The only drawback for me is that the apple tree of this variety bears fruit irregularly, but otherwise, it is an excellent variety for growing. "
• Ekaterina Viktorovna, Sverdlovsk region: “The Yantarka apple tree appeared on my garden plot relatively recently, but has already managed to please with a rich harvest.
