This apple variety was bred by breeders back in 1957. It's kind of a hybrid. A little later, the work of Sedov and Trofimova was recognized as elite. The native place of apples of this family is the Baltic countries. A humid climate develops there, so it is difficult for the tree to tolerate drought, which so often happens in the south.

The fruit tree is planted in spring or autumn. Care must be taken that the buds have not yet blossomed. It is very important to plant the planting material on time, so that in the event of cold weather, it will already take root. This should take 2-3 months.

The hole for planting a tree must be prepared in advance. That is, if you need to plant a sprout in the spring, then dig a hole in the fall. If you need to plant a seedling in the autumn, then the hole is dug in the summer.

Important! The Orlovskoe apple tree actively grows and bears fruit in fertile and moist soil. But you cannot plant a seedling next to groundwater.

The planting hole should be 1 meter in diameter and 80 cm deep. Forest soil, organic and mineral fertilizers act as a nutrient composition. The prepared mixture is laid out 1/3 in the pit. Then it is carefully planted to the base of the cone and the bottom of the pit.

The roots must be sprinkled with soil mixed with humus and watered well.Sprinkle on top with the remaining earth and water. After planting, add fertilizers:

  • 2 buckets of compost for 1 tree;
  • 1 kg of wood ash;
  • superphosphate;
  • manure.

Important! It is forbidden to add nitrogen-containing fertilizers, as they slow down the survival rate of the tree.

There should be an interval of 6 meters between the rows, and 4 meters between the planting material. This is an important condition so that the trees do not interfere with each other's growth, and the crowns do not cross. Small trees are planted a little closer.

If the soil is very acidic, you need to dig up the ground and add slaked lime. Phosphorus supplements cannot be combined with lime products.

Care

The tree bears fruit well if fertilized regularly. If there are rodents in the garden, the root system should be covered with a net or whitewashed. The apple tree loves light, which means that the area where the trees grow should be well lit. Otherwise, there will be no rich harvest, and the fruits will not be so sweet.

When choosing a place, it is better to give preference to an area where there are no obstacles to sunlight

In drought, trees require more watering. It is recommended to water about 5 times per month. Moreover, a bucket of water will go to 1 tree. Irrigation works are carried out in the morning and evening hours. Water the plants during the period of bud formation and fruit pouring. This period usually falls in July and August.

When choosing a place for planting an apple tree, you need to stay on sandy loam, floodplain, loamy soil. Sandy soils are too demanding, they need regular watering and feeding.

The grass is mowed between rows and the soil is loosened at the trunk. In order for the tree to survive the frosts, the land is treated with horse humus. The bottom of the barrel can be wrapped with nylon tights. Fertilizers are usually added in the spring (up to 10 kg per square meter). In the fall, you can fertilize the soil with nitrogen-free products.

Humus (rotted manure)

Pruning begins from the moment of planting work. When the lowest branch is above 0.5 m, the trunk is shortened to 80 cm, leaving almost no branches. Rubbing branches are also removed. They are cut out so that not even hemp remains.

Long branches are shortened. The lower ones are folded back so that they are at a right angle to the trunk and tied to pegs.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

The advantages of this variety include the fact that the apple tree harvest begins to delight farmers early. As early as 4 years after planting, gardeners will be able to enjoy bulk apples. There are also disadvantages of the fruit tree - yield decreases with age. But this indicator applies not only to this variety, but to most trees.

Early yield

If you create favorable storage conditions, then the fruits will be preserved right up to winter. Apples contain a large amount of vitamins. And thanks to dietary fiber, eating apples improves digestion and speeds up metabolic processes. Vitamin A improves vision. The main advantage of the variety is its frost resistance.

Diseases and pests

Farmers suffer from a common apple disease - scab. It affects fruits and leaves, due to which the yield rate decreases, the appearance of the tree worsens. Spraying chemicals kills the scab.

But the apple fruits of this family are resistant to this type of disease. This is their main advantage. If caterpillars crawl on the tree, you can wrap the trunk with Velcro, and then harmful insects will not be able to get to the fruits. You can also whitewash all tree trunks in the garden in the spring.

Whitewashing the trunk

The apple tree can get sick with cytosporosis. This is a fungal disease characterized by the appearance of black spots on the bark of a tree. When neglected, the bark gradually dies off, and the tree dies. You can fight fungal infection by treating the entire garden:

  1. During the period of swelling, the kidneys are sprayed with Hom. For 10 liters of water, 40 grams of the product is used.
  2. Before flowering, they are treated with copper sulfate. For 10 liters of water, 50 grams of the drug is used.
  3. After flowering, Hom is applied again.
  4. Before freezing, it is better to fertilize with a combination of phosphorus and potassium. For these purposes, Nitrofoska is suitable.50 grams of funds is used per square meter.
