MARGO

The winter apple variety Margo is a tree of restrained growth with a rounded, medium-density crown. This variety was created by crossing Golden Delicious tetraploid and variety 2034, which provided it with high resistance to scab due to the presence of the Vf gene, as well as immunity to powdery mildew. Margo is characterized by early fruiting, bearing fruit already by the 2nd-3rd year after planting, and regularly yields a harvest that grows rapidly. The tree also possesses cold and drought resistance, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions.

Margo apples are large, weighing about 210-234 grams, elongated and regular in shape with a smooth surface. Their color during harvest and consumer maturity is greenish-yellow with numerous gray subcutaneous dots. The flesh is cream-colored, medium density, fine-grained, juicy, and has a pronounced sour-sweet dessert taste with a pleasant aroma. Apples store and transport well, which allows them to be used both for fresh consumption and dietary nutrition.

The Margo variety is distinguished by high yield, reaching 28–37 tons per hectare, and fruiting stability. Thanks to its qualities, such as immunity to major diseases, cold and drought resistance, as well as the attractive appearance and taste characteristics of the fruits, this apple tree is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking to obtain a high-quality and reliable harvest.
