Jung's apple tree: reviews of gardeners

«The apple tree grows at my relative's dacha in Barnaul. The tree is already 10 years old, of course, the size is impressive. Stretched out for such a time by 3 meters. The trunk is strong and wide, nothing grows under it. In the period of time when a relative planted Junga, she planted the Darkie, but in size she grew somewhere by 1.5 meters. For all the time the tree grew well, it did not come out. If the branches froze, then she removed them, and the plant grew further. Apples in the light seem to be transparent, the taste of the fruits is excellent. The children especially liked the apples. I also bought 2 seedlings, planted in two different places. Two trees were not frozen. We, of course, have frosts below -40 ̊С. Apple trees are already 7 years old, the yield is high. I share apples even with my colleagues, everyone really likes it ".

“A variety of apple varieties grow on my site: Zavetny, Smuglyanka, Yubileiny, Surkhurai, Shafran, Yunga. This year there were large snowdrifts, and in the spring a large number of rodents and hares bred. To make it easier to survive the winter, you need to wrap the crown of apple trees with plastic bottles. I purchased plastic containers, removed the bottom and top of the bottle. Made a line along and shod the trunks. Since Yoongi's apple trees are dwarf ones, I wrapped them around with old used tights. Using this method, the apple trees remained safe and sound. The lower branches had to be removed, but they will then grow back. I repeat this measure every year. To rodents in in winter they did not start making burrows, you need to trample the snow near the trunk and pour water on the near-stem circle. "

“My apple tree is 5 years old. I got the plant on the advice of my friends. This, of course, is a semi-cultivated apple tree, but the apples will grow large with a weight of about 70 g. Productivity appeared in 3 years of growth, usually apple trees bear fruit later. There were a large number of inflorescences at the initial stage, but they literally immediately disappeared. This happened most likely because the apple tree was very young. During the first year, 2 fruits have grown, very, very tasty. They are literally transparent in the sun. The next year, 7 liters of apples were harvested. I made excellent fruit jam ”.
