Good afternoon, my reader. In areas with a cold climate, it is not so easy to grow apple-garden. After all, not all varieties of apple trees can withstand strong frosts sometimes up to -40 degrees. An even greater test for trees is the offensive thaw, after which the cold suddenly come again. Therefore, breeders are constantly working on the removal of new winter-hardy apple trees.

This property of the plant is to withstand the negative impact of the environment in winter and early periods. Also here include the ability of plants to timely quenching, which gives him the opportunity to recover after frost damage. The sustainability of buds, flowers and tie to refine colds also plays an important role, which often happen in spring.It depends on the region in which you live. For example, for the northern regions of the European part of Russia, where frosts often have frosts above 40 degrees, but thaws occur extremely rarely, allay sails are suitable. It will endure almost any low temperatures, but when the frost is refunded, after the thaws, it will die immediately.
In the middle lane of the European part of Russia, the opposite is: here thawing among the winter are often coming, but frosts up to minus 40 are highly rare. Experienced gardeners advise in these areas to plant an apple tree varieties Golden Deliche and Renet Simirenko, who perfectly carry winter thaws and are restored well after the newly arrived cold. However, too low temperatures, above 40 degrees, the trees of these varieties can not withstand.

A person can affect the winter hardiness of the plants, correctly causing them. Here are a number of events that need to be held in the preparation of trees for winter:
- In the fall, bold trunks to avoid cracking from solar burns and temperature drops.
- At the time of making mineral fertilizers, so that the plant has enough nutrients.
- Provide a good watering in the fall, if the summer was arid.
- Organize snowstand near the tree that will help him survive the spring frost.
- If the apple tree has been infected with a pair or mildew, make a fungicide drug or to overheat the earth.
- Paging the tips of young shoots will improve the process of hardening.
- Make lime into acid substrates, sand and compost - in heavy soils. This will improve the structure of the soil and the state of the plants.
