apple tree Renet Kursk golden variety description

Characteristics

The apples look quite attractive. They have a smooth surface, irregular shape and unequal sides. Their hue is green-yellow and turns golden over time. Where sunlight hits the fruit, a nice light blush appears.

Advantages and disadvantages

There are a number of advantages for which gardeners and gardeners value this variety. Some of them are worth mentioning:

• long-term storage of fruits, until next summer under proper conditions;
• high resistance of apple trees to fungal diseases;
• high yield, large fruit size;
• the ability to transport apples over long distances without loss of taste and appearance.

To be fair, the downsides must also be taken into account. More precisely, there is one significant drawback: the tree bears fruit periodically, it needs a year of rest. During severe epidemics, powdery mildew may appear on the apple tree.

Dimensions of an adult tree

Without proper shaping, the tree grows up to 6.5 meters. But usually the crown is formed at a level of 4-5 meters. This height of the apple tree will be preferable and convenient for caring for it and collecting fruits.

Apple tree Golden Ranet.

Annual growth

The tree grows quite quickly. The annual growth should be about 60 centimeters. If this indicator is different, then this may be evidence of disease or pest exposure.

Frequency of fruiting

A distinctive feature of this variety is the frequency of fruiting. The tree needs rest for a year, during which it accumulates useful substances and strength. And also in the year of rest, the apple tree strengthens its immunity.

Productivity

The Golden Ranet variety is distinguished by its high yield. The average is 200 kg or more. However, do not forget that the apple tree reaches this indicator every year.

Tasting assessment

On a generally accepted scale out of 5 possible, the tasting rating of the variety is 4.2 points. But the fruits of the tree are very tasty and juicy.

Winter hardiness

This indicator is also what gardeners look for first. The winter hardiness of the apple tree is very high, even practically the highest among many species. The golden ranet does not freeze even in the harshest winters.

Disease resistance

The Golden Ranet is quite resistant to scab. But during epidemics it may suffer from powdery mildew. Regular spraying will be enough to protect the apple tree from various diseases.

Features and characteristics

• In general, the variety demonstrates a number of positive qualities, in particular:
• high productivity;
• large-fruited (each apple weighs about 250 g);
• good shelf life and transportability of the crop;
• average resistance to cold and common diseases (powdery mildew, scab).

The tree is self-fertile and begins to bloom in late spring. Around this period, the previous year's harvest may be preserved under favorable conditions. It is typical that over time, during storage, the acidity and astringency in the taste are lost - it is replaced by freshness.

If you follow agrotechnical growing rules, you can collect up to 200 kg of fruit from each apple tree.

However, a significant drawback of the variety is its frequency of fruiting. The dormant period can last for several seasons. This nuance should be taken into account by gardeners who cultivate apple trees for income.

• In addition, the weaknesses of the Golden Ranet are called:
• high sensitivity to drought;
• weak resistance to black cancer;
• poor heat resistance;
• the tree is tall (develops up to 7 m in height), which makes harvesting difficult.

Did you know? The largest European exporter of apples is Poland, and the world leader is China.

Analyzing the fruit and vegetable market, experts came to the conclusion that modern varieties of apples are more adapted to the needs of consumers, and the Golden Ranet, despite its high yield, is not used in horticulture. This explains the territorial narrowing of the cultivation of this variety.

Features of planting and care

The apple tree does not require any special technology for planting or care. All standard procedures that are necessary for other varieties are suitable for the unpretentious Golden Ranet.

Landing dates

The tree can be planted in the fall, but it is optimal to do it in the spring. This way it can strengthen before the cold weather begins. Planting should usually be done at the end of April or beginning of May, depending on climatic conditions. It is necessary to plant before the sap begins to flow.

Planting the Golden Ranet apple tree in autumn.

Scheme

If the apple tree is planted as a single tree, then it can be left a little room to grow, keeping a distance from other trees, 3.5 by 4.5 meters. But if several apple trees are planted in a row, then planting can be done more compactly, according to a 3.5 by 3 meter pattern.

Agricultural technology and cultivation

The Golden Ranet apple tree is grown in the same way as any other. Important agricultural practices include:

• regular and timely watering - 3-4 times per season;
• fertilization;
• crown care, which includes shaping;
• tree care to prevent pests and diseases.

Standard procedures will help maintain the health of the tree. However, their implementation is mandatory.

Pruning and crown formation

Sanitary pruning is a necessary procedure in which it is necessary to remove damaged, frozen or infected parts of the shoots.

Formative pruning is also carried out regularly. It is important to ensure that the crown is compact and the tree does not stretch out.

These two procedures can be combined, at the same time caring for the crown and adjusting the growth height of the tree. By performing them, you can achieve large, high-quality fruits on a healthy, beautiful tree.

Pollinator varieties

The Ranetka golden apple tree is self-fertile and can be pollinated by its own pollen. But if insects participate in this process, then the percentage of ovaries will be much higher, and accordingly there will be more fruits.

Sequence of care

Golden ranet, in addition to traditional procedures, requires constant stimulation of yield and crown formation. In this way, the gardener can make the harvesting process easier and increase the productivity of the tree.

Watering, loosening and fertilizing

The level of its yield and the quality of the fruit, as well as the longevity of the plant, depend on the condition of the soil under the apple tree, so it is important to weed and loosen the substrate as weeds appear. This manipulation will allow the crop to fully develop, rid it of competitors for nutrients in the soil and improve the aeration of the root system.

It is unacceptable for the Ranetka apple tree to end up in a swampy environment. Prolonged drought can also harm it, so when watering it is recommended to take into account weather conditions, the location of groundwater and the age of the apple tree. In general, young seedlings should be moistened at intervals of 2-3 weeks, pouring up to 2 buckets of settled water warmed to room temperature under each tree.

The first moisturizing procedure in the garden is relevant in the spring, before the leaf buds open. The second time, mature trees (which are more than 5 years old) are watered after they bloom, as well as during the period of fruit set. For two-year-old specimens, about 4 buckets of water are used, and for old apple trees it is recommended to pour up to 10 buckets.

The last watering is carried out after harvesting. After each moistening, it is necessary to destroy the hard earthen crust formed in the tree-trunk hole with a hoe. The damp soil is then mulched with sawdust, straw, grass clippings or peat.

Important! Coniferous material is not suitable as mulch for apple trees, since during the decomposition process it oxidizes the soil.

In the spring, at the beginning of the growing season, it is important to apply nitrogen-containing substances under the roots of the tree, which stimulate the growth of biomass. For this, gardeners most often use a solution of chicken manure prepared in a ratio of 1:50.

When greenfinches begin to form on the tree, you need to water it with a nutrient mixture of:

• nitroammofoski (30 g);
• ammonium nitrate (30 g);
• calcium chloride (45 g);
• superphosphate (150 g);
• water at room temperature (10 l).

To stimulate winter-hardy qualities, Golden Ranet can be fed with complex mineral fertilizers (make sure that the packaging is marked “Autumn”), or with a solution of superphosphate (50 g per 1 liter of water).

Before winter, organic matter and nitrogen should not be used. Otherwise, the tree will greatly grow young branches, which will die at the first frost. After the resulting stress, the apple tree may not survive the winter.

Crown formation and pruning

Due to its tall growth, the Golden Ranet requires annual pruning. With proper care, the height of the tree can be shortened to 4 m without harming its fruiting qualities. Every year in the spring, before active circulation of juice begins, it is important to remove all old, dry, frostbitten, broken and diseased branches from a mature apple tree. Regular sanitary pruning is one of the effective ways to protect a tree from the development of diseases.

Did you know? The area of ​​all apple orchards on the planet is about 5 million hectares.

If you monitor the growth of branches and correctly form the crown, you can prevent its thickening and increase productivity. To do this in the fall, when the leaves fall and the weather gets colder, you need to remove the shoots that grow inside the crown and create shade. One of the competing young shoots must also be removed. In young specimens, the lateral branches of the main trunk and the top are cut off at the level of 80 cm.

Pruning is carried out with sharp pruning shears. After the procedure, the cut sites must be treated with garden varnish. When removing large branches, it is appropriate to wrap the wounds with polyethylene, securing its edges with electrical tape.

Preparing plantings for winter

In areas with a mild climate, the Zolotoy Ranet variety can winter painlessly, without requiring additional preparation for cold weather. In regions with harsher winters, it would be a good idea to cover young (up to five years old) seedlings for the winter.

To this end, the gardener needs:

• mulch the tree trunk circles with a thick layer (up to 15 cm) of peat, retreating about 10 cm from the trunk;
• wrap the trunk and crown of the seedling with thick fabric;
• tie the trunk to a height of 50 cm with spruce branches.

This will help prevent attacks from hungry rodents.

Prevention of diseases and pests

During epidemics, apple trees can demonstrate high vulnerability to pathogens of scab and powdery mildew, therefore, for preventive purposes in early spring, disinfecting trees with a solution of copper sulfate (50 g per 1 liter of water) will not hurt.

As an alternative, you can use potent chemicals: “Hom”, “Skor”, “Fundazol”, “Albit”. These are fungicides that are effective in the fight against fungal diseases (scab, rust, powdery mildew, cytosporosis).

It is advisable to use them in dry, windless weather, preferably in the morning or evening. In case of attacks by harmful insects (aphids, leaf rollers, moths, mites), insecticides (Aktara, Actellik, Ampligo, Eggio, Match) will come to the aid of the gardener.

Features of ripening and fruiting

There are some fruiting features that you need to know before planting an apple tree of the Golden Ranet variety.

Beginning of fruiting

Typically, the variety begins to bear fruit in the fifth or sixth year after planting. But on dwarf rootstocks, an apple tree can bear fruit already in the third year.

Peculiarities

Apple picking takes place in early October. The fruits ripen together, almost at the same time.

Flowering time

The tree blooms in late May, but continues flowering until mid-June. Thus, flowering can be characterized as mid-early.

Fruit ripening

The fruits are harvested approximately at the end of September – beginning of October. But depending on climate conditions, it may start a little earlier or end in mid-October.

Apple storage

The shelf life of apples is a special advantage of this variety. They can retain their taste for six months and even a little longer. We can safely say that the fruits are stored until the next season.

Description

The Golden Ranet apple tree is one of the old Russian varieties .

Distributed in:

• Kursk region,

Causes of poor growth

Even this unpretentious variety can slow down in growth or stop altogether. There may be several reasons for this.

1. Incorrect landing. It is necessary to plant the seedling so that the root collar is not buried.
2. Manifestation of diseases. Infected planting material is often sold, so you should choose responsibly.
3. The appearance of pests. Harmful insects often appear on young apple trees. If they are not removed in a timely manner, the seedling will slow down and may even die.

That is why from the very beginning of planting it is necessary to follow all the rules of agricultural technology.

RENETTE GOLDEN PISGOUD (Incomparable Peasgood, Renet Peasgood, Peasgood's nonesuch, Peasgood's Sondergleichen, Reinette doreé de Peasgood, Sanspareille de peasgood)

Originator: Peasgood (Stamford, England). He developed this variety from the grain of Aporta Alexander. In 1872, the Royal Horticultural Society in London awarded the fruits of Renet golden Peasgood a first class certificate. In 1874 this new variety began to be distributed by the firm of W. and D. Brown; in the last decade it has become widespread in our home gardens, so it is not very rare in the Kyiv province.

The fruit is magnificent, large, and on dwarf rootstocks sometimes reaches enormous size and considerable weight; the shape of the fruit is spherical-truncated, somewhat tapering towards the toe; More or less significant warty formations often appear on its surface.

Fruiting occurs quite early; the yield is neither generous nor constant. The flowering period is early and long; the flowers are somewhat sensitive to frost and this, to some extent, is the reason for the low yield of the variety.

zoned: Russia - Krasnodar, Stavropol Territories, Rostov Region, Kalmykia.

RENET GOLDEN REDER (Reders Gold Reinette, Reinette Reders Gold)

Originator: Heinrich Raeder (Germany). He developed this variety from the grain of the Parmena golden winter fruit, sown in 1869, and the original rooted tree brought its first harvest in 1882. Reder's Golden Renet was first described by F. Lucas, who also gave a chromolithographic drawing of this fruit.

The fruit is beautiful, of good medium size or large, symmetrically built, obtuse spherical in shape. In the toe area, the surface is lumpy and weakly defined flat ribs originate there.

RENET FROM SYKE-HOUSE (Angolkorhaz renet, Culver Russet, Englische Spital-Reinette, gelbe Reinette, Kleine graue Reinette, Pome de Syke-House, Prager, Syke-House Russet, Pomme de anglais)

English variety. bred at the beginning of the 19th century; it bears the name of the village of Syke-House, in Yorkshire, in one of whose gardens it saw the light. Diehl was sure that this renet arose from a grain of Pepin English. With the light hand of this glorious pomologist, who, through a misunderstanding, mistook his own name Syke-House for Suck-house, which can perhaps be translated by the word “hospital” or “hospital”, the incorrect German name of the variety English Hospital Renet, by which this variety is known in Germany, and then the incorrect French Hospital Renet, and finally the Russian - Hospital Renet.

The fruit is medium in size. correctly, flat-spherical in shape, slightly flattened at the poles. The saucer is spacious, shallow, and rusty. The peduncle is thick, short, and at its base there is sometimes a small, fleshy outgrowth; it protrudes slightly beyond the boundaries of the deep and narrow funnel, lined with a layer of rust, but more often it completely hides in it.

The skin is slightly fragrant, rough and dry to the touch, thin, lemon-yellow, and on the sunny side of well-lit fruits sometimes a slight blush appears, and the entire field is occasionally dotted with brown gray dots. Often, a significant part of the surface of the skin, especially in unfavorable times, is more or less shrouded in a veil of delicate rust.

The pulp is yellowish-white, quite tender, juicy, wine-sweet, spicy, and has a very pleasant taste.

The tree is of moderate growth vigor, forms a flat-spherical crown, needs deep, fertile and dry soil. enters the fruiting season early. Very productive, but good-quality harvests are obtained only on trees growing in sufficiently fresh or properly irrigated soils.

RENET CALVILLEE-FORMED (Calvillartige Reinette, Gelbe spanische Reinette, Reinette calvillée, Reinette d'Espagne)

This is an ancient variety, which was cultivated already at the end of the 18th century; There is no reliable information about the time and place of its origin, although some believe that the homeland of Renet calviliiformes is Lorraine.

The fruit is beautiful. medium or large. more or less ribbed, sometimes truncated-conical, sometimes spherical-blunted in shape and somewhat pointed towards the toe. The saucer is spacious and deep, with ridges and folds. The stalk is thick, sometimes thin, not very long, but protrudes freely beyond the deep and spacious funnel lined with radially arranged rust.

The skin is dry, rather thin, golden-yellow, sometimes with a light orange-red cheek on the sunny side; the entire field is dotted with large gray-rusty dots in a white halo, and sometimes star-shaped rusty spots are visible here and there.

The pulp is yellowish-white, tender, juicy. sweet.

The tree is healthy, and although it develops vigorous growth from a young age, it does not grow large. It forms a spherical crown, is not particularly demanding on soil conditions, and is distinguished by early and rewarding yield.

RENET CANADIAN (Canada, Canada reinette, Canadian renet, Cerins de Pomma, Große Goldreinette, Harlemer Reinette, Osterreichische National Reinette, Kaiser-Reinette, Reinette incomparable, Reinette monstrueuse du Canada, Surpass Reinette d' Angleterre, Saint-Helene Russet, Weiber Reinette , Windsor-Reinette)

The homeland of Reneta canadensis has not been established; What is certain is that, despite its name, it is not of American origin. According to some, this variety originated in France, where it was cultivated already in 1771; according to others. it was bred in England. Thus . the question of the place of origin of this variety must be considered open.

The fruit is prominent, large, and sometimes even very large on dwarfs, but it is rarely symmetrically built. In shape it is sometimes highly built, sometimes flatter and sloping; The length is usually divided by wide ribs. Despite the significant volume and weight, the fruits adhere quite firmly to the tree; they are not damaged by scab, never crack, but very often suffer from the codling moth. The saucer is spacious and moderately deep. The stalk is thick, very short, and fits in a wide and deep funnel. the walls of which are lined with a layer of delicate rust. In Crimea, people everywhere complain that the codling moth there gives special, if you like, even preferential attention to the Canadian renet. There seems to be no other variety. which would be so often and to such an extent damaged by this scourge of apple orchards, just like Canada.

The skin is fragrant, somewhat hard and dry to the touch, dense, light or straw yellow, with a golden tint on the sunny side, on which a light blush sometimes lights up. The entire surface of the fruit is dotted with spots and characteristic star-shaped dots of a rusty color; sometimes the entire field is enveloped in a haze of brown rust, more or less of which is present. apparently determined by the properties of the soil. in which the tree grows. Thus, fruits from dry or gravelly soils have a much more rusty skin on their skin than when trees grow in damp soil.

The flesh is yellowish-white and turns brown very quickly when the fruit is cut open in air. Despite its rather dense consistency, it is still tender, juicy, and has an excellent wine taste.

The tree in its youth is characterized by vigorous and strong growth, and subsequently forms a characteristic large, not very branched, rather irregular, very wide, umbrella-shaped flat-spherical crown. It's very chilly. It enters the fruiting season late and is characterized by grateful and almost constant yield from year to year. in the appropriate climate - durable. F. Lucas gives examples of Canadian renet trees that were over a hundred years old.

Description of the tree and fruits

Young seedlings are characterized by a broom-like outline, but over the years their crown becomes more and more rounded. It consists of sparse thick branches that form distinct tiers. Annual shoots stretch up to 30–45 cm, they are distinguished by dark brown thin bark and a short internode.

The foliage is wide and long, lanceolate in shape, with a dark green glossy, slightly curved surface and a carved edge. It is attached to the branches with long powerful cuttings, densely covered with pile. In the 6-7th year of the growing season, the apple tree enters the fruiting phase. The ovary is formed on massive branched ringlets. Towards mid-autumn the fruits ripen.

They have:

• conical, slightly convex shape (often characterized by asymmetry);
• weak ribbing;
• smooth skin of light green or yellowish color with a blurred scarlet blush (during the ripening process, yellowness predominates in color);
• a deep crater, often crudely marked by rust;
• large closed or semi-open cup;
• a small narrow and folded saucer;
• a voluminous seed nest in which slightly open seed chambers are located;
• white pulp of medium density;
• rich aroma;
• slightly fresh taste (rated by tasters at 4.2 points);
• satisfactory juiciness.

In comparison with modern breeding varieties, Zolotoy Ranet apples are inferior in quality.
