Characteristics of the late summer apple tree variety Yubilyar

Description of the variety

The popular, beautiful Yubilyar apple variety is triploid. It was developed thanks to the efforts of specialists at the All-Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding, who sowed the seeds. The seedlings only began bearing fruit seven years after the new variety's development (in 1982). In 1990, the new apple variety was recognized as elite, and in 1995, it was submitted for state testing in the Central and Central Black Earth regions of Russia.

The Yubilyar tree is a medium-sized, self-sterile cultivar. It has a spherical, not very dense crown. Skeletal branches extend from the trunk at a 90-degree angle. The tree has medium-thick shoots covered in gray bark. The leaves have wavy edges, are a rich green, and are quite firm to the touch. This variety produces mixed fruit, most often on the ring-shaped branches.

The fruits can weigh on average about 135 grams. They are naturally round in shape and have a yellow-green skin. When fully ripe, the fruit develops a distinctive crimson blush on the surface. Inside each fruit is a dense, juicy, fine-grained pulp. According to gardeners, the apples have a sweet and sour taste. The fruit contains 10.5% sugar, approximately 0.96% acid, 453 mg of P-active substances per 100 grams, and approximately 17.6 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams.

Characteristics

Yubilyar apples are versatile, as they are eaten not only fresh but also used to make juices, compotes, kissels, preserves, marmalades, mousses, jellies, ciders, fruit wines, and dried fruits. In Oryol, the harvest of this beloved fruit can be from August 25 to September 5. This apple tree is not considered an early-bearing variety, as it does not bear fruit for the first time until seven years after planting. Fruiting is regular, and the yield is characterized as high.

According to statistics, from 1991 to 1994, approximately 182 centners of fruit per hectare were harvested from trees of this variety. In terms of winter hardiness, it is high when grown in the Oryol region. These apple trees have developed a strong immunity to such a dangerous disease as scab. The fruit has a relatively short shelf life – no more than one month. They should be stored in wooden boxes filled with sand, which are then placed in a cool room.

It is recommended to plant seedlings on loamy or sandy loam soil, which is fertile, moisture-retentive and well-aerated.
