Apricot

Apricots are thermophilic, therefore, in Russia, only gardeners in regions with a warm subtropical climate have the opportunity to cultivate any of their varieties. Fruits of an elegant bright orange color are not only tasty, but also extremely useful for health, respectively, this tree is often found in personal plots. The choice of a variety must be approached with all responsibility, taking into account both the positive and negative aspects. Apricot Krasnoshekiy has been known to Russians for more than seventy years, but it is still popular, despite the ongoing competition from new breeding products. Its advantages (appearance and taste of fruits, relative unpretentiousness in care, yield) outweigh the disadvantages (tendency to defeat by some diseases, frost resistance insufficient for most regions).

Thanks to the efforts of breeders, a thermophilic crop - apricot, can now be successfully grown even in the northern regions. The new variety under the sonorous name Saratov Ruby is distinguished by its rare resistance to subzero temperatures. Due to this quality, as well as resistance to diseases and annual fruiting, the variety becomes a promising crop for commercial cultivation.

During its long history, the Triumph Severny apricot deserves many words of gratitude. After all, this variety can be found in cold regions, where it grows and bears fruit, unlike other thermophilic apricot varieties. The Northern Triumph is not afraid of frosts below 30 ° C, it has excellent immunity and it brings harvest even in the absence of pollinators.
