What are the varieties?
Despite the relatively young "age", there are several types of Rossoshskoye apple trees, differing in flowering period, type of fruit and other features.

Gold
The Zolotoe variety is listed here to avoid confusion. Trees with this name exist. However, in reality, Rossosh gold is not an apple tree, but a cherry.
Apple yield Rossoshanskoe tasty
Amazing bears fruit 140 days after flowering. The apples stick tightly to the branches and do not crumble. The yield after the first fruiting reaches 100 kilograms. About 200 centners can be harvested from one hectare.
Winter hardiness and disease resistance
Apple tree Amazing tolerates low temperatures well, provided that the rules for preparing the plant for winter are observed. At the same time, frosts up to -6 degrees during the flowering period destroy all future fruits.
Despite the high resistance to the effects of scab, the latter is capable of infecting the plant. Moreover, in this case, not only the trunk suffers, but the entire crop, which is covered with many flaws. Scab develops in the presence of favorable conditions: stagnation of air inside the bark and high environmental humidity.
To prevent infection, it is recommended to regularly add potash fertilizers, ash and compost to the soil, as well as form a crown in a timely manner.
More often the apple tree is affected by the tinder fungus, which manifests itself in the form of defects on the surface of the bark. This parasite does not affect apples, localizing exclusively on the trunk. The tinder fungus must be cut at the root, after which the site of infection must be treated with copper sulfate and oil paint.
For the purpose of prevention, it is recommended to periodically process the tree with compounds against fruit sapwood, silkworms, apple moth, hawthorn and miner moth.
Distribution regions
The Rossoshskoye apple tree grows on the territory of the Central Black Earth regions. The homeland of the variety is the Rostov region.
However, the apple tree can be planted in other regions with sufficient sunlight.With sufficient care and regular feeding, the tree can grow in harsher climates.
