Verbnoe apple-tree - my reviews and photos
GRADE APPLES “MERRID” - REVIEWS, PLANTING AND CARE
Verbnoe received an apple tree as a gift from an aunt. 12 years have passed, and this variety is one of the most beloved in our family.
The first apples appeared already in the 4th year after planting - huge (up to 250 g), light green in color, with a ruddy red barrel and juicy sweet and sour flesh. The tree itself is low, round, sprawling.
The first time was cut off in the 2nd year after planting (in March): for the growth of the side branches, vertical branches were removed, leaving only the shoot from the upper skeletal branch (conductor length about 0,5 m), and a third of the length of last year’s growth was cut off.
Aunt taught me to determine whether the shoots were trimmed correctly: if the lateral branches were pulled to the trunk, their ends should be at the same height, and the vertical shoots were 20-30 cm higher than the lateral ones. She also strongly advised to thin out the fruits and ovaries when the apple tree began to bear fruit.
Regular top dressing is important for good yields: in April, under digging, we add up to 5 kg of humus to the soil or pour over a mullein solution (1:10) with the addition of urea (0,5 kg per 10 l). During flowering, we prepare such a mixture: 100 g of super phosphate and 70 g of potassium sulfate per 10 l of water. When the fruits begin to pour, we fertilize the apple tree with a simple composition: we dissolve 1 kg of nitrophoska granules and 30 g of dry sodium humate in 30-40 liters of water and water the tree in the radius of the crown.
And after harvesting and in October we introduce the Hera Autumnal complex mineral fertilizer - it improves the absorption and retention of moisture by the plant, replenishes all the elements necessary at the end of the growing season, promotes better ripening of shoots and overwintering.
