The Urals Filling - an apple tree of universal purpose

Uralskaya bulk - apple, which is known since the 1940s. This variety was derived by Professor PA. Lark and more than half a century remains the most common in the Far East, the Southern Urals, northwestern Russia and Kazakhstan. In the 1970s, it could be found at almost every site. Characterized by high winter hardiness, the Ural bulk is a derivative of two varieties: Ranetki red and Papirovka.

Variety description

The Urals tanker is an apple tree, characterized by an average growth force and a dense crown of rounded-wilting form. Such external weeping is due to elastic thin branches, descending downwards under the weight of a large number of fruits. The leaves of the tree are light green, without pubescence, elongated form. Flowers are pink, medium.

The fruits are rounded, with indistinct ridge, on the long peduncle. The size is small enough: the weight of an apple from a young tree is 50-60 grams, from the old apple tree - 35-40 g. The skin is smooth, with small hypodermic dots. The main color of the apple is yellow, sometimes a slight glow is visible from one side. The taste is pleasant, closer to sweet, with some sourness. The Urals tanker is an apple - tree, planting and caring for which are not particularly complex and even novice can do. A ripe fruit is characterized by a juicy, tender flesh, which has an average density and a yellowish tinge. With abundant fruit bearing, the cascade of yellow fruits creates the effect of an apple waterfall completely hiding the leaves of the tree. The best pollinator of this variety is the Uralets apple.

Three collection periods

Uralskaya bulk - apple (the description is confirmed), pleasing ripe fruits in September. And yet, depending on the purpose of consumption, gardeners distinguish 3 periods of removal. In the first, when the pulp is firm and at the same time juicy, the collection of apples is directed to processing for compotes and juices.

Fruits, taken in the second period, are intended for fresh consumption, since they acquire the maximum taste characteristics. Shelf life of fresh apples is 1,5-2 months. A characteristic feature of the ripened fruit is their covering with an oily coating, because of which in windy weather they can become dirty because of the accumulation of small debris, dust and sand. All this is easily corrected by washing the apples with running water before use.

October collection of apples is intended for processing on jam, jam and jams. Fruits hold firmly on the tree, although they are already thoroughly overripe, and the flesh is loose.

Culture with high winter hardiness

The Urals tanker is an apple tree, the description of which distinguishes it early (on the 2nd year after vaccination) and regular (every year) fruiting, with increasing volumes. By the third year there may be faults in the branches due to abundant harvest. One apple tree is capable of producing 150-200 kg of fruit.

Uralskaya liquid - apple, reviews of gardeners about which highlight its high restorative capacity. For example, in the winter of 1978-1979. At -57 ° C there was a slight freezing of trees and their rapid recovery.
