In article there is a speech about a selection grade of an apple-tree Bozhur. It differs high stability to frosts and a drought.
BUZHOR In MOLDOVA, In UKRAINE AND ON KUBAN
The selection grade of the apple-tree which has been earlier received by crossing of a grade Wagner with widespread in Moldova Kalterer Bemer, is allocated with outstanding winter hardiness of plants, stability of buds and a flower to late spring frosts. According to the long-term data received in Steppe office of the Nikitsky botanical garden, at a grade Buzhor it is never noted frosty damages though in separate years air temperature fell in the winter to – 280S. Especially strongly the temperature decreased in April, 2005 – to – 5,20S. At this time the apple-tree had a promotion of inflorescences. And Buzhor transferred this test without damages …
Especially accurately endurance of this grade came to light in winter of 2006/07 when the January temperature in many regions of the former USSR fell to – 400S. In such severe constraints Buzhor well wintered and normally fructified in the north of the Kharkov area and in Krasnodar Krai (The North Caucasian scientific research institute of gardening and wine growing, Russia). Noted features potentially provide to a grade good stability of fructification.
Buzhor’s tree srednerosly with roundish krone. Branches depart under a big corner that is convenient for many formirovka. During a time of fructification enters for the 3rd year after landing a garden. Already at 6-year age its productivity exceeds 100 c/hectares. Parshy and mealy dew practically isn’t surprised. Drought resistance of plants the raised. Pollinators: Johnathan, Delishes.
Fruits large with average mass of 135 g. Form ploskookrugly, correct. Surface smooth. Fruit stem long, thin, direct. Thin skin dense, smooth, dry. The demountable maturity comes at the beginning of October. In a consumer maturity coloring becomes chartreuse, integumentary – dark and claret with an intensive wax raid on the most part of a fruit. Pulp light, very juicy. The tasting assessment makes 4,5 points at the content of sugars of 14,8 %, vitamin C – 12,5 mg/100 of. In usual storage conditions fruits remain till May, without losing the qualities.
For a complex of positive signs the grade is zoned in Moldova, successfully passed a production sortoispytaniye in collective farm agrofirm Friendship of the People (the Krasnogvardeysky region of the Crimea), and also on Kuban. It tells about good prospects of cultivation it in Ukraine.
According to demands the Steppe office of the Nikitsky botanical garden (A new garden of the Simferopol region of AR Crimea is engaged in its reproduction. 97513) Consultations can be received in department of the southern fruit crops (Yalta, NBS-NNTs\ph. 8 (0654) 335516).
