Gardeners reviews

- For several years now, the apple variety Marat Busurin has been growing on our site. I am glad that the plant is winter-hardy and rarely gets sick. Apple tree care is not burdensome. And the fruits are very tasty and juicy, which we eat fresh before the New Year holidays.
Olga, Leningrad region:
- We have been growing Marat Busurin apples at the dacha for 3 years, but have not yet gathered a full harvest. This is because in the first 2 years the flowers were not cut off. It turns out that to accelerate fruiting, they need to be removed.
Ilya, Volga region:
- The apple tree is above all praise. It bears fruit stably, despite the fact that we rarely visit our personal plot and do not take care of the plantings very carefully. But we harvest regularly at the end of each season. The fruits are pleasant to the taste, however, the skin is a little thick.
