expectancy is much higher - up to forty-five years.

On clone rootstocks

The fastest growing variety and does not require complex agricultural techniques, planting materials cultivated on clonal rootstocks, from seed material of tall and viable fruit trees. These apple trees grow up to seven hundred centimeters and have a spreading crown five to six hundred centimeters in breadth.These trees are not capricious at all, live up to sixty years, practically do not suffer from diseases, but they bring crops late, sometimes only when they reach ten years of age, bring attractive fruits.

Note! In especially fruitful periods, the dimensions of apples can change to a smaller extent. In order to avoid this, summer residents process half of the ovaries, thereby rationing the fruits.

Dwarf

For areas with a close location of groundwater, fruit trees on dwarf rootstocks are suitable. Their root system does not go deeper below one hundred and fifty to two hundred centimeters deep, which means that it does not need a garter to a stake in the first two to three years immediately after disembarkation.

The height of apple trees on dwarf rootstocks is not higher than two hundred and fifty - three hundred centimeters, they begin to yield the fastest of all, when they reach two or three years of age.

A related variety of this variety is "Northern Sinap". They have many similar features, but the second grade has even smaller apples.

Cultivation in the Moscow region and the Volga region

The apple tree Sinap Orlovsky is excellent for climatic conditions in the Middle Volga and Central regions. The ripening of the crop in these regions begins a little earlier than in the West Siberian District.

During the particularly cold winter seasons, the tops of young apple trees can freeze if not taken care of to protect them.

Where to buy planting material?

It is recommended to buy apple seedlings Sinap Orlovsky in proven nurseries located in the region of poor cultivation. In particular, planting material that has germinated up to three to four years of age. It is difficult for them to adapt to new conditions, especially colder ones.

For a normal harvesting process, buy planting materials exclusively from trusted stores.

It is possible to buy an apple tree from private summer residents who cultivate apple trees for industrial purposes. However, the salesperson may not always be honest with you.

Note! Acquisition of a fruit tree through social networks is also not always a good solution, since even healthy planting material can be damaged during transportation.

Recommendations

• after planting young planting materials, do not wet them more than once a week. Due to an excessive amount of moisture, the root system does not have access to oxygen, the apple tree grows worse and can die.
• the tender sprouts of young fruit trees are preferred by many parasites. To prevent the ants from breaking off and transferring the twigs, get a sticky hunting belt and tie it around the trunk. This method will help get rid of parasites for the entire summer season.
• if in doubt about the amount of necessary dressings, apply less rather than more. Excessive fertilization can cause chemical burns on the tree.
• all infected branches, foliage and crops are taken outside the territory and burned. Spores of herbaceous fungi can be airborne, thereby contaminating other herbaceous fungi.
• to remove fruits from the highest branches will help special equipment - "fruit stripper". It can be bought in special nurseries or made with your own hands.
