The 'White Hanging' apple variety is an early-ripening summer variety known for its high yield and early fruiting. The trees are medium-sized, reaching a height of about 3-3.5 meters, with a pyramidal crown in the first few years of life, which gradually becomes rounded. The fruits are of medium size, weighing from 100 to 190 grams, with a round-conical shape, smooth skin in light yellow or white color with a yellowish blurred blush. The flesh is snow-white, tender, juicy, and acid-sweet with a pleasant aroma, which becomes softer when overripe, practically not losing its taste qualities.
The variety ripens very early – harvest begins in the first decade of July and continues until the end of August. The fruits store well in cool conditions for about 2-3 weeks, making them in demand for fresh consumption as well as for making jams and jellies. Apples are rich in minerals and have useful properties, including helping to maintain weight.
For successful cultivation, it is recommended to plant trees in sunny areas with fertile, well-drained soil. Planting is best done in early spring or autumn after the leaves fall, maintaining a distance between trees of 4-5 meters. Care includes regular watering, fertilizing in spring and summer, pruning to regulate size and increase yield, as well as protection against pests and diseases. Due to its hardiness and adaptability to various soils, the 'White Hanging' variety suits different climatic conditions and will be an excellent choice for gardeners wishing to get delicious and aromatic apples of early ripening.
