Apple-tree Ural Nalivnoe

It turns out many years ago that it was difficult to find an apple tree in the Urals, and therefore people bought ranetki, which were poured into glasses. However, around the 50s, Chelyabinsk breeders bred the Uralskoye nalivnoe variety, and to this day people enjoy the fruits of this culture. After that, many other varieties of apple trees began to be bred. However, this article will focus specifically on the Ural Nalivnoe variety.

The apple variety Uralskoe nalivnoe was obtained by crossing two varieties. This is Papirovka and Ranetka is red. This innovation belongs to the Chelyabinsk professor P.A. Zhavoronkov. The history of the variety begins in the 40s of the 20th century.

The apple-tree Uralskoe bulk turned out to be very resistant to cold weather and could take root well and quickly after planting. Apple tree began to be actively cultivated in all the gardens of the Urals, and then the cultivation area expanded to the Far East and Kazakhstan.

The apple variety Uralskoe bulk blooms early - around the beginning of June, without fear of spring return frosts. Two and a half quintals of delicious fruits can be harvested from one tree. The size of the fruit is not large, but the aroma and taste of the pulp are unique. The fruits can hang on the tree for a long time when ripe. Therefore, even when harvesting in several stages, you do not risk losing part of it. The tree grows very quickly and recovers from damage. If you do not form the crown of the apple tree, then the trunk can reach eight meters. In autumn, branches with fruits hang beautifully under their weight.

The taste of the apple pulp of the Ural bulk variety is sweet, with a slight sourness. The fruits are recommended for people with gastrointestinal problems and ulcers, as indicated by patients with excessive stomach acidity. The pulp of the fruit is not at all tough, but rather soft and loose, with a honey aftertaste. The fruits are rich in vitamin C and low in sugars.

Apple-tree Ural bulk begins fruiting very quickly, already the next year after grafting. Under certain grafting conditions, fruiting can be achieved in the very first season. The apple tree yields annually and consistently, constantly increasing the number of fruiting branches, and accordingly increasing the yield. When the tree is three years old, there is already a risk that it will break under the weight of its own harvest. 20 tons of fruit can be yielded by 1 hectare of the Ural bulk. One tree produces about 200 kg of apples.

Both the Uralskoye bulk apple tree and its pollinator Uralets bloom at the same time in early summer. During this period, you can no longer worry about night frosts, even in regions with the most severe winters. Therefore, the ovaries are formed smoothly and without hindrance.

The apple harvest begins in September. Here, the harvest time will depend on the purpose for which the apple tree is grown. For the preparation of juice and for compotes, the fruits are plucked first of all, when the peel is still hard and the pulp is very juicy. For fresh consumption, they are harvested a little later and the last apples are removed, which have a friable pulp for making jams of other blanks.

Fruits, twigs and growths bear fruit regularly, therefore they quickly become old, so this apple variety must be cut regularly. By weight, the fruits of the apple tree are not heavy, about 60 grams each. If we are talking about an old tree, then 40 grams at all. The size and shape of all fruits is similar. The apples are yellow in color and have an elongated stalk. Sometimes the fruit has a pink barrel, from the side of sunlight.

Ural bulk apples hang on a branch for a long time without falling off or spoiling. Over time, plaque forms, which is well washed off under running water. If the harvested crop is stored correctly, then the fruits can lie for up to 2 months in an unchanged state. The main thing is to comply with the storage conditions, namely, zero temperature and a humidity level of at least 95% must be maintained.

Apple planting rules Ural bulk

The apple variety Uralskoe bulk is planted, as a rule, in the autumn period, in September. So that before the winter season, the tree has time to form new roots, and it adapts enough. The landing site must be selected in advance. It should be open, sunny, and protected from drafts. Also a prerequisite is the deep bedding of groundwater.

First you need to pre-prepare the planting pit. Its dimensions should not be less than 0.8 meters in all respects. Potassium salt, ash, superphosphate and rotted manure must be thoroughly mixed with the soil. Fathoms are placed in the planting pit together with a peg, which will serve as a support in the future, and the pit is filled with the resulting mixture. Around the trunk, the soil is slightly compacted, you can form a near-trunk circle and lay out a layer of mulch for better protection of the roots and retain moisture.

Despite the fact that the Ural bulk apple tree is capable of bearing fruit in the very first year after planting, it is still better to cut off the first flowers so that the tree gains a lot of strength for further development and growth. To protect the plant from possible diseases and pests, it is necessary to treat the tree for prevention, for example, with Bordeaux mixture, which is very effective against scab. It is also effective against other ailments. It is necessary to process the apple tree before the buds have blossomed, then after the first leaves have appeared, and also before the flowering period. It is forbidden to spray the plant during flowering, otherwise there is a risk of being left without a crop at all.

In the autumn period, it is necessary to prune the crown of the Uralskoye bulk apple tree. Remove weak, diseased and dry branches and remove old branches if necessary. To better prepare the tree for winter, you should whitewash the trunks in order to protect the culture from direct sunlight, and by tying the tree trunk with paper, newspapers or spruce branches, you will save the tree from rodents in winter.

Care rules in the future are reduced to the most common activities. So it is necessary to regularly shape the crown of the tree, carrying out sanitary and anti-aging pruning. This will not only give the tree a beautiful and neat appearance, but also increase its resistance to diseases. Also, every 2 weeks, the tree should be treated with Bordeaux mixture in order to avoid the occurrence of scab. This procedure can be performed approximately 7 times. The tree should be fed periodically with mineral complexes, as well as anti-fungal agents. Whitewashing will be the preliminary procedures before the winter months. Optimally organize a new layer of mulch. Peat, straw or sawdust are perfect mulch.

As a companion for vaccination, you can safely use any varieties, Antonovka is perfect. If the apple tree grows in a cold region, then it is better to inoculate it on quince, black chokeberry or red mountain ash to grow it in stanza form.This combination is good because the trees in this case will not grow tall, but will reach a maximum, growing by 2.5 meters. It is easier for a medium-sized tree to endure the cold season, since it can calmly pass the dormant stage, being tied under the snow cover.

The Ural and Siberian winters are very harsh and unpredictable, just like the weather in other seasons. Therefore, the strongest and most unpretentious winter-hardy crops are grown here. The most resistant to cold are bushy ranetki. They have small fruits about 15 grams in weight. Semi-crops have fruits of about 30 grams in weight, and are distinguished by an average level of winter hardiness. Varieties with large fruits are not characterized by high resistance to severe frosts.

• Autumn yellow... This crop grows up to 7 meters in height, is distinguished by yellow small fruits that ripen in September. Also, the variety is characterized by branches hanging under the weight of the fruits.
• Stamper... In order to reduce the growth of the tree, they are grafted onto the "insert" of a dwarf species. Because of this trick, you can get a stunted tree with roots deeply embedded in the soil, which will ensure better development and fruiting.
• Dwarf species... Here, grafting is done on quince rootstocks, on mountain ash. Thus, a culture is obtained that does not reach more than 2.5. meters in height, therefore it becomes available for processing and harvesting. This type is becoming more and more popular, since it is easier to care for such plants and mechanical processing can be introduced here.
• Semi-culture. This type of apple variety has small fruits and good winter resistance. This species was obtained from the wild, therefore it is called semi-cultivated. However, the species has a great advantage over other species, as it adapts very quickly to new and changing growing conditions. In addition, damaged tissues are quickly restored. Timely pruning should be done, as the branches quickly thicken the crown.

Growing rules depending on the region

After breeding, the apple variety Uralskoe bulk was recommended for cultivation in the gardens of the Urals and Siberia. Since it was in these territories, due to weather conditions, the choice of apple varieties was small. Local summer residents were satisfied with the quick adaptation and survival of the apple tree, as well as the level of its yield and the taste of the fruits. However, in Siberia they began to grow Ural liquor relatively recently, no more than 50 years ago. In addition, the professionals complemented the advantages of the variety by crossing the variety with Sibirka. These varieties in a duet give an excellent harvest along with unpretentiousness and are suitable for growing varieties even in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

In places where it is especially cold and frosty in winter, it is advantageous to grow standard species with a dwarf insert. Since this method makes it possible to grow plants in the form of stanches.

It is necessary to constantly do formative pruning, since if this is missed, the tree will quickly age. If, nevertheless, this happened, it is necessary to correct the situation already in the very first spring, after the snow has melted. It is necessary to visually highlight several tiers at the crown and cut out all branches, leaving no more than 3 or 4 strong healthy branches. Do not be afraid here, because even if you remove a lot of shoots, this variety will be able to increase the required composition in a short time. But thinning the crown will allow the tree to bear fruit better and protect against fungal infections and other diseases.

It is best to buy seedlings from direct producers, namely from nurseries or breeding points. In addition, fairs are held annually in autumn where you can buy quality seedlings at retail.Such events are held in many cities of the Urals and nearby regions.

Conclusion

Thus, thanks to the work of breeders, it became possible to grow apple trees of the Uralskoye Nalivnoe variety where previously they could only dream of it. Due to the capricious weather and harsh winters, apple orchards could hardly be found in the Urals and Siberia. But now crops are grown not only in the Ural region, but throughout Siberia, as well as in the northern part. Do not forget about the basic rules of care, especially such as regular pruning of the crown and treatment of the crop against diseases. In addition, it is necessary to remember about planting a pollinator for the full ripening of the fruits.
