SYMBOL

The 'Symbol' apple variety is a winter variety developed by crossing seedling 7-148 with the 'Brown-striped' variety. This variety is distinguished by high winter hardiness, withstanding temperatures down to -40°C, and low maintenance requirements, making it particularly suitable for growing in the Ural region. The tree is of medium height with a dense, wide-pyramidal crown and straight branches directed upwards. The bark on the trunk and main branches is smooth and brown, while shoots are of medium thickness and slightly pubescent. Leaves are of medium size, elliptical in shape with a bluish tint, and the flowers are pinkish-white and aromatic. The fruits of the 'Symbol' apple tree have an average weight of 80 to 120 grams, are flattened-round, with a dense, smooth skin of whitish color with a bright red or scarlet blush. The flesh is yellow, juicy, of medium density, and fine-grained, with an acidic-sweet taste rated at 4.5 points. The fruit stalk is short, and the calyx is semi-open. The fruits ripen in the third decade of September and can be stored for up to four months, and under some conditions — until March, which allows them to be used both for fresh consumption and for preserves. The 'Symbol' variety is characterized by high yield — from one tree you can collect from 60 to 80 kilograms of apples. It has good immunity to scab and other diseases, which reduces the need for intensive treatment. Thanks to these qualities and frost resistance, the 'Symbol' apple tree is a reliable choice for gardeners seeking a stable and high-quality yield in harsh climatic conditions.
