What kind of fruit trees to plant on the plot?

Winter apple trees
The latest varieties ofapple fruit treesthat I want to recommend today are: 'Złota Reneta' and 'Szara Reneta'. They are reliable classics among winter apple trees, known to gardeners for a long time. The fruits of both varieties can be harvested at the end of September and are suitable for storage.
'Golden Reneta', also known as Queen Renet, produces medium-sized fruit with a slightly sour taste. They can be eaten fresh or used for preserves. This variety is not very resistant to frost, but it is not susceptible to diseases. It is worth planting the 'Golden Reneta' if you have good, fertile soil on the plot.
'Szara Reneta' produces juicy, sour fruit, recommended mainly for drying, for apple pie, for cakes, salads and salads. They can be stored even until February. The tree starts fruiting very early and it usually yields abundantly every other year.However, it is resistant to frost and not very susceptible to diseases of fruit trees.
Of course, these are only examples of apple tree varieties suitable for amateur cultivation on plots and home gardens. I have tried to draw attention here mainly to reliable, easy-to-care varieties that are not afraid of frost and disease. The choice of apple varieties available on the market is very large and among thesefruit treesevery plot owner will find something for themselves.

Fruit trees - cherry

Cherries

Cherries are also characterized by high frost resistance. Thesefruit treesproduce perfect fruit for preserves - compotes, preserves, jam, juices.

Among the varietiescherry fruit treesrecommended for growing in plots, it is worth mentioning 'North Star' and 'Pandy 103'. 'North Star' is a medium-fruited, lively red variety with sour flesh. The fruit is suitable for direct consumption. They ripen in early July. The desirable features of this variety in amateur cultivation are early fruiting, abundant and annual yielding, as well as low sensitivity to fine leaf spot in stone trees. A little later, around mid-July, 'Pandy 103' bears fruit. The fruits are large (6 to 7 g) and can be used as a dessert. This variety produces moderately abundantly. However, it is resistant to frost, not very sensitive to moniliosis and bacterial cancer. However, you have to take into account the possibility of a slight spot.

Fruit trees - pear trees

Pear trees

Pear trees arefruit treesslightly less frost-resistant than apple trees and cherries.On the other hand, they are less affected by diseases than apple trees. Pear trees are also valued for the taste of their fruit, which is suitable both for direct consumption and for preserves. Most often they are grafted on Caucasian pear seedlings or on rootstock types of quince. The Caucasian pear seedlings have a stronger growth, so they should be grafted on varieties with slower growth and early fruiting. Quince rootstocks, on the other hand, are perfect for varieties that grow stronger and start fruiting later.
The most popular variety is certainly 'Konferencja'. It has medium-sized fruit, juicy and very tasty. Perfect to eat fresh and for preserves. This variety starts bearing fruit early and is very fertile. Rarely causes problems in cultivation, it is sufficiently resistant to frost and not very susceptible to diseases.
The 'Favorite' ('Klaps') also deserves a distinction. It produces large, greenish-yellow and also very tasty fruits, reaching harvest maturity in mid-August.We can eat them immediately after picking or use them for compotes and drying. Spanking yields profusely but often alternates. They are moderately susceptible to frost and quite susceptible to scab (before planting this variety, it is worth finding out if this disease does not cause problems to your neighbors.
The 'Faworytka' mutant 'Red Faworytka' is also interesting. They are trees with similar growth strength. Their fruits, however, are different - they are entirely covered with an intense dark red blush and a distinct purple coating.

Fruit trees - plums

Plum trees are no less popular than the species described aboveof fruit trees . They do not have excessive thermal requirements. They are grafted on seedlings of Wangenheim or Hungarian Ałycz. They grow weaker in Węgierki and start fruiting earlier. However, they need to be provided with slightly better soil than for plums grown on alech.

When choosing plum varieties for your plot, pay attention to the tolerance to a common disease - sharka, as well as to self-fertility (then you will not need plant pollinators).

Among the early varieties, ripening at the end of July, it is worth choosing the 'Herman' variety (it yields abundantly and annually, the flesh is juicy and easily detaches from the stone).
For harvesting in In August, 'Węgierka Dąbrowicka' (juicy fruit with flesh that easily detaches from the stone, suitable for direct consumption, for cakes and preserves) and 'Cancaska Lepotica' (yields regularly and abundantly, self-fertile and not very sensitive to sash, tasty fruit, sour and sweet, the flesh comes off the stone well)For the harvest in September, the well-liked 'Hungarian Plain' is suitable. It is self-fertile, it produces profusely and regularly. However, we must remember that this variety is unfortunately susceptible to sharka. Therefore, it is better to choose the less sensitive types: 'Promis', 'Tolar', 'Nectavit'.

Cherries

Cherries are eagerly grown for their tasty, dessert fruit. Thesefruit treesare suitable for cultivation only in warmer regions of the country.

When selecting cherry varieties for the plot, pay attention to resistance to frost and spring frosts .

For home orchards you can choose trees grafted on bird cherry seedlings or vegetatively multiplied maple of this rootstock - F12 / 1 cherry. For allotment gardens it is better to choosecherry fruit treeson weaker rootstocks, such as PHL A and PHL C.
An interesting variety of cherries, useful for amateur cultivation, is 'Burlat', giving dark red, juicy fruit, ripening in the first half of June. The trees grow vigorously, they start bearing fruit early (sometimes already in the third year after planting!). It is a very abundant variety, resistant to frost and not very susceptible to bacterial cancer.
Of the July cherries, 'Buttner's Red' is worth recommending. The trees of this variety grow strongly, start bearing fruit early, are very fertile, resistant to frost and not very susceptible to diseases. The fruits for harvest ripen at the beginning of July, but in good weather the harvest can be delayed a little.We will be able to harvest even later if we plant the 'Regina' variety.The fruits of this variety ripen around mid-July and rarely break. The trees start fruiting early and are very fertile, resistant to frost and not very sensitive to scab. Since it is a late variety, it is important to protect it against starlings.

Fruit trees - cherry

Apricots

Another eagerly grownfruit treesare apricots. They produce tasty and exceptionally he althy fruit. Unfortunately, their flower buds are very sensitive to spring and autumn frosts. On the other hand, apricot trees are more resistant to frost than peaches and cherries. The trees also look decorative due to large, shapely leaves. They are propagated mainly on the seedlings of Alycha.For cultivation in plots, we recommend the cultivars 'Early Orange', 'Harcot' and 'Somo'. The latter is particularly valuable because it is fertile, flowers are not sensitive to frosts and does not require pollinators (it is self-fertile).

Peaches

These arefruit treesmore and more willingly planted in plots, but due to high thermal requirements they can be planted only in the warmest regions of the country. Another problem in their cultivation is the frequent curl of the leaves, which makes it necessary to use spraying against this disease. The best rootstocks for peaches are Manchurian peach seedlings, Rakoniewicka and Siberian C.

Recently, the flat-fruited peach 'Saturn' has been enjoying a lot of interest, giving fruits of a very original, flattened shape, sometimes called UFOs.All the varieties of fruit trees described in the article can be ordered in the shop recommended by our guide
