Description
Summary:Analytical and synthetic apple-tree breeding in the Urals and Siberia resulted in the development of a number of ornamental apple-tree forms with various architectural crowns. They are adapted for cultivation in Russian landscapes with severe climate, including – and it is very important – the environments of the Urals and Siberia. The following apple-tree variety accessions have a sphere-shaped crown: ‘Bespridannitsa’, «Zelenaya Prostertaya» and «Sharovidnaya» with green leaves, and ‘Avrora’, ‘Vesna’, ‘Karmen’ and «Malinovka Dekorativnaya» whose leaves, flowers and fruits have anthocyanin coloring of different intensity; an umbel-shaped crown: Malus baccata f. pendula ‘Plakuchaya’, «Volna» and «Zontichnaya Krupnoplodnaya» with green leaves, and ‘Alaya Plakuchaya’, ‘Gazonnaya’ and «Zvezda» with anthocyanin coloring of the tree’s vegetative parts; and a weeping crown: «Kaskad» and «Yaroslavna», non-flowering forms, but with anthocyanin-colored leaves.
