Breeding history
The variety was obtained at the experimental gardening station in the city of Sverdlov, LA Kotov and P.A. Dibrov as a result of crossing Peach variety (to which he owes his name) with Kungur pineapple. He entered the state tests in 1990, and since then has been widely distributed in both industrial and amateur gardening in many regions of the country.
Natural growth region
Due to its frost and drought tolerance, Persian is most common in the Ural region and the Ural region., but may well take root in other regions. True, in a humid climate, its trees are often susceptible to scab, which, however, does not affect the large-fruited, yield and other excellent qualities of the variety.
In these regions, the Ural resident, Northenian and Nastya feel great.
Yield
The fruits ripen by mid-September, almost immediately ready to eat. The average shelf life is about 180 days.. The yield of the variety is about 100 kg from one tree without periodicity. With all the rules of planting and proper care, the Persian woman begins to bear fruit already 6-7 years after budding.
Excellent yields are demonstrated by the following varieties: Scarlet Early, Bogatyr and Aport.
Planting and care
Persian woman refers to unpretentious apple and can tolerate even the most difficult conditions.
Some places that are unfavorable for trees are the foot of the hills, lowlands and floodplains of rivers, as well as areas with a close location of groundwater.
It can be planted both in winter and in autumn, but in the latter case it is very important to plant a tree just before frost, in order to prevent damage to a prematurely grown seedling by low temperatures.
There are no special requirements for the ground, but it is undesirable to plant Persian in acid soil (it must first be quenched with lime). The growing season lasts about 179 days.after which the shoots grow annually by about 41-57 cm, depending on the climatic conditions of the region. In the second year after planting, the seedling must be fed with potash, phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers.
Due to the high water-holding capacity of the leaves (about 56%), it is necessary to water abundantly only during the driest periods, and the water flows not under the trunk, but into a small ditch dug around.
The unpretentiousness is also distinguished by the Summer Striped, Kuibyshev and Aelita varieties.
Even the most winter-resistant apple varieties can be damaged if the soil is frozen too deep.
Before the onset of frost, the hole around the tree should be filled with a thick layer of peat and humus, and from above it can be covered with leaves and snow. Fruits are formed mainly on kolchatka, on last year's growth, therefore, given the sparse crown, forming trimming should be done very carefully.
Another characteristic feature of the tree is that its branches grow at an acute angle and can break off under the weight of snow or a large crop, therefore sometimes require additional backup.
Diseases and pests
One of the disadvantages of the variety is its low instability to //selo.guru/ptitsa/bolezni-p/gribkovye/parsha.htmlthat is, in a humid climate, trees should be planted so that they are well lit by the sun and blown by the wind, and in the fall carefully collect all the fallen leaves.
For the prevention of the disease during the blooming of the apple is recommended to spray antifungal drugs (for example, "Agatom"), which can also be used in the fight against scab in the initial stages of its manifestation.
In general, the few shortcomings of Persian women are more than paid off by its advantages, including winter hardiness, yield, large-fruited and excellent taste. Thanks to them, Persian has been called one of the most valuable varieties of late-ripening apples.
