Characteristics and features of growing the Richard apple tree

Apples are the most common fruit in our country.
In Russia, a special love for apples is due to the ability to easily grow a large harvest of ripe fruits, as well as preserve them for a long time. Apple fruits are not only consumed fresh, but also serve as raw materials in cooking in the preparation of a variety of dishes and fortified drinks. Apples contain all the beneficial substances that have a beneficial effect on the human body, regardless of age.

Features of the variety

The Richard apple tree is grown quite rarely by domestic amateur gardeners. A description of this variety is not easy to find. According to some reports, the variety appeared by chance and was found two centuries ago in the territory of Kerkhow near Wittenburg in Germany. Judging by other historical sources, the variety did not have a random origin, but was bred in Kerkhove through the efforts of Pastor Kliphot.

In Russia, seedlings of this variety are known as “Richard Yellow”. The variety of apple trees "Richard" is a favorite among gardeners in East Prussia. In addition, this particular variety is common for cultivation on an industrial scale in Germany.

The advantages of the variety are represented by good taste, long shelf life of fruits, and high resistance to diseases.

Description of the variety

Fruit trees of this variety have moderate growth vigor and frost resistance. The crown on the tree is translucent, high and spherical. Fruit plantings of the "Richard" variety are quite demanding in terms of cultivation conditions. The plant needs heavy, slightly damp soil and moist air. In addition, the place where seedlings are planted should be protected as much as possible from gusts of wind. Cultivation of the variety using light and dry soil is allowed only if there is an artificial irrigation system.

The trees begin to bear fruit quite late and produce a moderate harvest. The flowering period is medium early, quite long. The apples are graceful, symmetrically built, and of medium size. Quite often there are large-sized fruits with slight ribbing, which is formed on one edge. The shape can be defined as truncated conical. The fruits are characterized by single-caliber.

Apples on trees do not hold very firmly, which is especially noticeable in the autumn. As the botanical stage of ripeness approaches, the fruits easily fall off at the slightest gust of wind. The stalks are thick and short, not protruding beyond the deep funnel. The skin of the fruit is slightly aromatic, smooth, very thin and has a pale yellow color. On sunny days, the fruits may acquire a slight blush. The seed material is quite small.

In unfavorable weather conditions, significant damage to plants by scab is observed.

Rules for planting and care

Growing an apple tree of this variety requires experience in gardening. It is very important to correctly determine the landing site. The plant is very demanding of soil and may die in dry summers or in conditions of depleted soil.

Features and rules of landing

There are several requirements that relate to planting crops. There are few of them, and they are very simple, but they require execution.

Favorable conditions

In order for the Richard apple tree to develop normally, it needs to provide certain conditions on the site:

The place should be sunny and protected from strong winds.
The soil must be fertile and non-acidic.
The distance to groundwater is at least 1.5 meters and drainage is required.
Between the trees on the site there is a distance of 7 meters to the next one. But if there are fruit bushes nearby, then this figure can be reduced to 5 meters.

If these conditions are met, the apple tree will feel comfortable.

Planting steps and instructions

Planting is carried out according to an algorithm familiar to gardeners. Prepared and fertilized loose soil should be as moist as possible. In a pre-prepared hole you need:

install drainage;
make a mound of nutrient soil;
install a peg that will serve as a support;
place the seedling, straightening the roots;
sprinkle with soil and water;
mulch the tree trunk circle.

When planting, you need to make sure that the neck of the root is not buried in the ground. In a few weeks the soil will settle and more will need to be added.

Productivity of the variety

Richard apples ripen quite smoothly. The harvest period is set for the first half of September. Due to the fact that the fruits easily end up under the tree from any breeze, it is recommended not to delay the period of fruit harvesting.

In regions located in the southern regions of Russia, it is advisable to begin harvesting activities in mid-August. To be on the safe side, you can look at the shades of the apple peel. If it has lightened and slightly yellowed, this is a good signal to start picking apples.

The crop is placed in the optimal storage location. If the rules for providing the necessary conditions for the fruit are strictly followed, the fruits can easily be preserved until November.

Features of care

Caring for the variety includes standard procedures, starting with spring spraying, including fertilizers, pruning and removal of debris in the tree trunk circle.

Watering

In conditions of a fairly warm summer with normal precipitation, the fruit crop will need to be watered 3-4 times per season. It is better to make a small groove in the tree trunk circle so that moisture is not wasted. The first time watering is carried out during the flowering period, then after the ovaries and in the fall, before frost. An adult apple tree needs about 5 buckets of water, and a young apple tree needs 3 buckets.

Pruning and crown formation

Two procedures - sanitary pruning and crown formation can and should be combined. Pruning is carried out from the first year of life. First, they make a frame, forming skeletal shoots. After this, it will be necessary to remove only weak, damaged and inward-growing branches.

Fertilizer

Feeding is carried out several times during the season. Most often, fertilizers are applied at the root, diluted with water. In the spring, the procedure is carried out twice. The first time is immediately after the apple tree wakes up. You will need a solution of organic matter, mullein or urea. The second time is when the fruits are formed. Potassium and phosphorus are used for this. These fertilizing can be carried out on the leaf or in the ground. In the fall, organic matter is added to the tree trunk to feed the apple tree.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of the variety include:

Good frost resistance. The tree tolerates winters with low temperatures well;
Easily tolerates night temperature changes;
Has a good level of disease resistance;
Recovers quickly after defeat or damage.

The variety does not have a very long fruit storage period. This can be attributed to the disadvantages of this variety.

Another disadvantage is that the tree is highly susceptible to damage from spring sun rays.

Mature tree height

The tree has a medium-sized crown and not very long branches. The height of an adult tree is about 4.5 - 5 meters.

With such a tree height, it is not very easy to care for an apple tree. Therefore, with proper pruning and shaping, a compact tree can be formed.

You can achieve a tree height of 3.5 to 4 meters. This height of the tree will significantly reduce labor costs and make harvesting easier.

Frequency of fruiting

After entering the fruiting period, the apple tree produces a harvest every year . Usually this period begins from the fifth to sixth years.

Annual growth

During the year, shoot growth for a medium-sized tree ranges from 55 to 60 centimeters. If this indicator is below the specified limit, then the apple tree was most likely damaged by pests or diseases.

Also, this situation may be associated with poor overwintering and frost damage. Since after this the tree needs to spend energy and nutrients on tissue restoration.

Sometimes the growth can be higher than 60 centimeters . This may be due to improper feeding. An excess of nitrogen fertilizers gives a significant increase in green mass. But if the shoots do not have time to ripen before the arrival of severe frosts, the shoots may freeze. So here it is necessary to follow the norm.

Annual shoot growth.

Productivity

Has average performance. Among the varieties of its group, it ranks first in terms of yield in the lists.
