The apple tree in our gardens is considered the most popular fruit crop. It is ahead of the distribution of cherries and pears, and its fruits are stored much longer than other trees in the garden, so the gardener begins to take care of the apple in the spring first of all. Apple trees, especially if they are still young, suffer from both winter frosts and hungry rodents, and their branches sometimes bend to the ground or even break under the weight of sleet. Therefore, she needs a lot of attention to herself. We will describe 10 steps of mandatory spring apple tree care in this article.

What kind of care does an apple tree need in spring?
In general, spring care for an apple tree is no different from caring for other trees. However, each operation on the list of activities for the care of this crop at the very beginning of the season is very important. Ultimately, their implementation is able to increase the immunity of the plant, enhance its ability to withstand a whole range of diseases and pests and give an excellent harvest of apples, which, if carefully harvested, can lie for quite a long time and please with a fresh taste even in winter.
If we talk about the general stages of spring care for an apple tree, then this, of course, is sanitary pruning, whitewashing of the trunk and skeletal branches, watering, if necessary, eliminating various damages left over from the winter period, fertilizing, preventive treatments against pests and diseases, the fight against the first spring pests and diseases, as well as the protection of buds and blossoming flowers from spring return frosts. Let's consider each item from this list in detail.
Apple tree care: young and old
The main task when caring for a young apple orchard is, first of all, seedlings care apple trees and ensuring their high survival rate, forming crowns and preparing trees for long and abundant fruiting with the help dressing and chemical protection.
For more information on how to care for apple seedlings in the first year, read here.
You can also watch a video where Oktyabrina Ganichkina talks about caring for young apple trees:
How to care for an old apple tree? When caring for a fruiting apple orchard, the main concerns are good growth of young shoots, the regularity of the harvest combined with the high quality of the harvested fruit. Wherein trees are provided with water, top dressing.
Caring for the trunk of an old apple tree includes the appropriate pruning and processing from harmful insects, mold and rot.
Important! The principles of care are the creation and maintenance of a system that promotes the health and fruiting of apple trees.
Sanitary pruning of apple trees
Sanitary pruning of apple trees should be carried out as early as possible, it is highly desirable to complete it before the start of sap flow. All cuts must be made "on the ring", that is, without leaving a hemp, which can turn into a hollow over time; use only sharp tools for pruning that do not tear up the bark.
To understand what to cut, you need to carefully examine the crown of the apple tree - the first step is to remove all dry shoots, broken, too thin and those that grow directly in the middle of the crown (in the future they will certainly lead to its thickening, the transition of the crop to the periphery of the crown and its decrease).
When carrying out sanitary pruning of apple trees, pay attention to tops - these are strictly vertically growing shoots that are formed, most often in trees over five years old, they do not bear fruit, but only draw off nutrients. It is better to remove the tops by cutting them into a ring, or select a couple from the total mass and try to bend them at an angle close to 900 and so fix them. Over time, this position of the shoot will persist, it will be possible to untie it, and it will begin to bear fruit.
When sanitary pruning of apple trees, pay attention to the shoots that move too sharply from the trunk - at angles less than 450. Such, most likely, will simply break under the load from the harvest. You can already put supports under them by making ordinary spears with an elastic band in the center, for example, from a bicycle camera, or tie these shoots to higher ones, thus giving them strength to break, or simply cut out if there are a lot of such shoots.
Try to prune the apple tree when a stable temperature is established, its sharp fluctuations will stop, and if there are frosts during this period, then the temperature should not be lower than ten degrees.
When pruning this or that branch, try to have a part of the shoot after pruning at the end of the bud, directed upward and outward of the crown, so you will avoid thickening of the crown in the future.

Fertilizers and feeding
The most important thing that an apple tree requires is care and feeding. To improve the conditions for root and leaf nutrition, increase or stabilize the fruiting of apple trees, enhance their resistance to frost and drought, use:
- Organic fertilizers;
- Mineral fertilizers;
- Microbiological fertilizers;
- Top dressing with a complex of microelements.
The apple orchard needs regular feeding.
You can find more information about fertilizers for apple trees here.
Removal of weeds in the near-trunk strip
Weeds appear quite quickly and grow actively, and if the apple tree is more than five years old, then, in fact, you can ignore them, but just carefully, trying not to damage the trunk, mow (preferably with a sickle). But young seedlings can suffer from weeds, for them weeds can become competitors for food and moisture.
In addition, pests and even various fungal diseases can sit on weeds for the time being. It is better to weed weeds in young apple trees by hand after rain or watering, trying to pull them out entirely, then the next time they will not appear soon.
Pruning and shaping the crown
Pruning is a complex of operations aimed at regulation of shoot growth, their subordination in relation to each other. Most often, with the help of trimming occurs crown formation the desired design and maintaining it over the years.
Pruning is an essential part of knowing how to care for an apple tree after planting and throughout its life.
All the information you need to know about pruning apple trees can be found here.
Mulching the trunk circle
Mulching is an important, necessary and simple step in caring for an apple tree in spring. The soil is usually mulched with humus; it is better not to use sawdust and especially sour peat in the spring.
With the help of mulching, you can solve a number of problems: increase plant nutrition; retain moisture by mulching the soil surface after watering; inhibit the growth of weeds by mulching the soil after they have been removed.
By virtue of all of the above, this simple trick cannot be ignored. With the help of mulch, if you cover it with a layer of 5-6 cm, you can even save the delicate root system of young plants from freezing, if suddenly the frosts decide to return.

Props
The installation of supports in the gardens of summer residents is an important point, which includes caring for the tree: an apple tree in very productive years may simply not withstand the load... And then one cannot avoid splits and breaks of the tree or its large branches.
There are external supports - these are those that stand under the tree, or "pokes", and internal... These are called chatals and are made from steel wire.
Read how to make props with your own hands here.
Spring feeding of apple trees
In spring, the best fertilizing for an apple tree is a complex fertilizer, for example, nitroammofosk. Since there is enough melt water in the soil, top dressing can be applied dry as soon as the snow has completely melted. First, you need to loosen the soil in the near-trunk strip, then pour it with a bucket of room temperature water from a watering can (for even wetting), then scatter the fertilizer evenly.
Under an apple tree more than five years old, a tablespoon of fertilizer with a hill is needed, and half a tablespoon is enough for a tree less than five years old. After applying this fertilizer, it is advisable to level the soil and mulch with humus (with a layer of a couple of centimeters).
You can also carry out foliar feeding, for which you dilute 10 g of nitroammophoska in a bucket of water, fill a knapsack sprayer and process the plant - this is the norm for a plant older than five years, for processing younger ones, the rate must be halved.
Branch broke
If the branch young and its loss will not violate the ratio of branches in the crown of the tree, then the branch cut into a "ring", the place is cleaned, leveled and painted over with paint. If the branch thick and its loss will affect the life and productivity of the apple tree, then its connect and the junction is fastened.
They try to attach thick branches to the trunk.

How to cover up the cut?
Any cut, wound or peeled bark should be be sure to cover up and the sooner the better. As the wound is weathered, the edges dry out, and various microbes and rot spores freely penetrate into the branch or trunk.
You need to process the saw cut as soon as possible.
The mixture for protection should be on the one hand biogenic, that is, non-toxic for the apple tree, but at the same time protect the wound from the sun, drying wind, sudden changes in temperature and not washed away by rain and snow. In addition, she must stick quickly both to a wet cut and to old dry bark and wood (var, oil paint, clay with additives, etc.).

Whitewashing the apple tree
Spring whitewashing of apple trees can be carried out both with lime and with white acrylic-based breathable garden paints.
Read more about the composition of solutions in the article "Spring whitewashing of fruit trees"
It will not be superfluous to remind once again about the advantages of spring whitewashing. It protects the trunk and skeletal branches from sudden changes in day and night temperatures, when the bark can not withstand and simply crack, fall off, and this does not bode well for the tree.
Whitewashing protects against rodents and a number of pests that do not attack whitewashed plants. This method can also cope with fungal diseases, especially if lime is used.
Remember that spring whitewashing can easily be washed away by rain, and you may need to repeat this process two or three times in the spring.
Carry out the whitewashing always starting not from the top, but from the bottom and move to the first skeletal branches, trying to "capture" them too.
For young trees, whitewashing with lime can be dangerous, cause burns to the bark, and if you could not get the acrylic-based white garden paint, then whitewash the young trees with ordinary chalk, dissolving it thicker, bringing the composition to a creamy state.
Cobwebs on the leaves
Very often, the appearance of snow-white or grayish cobwebs on apple branches and leaves is associated with activity pest insects in the caterpillar stage... These are apple sucker, and apple moth, and leaf-gnawing caterpillars, and even spider mites. Or it is the wintering cocoons of the hawthorn.
In any case, either folk decoctionsif the pest is small, or radical synthetic store insecticides with a large number of tracks.

Understanding apple varieties: winter, summer and autumn
Most likely, there is not a single summer cottage or garden in which an apple tree has not been planted. This tree is ideal for growing in temperate climates, and most importantly, it bears fruit of amazingly tasty fruit, which is one of the most popular and sought-after fruits in the kitchen. There is an unimaginable number of apple varieties, which is why it can be very difficult to limit your choice to a few or just one variety.
The best varieties of apples
When to whitewash apple trees?
Whitewashing is carried out at the end of winter and is used only in young orchards to reduce the risk of sunburn of the bark on the branches and trunks of apple trees.
The most commonly used solution is based on copper sulfate (17 grams per liter of liquid) and fluff lime. It is brought in enough to bring the mass to the state of a pancake dough.
When and how to whiten apple trees correctly, you can learn in more detail from this article.
Protecting the apple tree from pests and diseases
Usually, in the spring, a whole series of preventive treatments against diseases and pests is carried out. They start with treatments with copper-containing preparations, it can be a 2% Bordeaux liquid or a 3% solution of copper sulfate. Trees should be sprayed with a spray bottle or knapsack sprayer, trying to moisten all branches completely.
Further, more serious drugs are used. For example, "Horus" is used against scab and moniliosis on an apple tree, for protection against powdery mildew - "Skor" and similar approved drugs.
Against pests, such as the moth, when the years of individuals begin, you can treat the plants with the drug "Alatar", which also helps from the leafworm; "Ivanhoe" - will reliably protect against aphids, "Fitoverm" - will allow you to cope with ticks.
When treating apple trees against diseases and pests, strictly follow the instructions on the package.
In addition to chemicals, various biological preparations can be used, pheromone traps can be hung, trapping belts can be pasted - dry, adhesive, poisonous. The main thing is to often replace them with new ones or clean them.

The apple tree cracked, cracked
If the tree pull tight after splitting or cracking during the day from the moment of the incident, having collected all its parts together and fixing them, then it will quickly overgrow its "fracture" and will continue to bear fruit further.
More often used wire structures and bolting.
For more information on what to do if the barrel is cracked, read here.
What are the common features of autumn varieties?
Autumn varieties of apple trees have many similar characteristics, by which they can be distinguished from summer and winter varieties.
- Autumn apple flavor is a cross between winter and summer varieties. They mix the sweetness of summer varieties and the juiciness of winter ones, with a bite you can hear a characteristic crunch.
- All such varieties ripen from about early to mid-September.
- Collecting apples of autumn varieties is necessary before they themselves begin to fall from the tree. This will at least preserve their integrity. It is important after collecting the fruits to let them lie down for 15 days, and only after that they can be eaten.
- The shelf life of autumn apples is shorter than winter apples, but under proper conditions they will last until early January.
Watering
In the main apple growing areas, orchards need irrigation... In such areas, watering is carried out in the following ways:
- Along furrows;
- Sprinkling;
- They do drip irrigation.
The choice depends on the site, its soil and water source.
Attention! Watering is required to provide a sufficient amount of moisture, but without overflow.

Protecting apple flowers from spring return frosts
It is not uncommon for years when the return cold kills the flowers and leads to the fact that we do not get the harvest in the form of apples at all, no matter how much we care about the apple tree. It is difficult to help in any way, but you can try. The simplest and rather reliable option is to light smoky fires along the periphery of the site by a contract with the neighbors, if they do not mind, this can raise the air temperature in the garden by a couple of degrees and save the flowers from freezing. One drawback is that the weather must be calm and the fires must be maintained until the frost is gone.
Sometimes sprinkling helps, when all the trees are literally sprayed with tiny drops of water from a hose with a special nozzle. Water, falling on trees and flowers, freezes in the frost, giving its warmth to the plant.
We hope our article will help you in practice. And with the help of such simple measures in the spring, you can provide yourself with a decent harvest of apples both in summer and in autumn.
Useful Tips
- If the apples are affected by scab, and the leaves are healthy, then most likely the tree is missing molybdenum, top dressing next spring will get rid of specks on the fruits;
- For a larger number of apple ovaries during the flowering period, spray honey solution 1 to 9 will definitely attract bees;
- Sowing siderates important, it will enrich the soil with organic matter and increase the number of enemies of insect pests.

Flowering begins in the second half of May, and fruits ripening in September weigh 110-130 grams and are distinguished by excellent taste. The apple of the Bessemyanka Michurinskaya variety has a light yellow integumentary color and a blush of merging orange and red stripes throughout the skin of the fruit that retains its freshness until December. Apple trees winter well in the middle zone and are rarely affected by scab. The only drawback of the variety is the uneven ripening of crumbling apples.
Apple tree Anis Sverdlovsky
The apple variety Anis Sverdlovsky, which yields a harvest in late autumn, is the fruit of the work of the breeders of the Sverdlovsk Experimental Gardening Station, under the leadership of L.A. Kotova. The plant was grown thanks to the crossing of Melba and Anis purple, while the crown of the apple tree is closer in shape to an oval or a wide pyramid. The tree is medium-sized with a mixed type of fruiting. Although on the densely strewn branches of two-year-old ringlets, most of the pink flowers are formed, and then the ovary.
The regular round or oval fruits of the Anis Sverdlovsky apple tree have an average weight of 100 to 120 grams. Apples have dry, smooth, medium-thick skin with a light yellow integumentary color, which is sometimes almost invisible under a deep red blurred blush. On ripe fruits, a wax bloom of a bluish tint is clearly visible.
Apples have juicy fine-grained flesh of white or sometimes greenish tint. The taste of ripe fruits taken from the apple tree of Anis Sverdlovsky in early September is sweet and sour, deserving high expert assessments. However, this autumn variety cannot be called maturing. The maximum storage period is December. The tree gives the first ovary already in the fourth year after grafting, tolerates winter well and even after frost damage to individual shoots, it quickly recovers, but in rainy seasons it is often affected by scab.
Apple Cinnamon new
A well-known variety of late autumn ripening was developed on the basis of VNIIS im. I.V. Michurin, the famous breeder S.I. Isaev. The apple tree variety Cinnamon striped and variety Welsey were chosen as the starting material for hybridization.
The variety, which entered the State trials in 1950, was released 15 years later for cultivation in the Central and North-West regions of the country. In the non-chernozem zone of Russia, apple orchards, established from vigorous strong trees of this variety, are actively used today. The variety is high-yielding, has good scab resistance, and exhibits average winter hardiness in the center of Russia.
The crown of a young Cinnamon new apple tree has a shape close to pyramidal, but as it grows, it expands and becomes rounded. Most of the ovary is formed on annelids, and only a small part is formed on elongated flexible fruit rods. Apple trees begin to bear fruit relatively late, only at 6–7 years of age, while in mature trees the years of abundant harvests alternate with periods of dormancy.
The Cinnamon nova apple tree is characterized by large, dark green ovoid leaves with pointed elongated tips, noticeable pile and jagged edges. When the plant blooms in the second half of May, the tree is covered with large white-pink flowers, in the place of which fruits are subsequently formed, weighing from 20 to 180 grams. Rounded-conical or slightly flattened apples of this variety are covered with a thick, smooth skin of a greenish-yellow color with a speckled or blurred striped blush of a red-carmine shade.
The fruits of Cinnamon New are distinguished by the highest commercial qualities, they are juicy with a sour-sweet taste and are in no way inferior to most southern varieties. The apples, picked in early September, fully reveal their taste after 3 - 4 weeks, and in a cool room they can be stored until winter.
Recommendations
If black dots, the so-called scab, appear on the fruits of the apple tree, and the leaves, meanwhile, look very healthy, the apple tree is probably experiencing a deficiency of molybdenum.In this case, the tree is fed in the spring to help prevent scab.
In order for the harvest to be as large as possible, during the formation of flowers, the tree should be sprayed with a solution of honey mixed with water, prepared at a rate of one to nine. This is done in order to attract pollinating insects.
It is very useful to plant siderates. This is a useful plant that fills the earth with organic matter and helps to escape from insect pests.
Types of apple trees
Apple tree Autumn joy in terms of its indicators is in the third ten in the rating of autumn varieties. But many gardeners consider this assessment undeserved, and that it is much higher than many of its fellows, such as Medunitsa, Aelita and the Young Naturalist.
A tall tree is especially common. But dwarf or semi-dwarf species are quite rare. Only in warm regions are they cultivated in this way, and these are isolated cases.
There is another subspecies of the variety - Autumn joy of Altai. These are small red fruits on a short tree. The apple tree is resistant to scab, but does not tolerate low temperatures.
Watering the apple orchard
After the snow melts, the moisture reserve in the soil is sufficient for fruit trees. During the growing season, they should be watered, especially in warm and dry weather. Young trees are watered every five or seven days. Older trees have a well-deepened root system.
They are watered less often, but much more abundantly. So that the soil in the near-trunk circle is not covered with a crust, it is loosened and sprinkled with humus or peat. Having drawn up a plan for garden treatments and strictly adhering to it, you can achieve high yields. It is best not to start the trees, to carry out all agrochemical and agrotechnical techniques on time. Then all the work will be reduced only to care and preventive measures.
Apple tree Auxis
Thanks to the crossing of grafenstein red and Macintosh varieties, Lithuanian breeders have obtained the Auxis apple variety with a compact rounded crown of medium thickening and fruits of autumn ripening.
The flowering of trees of this autumn variety in the apple orchard begins towards the end of May, while the presence of other varieties of apple trees nearby is necessary for pollination of the flowers. As a result, medium-sized fruits are formed, whose weight ranges from 90 to 180 grams. Apples with an oily, smooth skin have an even flattened-rounded shape and a greenish-yellow color, at the stage of removable ripeness, on which a rich carmine or red blush, covering almost the entire surface of the fruit, stands out. Sweet and sour refreshing apples, ripening in mid-September, have dense yellow flesh, which, when stored, does not lose its structure until the end of winter.
The first fruiting of the Auxis apple tree more often occurs 4–5 years after planting. At the same time, the variety in the middle lane shows average winter hardiness and the same resistance to scab. In addition, fruits that are not harvested on time fall off.
Description and photo of an apple-tree variety Osennee Nizrosloe
Apples are juicy and sweet fruits that children and adults love to feast on. To date, many varieties have been bred. Some people prefer juicy and sweet fruits, others like fruits with sourness, but, of course, everyone can choose the type that suits his taste.
One of the most popular dwarf apples is the Autumn Low-growing variety.
What if the apple tree bent over?
In the case when, under the influence of strong winds, the apple tree bends in one direction, many people think that it is no longer possible to fix it. But this is not true. What to do to make the tree even again? You need to drive a stake into the ground from the side opposite to the one into which the apple tree bent, gently pull the tree up to it and tie it. You can also put a support on the side into which the apple tree arches.Of course, in one day the tree will not become even, this requires at least three years, after which it will already be possible to remove the support.
Tinning
This is a special type of care that is typical for columnar apple trees. It consists in sowing cereals or all sorts of spices around the trees (lemon balm, dill, which, by the way, can also protect from pests), and then periodically carefully mow them. Such a procedure is necessary for plants because their root system is very close to the surface. It is not pivotal, that is, it does not have a main root extending deep into the soil. Because of this, the roots can easily suffer from external influences on the soil above them. And due to tinning, this possibility is much reduced. In addition, mulching can be used for the same purpose.
Advantages and disadvantages of autumn apples
Many gardeners give preference to autumn varieties, because they have heard about their advantages:
- they perfectly retain their properties (for one to two months if stored in a fruit storage or from two to two and a half months if stored in a refrigerator);
- long fruiting (the period for different species varies from 3 weeks to one and a half months);
- some varieties have excellent taste even when picked unripe or overripe;

Next, you can see the photo of the Autumn Low-growing apple tree:
Site selection
For an apple tree of this variety, it is unacceptable to choose an area with darkening.... You need an open and sunny space.
Soil preparation
For an Autumn Low-growing seedling, it is necessary to choose fertile soil, but at the same time it should not be too acidic. So before planting, the soil can be deoxidized with dolomite flour or lime. You need to bring them in during digging.
Dig the planting holes a month before planting... Its depth should be 0-75 cm, width - 1 m. Fill it with fertile soil and rotted manure (20 liters per tree).Add superphosphate and ash (1 kg each). After filling the hole, a mound should form.
Landing technology
After all the preparatory activities have been completed, you can proceed to direct landing, observing the following action plan:
Further, a useful video on the topic "How to plant an apple tree seedling correctly?":
Irrigate according to weather conditions. If the apple tree has not yet entered into fruiting, then water it 3 times a day. One tree will take 50 liters of water. The last time to humidify is in August.... Apple trees that bear fruit should be watered 3-5 times a year - before flowering, during it and until the ovaries fall off. When a tree grows on sandy loam soil, it will require 40 liters of water.
Apply top dressing in the 2nd and 3rd year of life. To do this, use a liquid complex fertilizer. It takes 30-40 g for one tree. Use the mullein solution 2 times per season. To prepare it, take manure and water in the following ratio - 1:10. One tree takes 10 liters of solution.
Carry out tree pruning according to the following scheme:
Pruning seedlings
In spring, young seedlings need formative and sanitary pruning. Pruning is carried out before the leaves and flowers appear.
- If the seedling has only one branch with many buds, the seedling is shortened at a height of 1 m from the ground... In this case, several full-fledged buds should remain, from which lateral branches will form.
As a result of the initial pruning of the seedling, 4–5 strong shoots are formed by autumn. - If the seedling has branched shoots, they begin to form the crown... Shoots close to the ground (up to 0.5 m) are cut, and the branches above are shortened up to 3 kidneys, while counting is from the base of the branch. Shoots that have grown at an acute angle to the trunk are recommended to be removed completely, and weak and frost-damaged branches are also disposed of. The conductor is shortened taking into account the branches left, it must rise above them by 20 cm.
All lateral shoots not needed for the skeleton are cut off. - Sanitary pruning is also performed in autumn.removing broken branches. If the growth of the tree is weak, large branches are not removed, this can worsen the general condition of the tree.

Autumn striped
Streyfling lives with me and bears fruit right in the yard. He is many years old - the garden was planted by the state farm in the 60s of the last century. The appearance of the fruit, like that of other varieties, varies from year to year, probably depending on the weather of the season, but fully corresponds to the pictures and photos in the descriptions. (Vitaly, not my Streyfling in your photos). The apples have a classic slate taste that cannot be confused with another (like Antonovka). The taste probably depends on the SAT, as in hot seasons it is unusually sweet. It is sweet this season too, but after ripening. In cool seasons, apples are sweet and sour and are reluctant to eat.

Mequintosh
A classic autumn apple tree, a favorite of cultivars in almost every corner of our country, Mekintosh is a well-deserved Canadian cultivar. Mekintosh has several advantages:
- according to experts, it bears fruit up to 100 years of age;
- fruits are red-burgundy, round, the middle is light, juicy, sweet, with a candy flavor, weighs up to 200 g;
- highly winter-hardy;
- rarely suffers from fruit rot;
- transfers transportation without loss of quality properties;
- the height of the tree is 6–8 m.
The disadvantages include high sensitivity to scab and non-simultaneous ripening of fruits.
Fragrant Mekintosh apples are familiar not only to gardeners, they are a common variety that is often grown for sale.
For me personally, Macintosh is the standard of taste, despite its shortcomings (tendency to disease, short shelf life, etc.). And Lobo, Spartan, and Cortland, in my opinion, do not have that unique aroma of the original variety and have their own shortcomings. For example: Spartan lasts longer, but less juicy, harder rind and smaller at the slightest error in pruning. Cortland is inferior to Macintosh in yield. Lobo loses its taste during storage. And with all this, everyone's disease resistance is about the level of the Macintosh and, as for me, they do not reach Macintosh in taste. It resembles Macintosh Melba more than others, but it is a summer variety. I have no mantet in my collection, so I can't say anything about him.

Mekintosh or Macintosh - as everyone around them calls it - is wonderful in that you can eat its apples already in August - the dark green fruits with a burgundy bloom are juicy, hard, they get delicious juice (sweet, sugar can not be put), we make fruit salads, just enjoy the yummy. And in September - Macintosh goes differently: we pick scarlet apples with a whitish wax coating and collect them for filling in pies, for jam, we do drying - by this time the fruits are even sweeter and more fragrant. What will remain on the tree by October - in the basement on the steps, the carrion - home and neighbors - everyone is delighted.

Fall
Ural bulk
Variety experts will not argue that the taste of the Ural bulk liquid is mediocre, but the ability to yield crops even in a cool, damp summer is an important advantage of the cultivar.... The Ural liquor is not afraid of return frosts, and the taste of fruits with sourness is very useful for juices and the preparation of dried fruits.
