The 'Ivanskoe' apple variety is a winter variety developed through the crossbreeding of the 'Welsh' and 'Prima' varieties. The trees are of medium size, fast-growing, with rounded canopies of medium density. Fruiting begins 4-5 years after planting and occurs regularly, ensuring a stable yield. Harvestable maturity is reached in mid-to-late September, with the consumption period lasting until the end of January, provided storage in a refrigeration chamber.
The fruits of the 'Ivanskoe' variety are characterized by high marketability and an attractive appearance. They have a rounded-conical shape with a slight slanted profile, a smooth and dry skin with a greenish tint that turns purple at harvestable maturity and becomes raspberry-red at consumption maturity. The average fruit weight is about 160-170 grams. The flesh is creamy, fine-grained, firm, juicy, and crisp, with a sweet-sour taste and good aroma, making the apples especially valuable for dessert use.
The variety has high resistance to scab, which significantly eases tree care and reduces the need for treatments. The chemical composition of the fruits includes sugar content of about 11.8%, dry matter of 13.8%, titratable acids of 0.85%, and ascorbic acid of 19.5 mg per 100 grams. These indicators provide not only a pleasant taste but also good nutritional value. 'Ivanskoe' is suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions and is an excellent choice for gardeners who value the combination of high yield, disease resistance, and superior taste qualities.
