Teremok

The Teremok apple tree is a medium-sized tree with a flat-rounded crown, characterized by wide spacing of skeletal branches and moderate density. The tree grows quickly, but early loss of the main leader occurs, causing some drooping of lower branches. This variety begins fruiting as early as the third year after planting, with fruits forming on both one-year growths and spurs. Flowering occurs in mid-season, and the harvest is collected in early September, corresponding to the autumn ripening period. The fruits of the Teremok apple are large, weighing from 140 to 200 grams, with a truncated-conical shape, often asymmetrical. The fruit skin is of medium thickness, dense, smooth, and either dry or slightly waxy to the touch. The fruit color is light yellow with a bright orange-red, diffuse blush covering most of the surface, including stripes and speckles. The flesh is tender, finely-grained, light yellow, juicy, and aromatic, with a pleasant wine-sweet or slightly tart-sweet flavor. The fruits have high transportability and withstand storage in a refrigerator for up to three months. The Teremok variety is distinguished by high cold hardiness and resistance to fungal diseases such as scab and powdery mildew, making it suitable for organic cultivation without chemical protection. Due to these qualities and adaptability to various growing conditions, this apple tree is suitable for both commercial orchards and amateur gardening, including beginners. The best pollinators for this variety are Champion, Zhyotneve Duky, and Alkmen, which contribute to stable yields and fruit quality.
