Vidubychka

Apple Vidubychka — a frost-resistant variety, characterized by early fruiting and a crown with drooping branches. Fruits ripen in October and can remain on the tree until December, allowing for an extended harvest period. The flesh is yellowish-white, loose, sufficiently juicy and sweet with a pleasant acidity, and the fruits do not darken for a long time when cut.

This variety was developed by Ukrainian breeders and is recommended for cultivation in the forest-steppe, Polissia and steppe zones. Yield is 35-40 kg per tree. Fruits have medium size — 160-190 grams, elongated-conical shape, greenish-yellow color with a blush on the sunny side and a bluish bloom. The flesh is creamy, dense, fine-grained, juicy, and tart-sweet in taste. Due to good storability, apples can be stored until May of the following year.

Additionally, the Vidubychka variety is used in breeding to obtain decorative apple tree forms with drooping crowns. Hybrids involving this variety demonstrate drought resistance in the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine, expanding its application both in fruit production and ornamental gardening.
