Yunga

The Yunga apple variety is an early-ripening variety bred as a result of crossing the varieties Nepobedimaya Grella and Beliy Naliv at the Scientific Research Institute of Siberian Horticulture named after M.A. Lisavenko. The tree is medium-sized with a spreading crown of medium density, which has an inverted pyramidal shape. The tree grows slowly, which facilitates care and crown formation. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness, resistance to scab and sooty mold, as well as good drought tolerance. The apple's blossoms and buds are frost-resistant, making the variety reliable for cultivation in regions with harsh climatic conditions. The fruits of the Yunga variety have a proper round shape with a weakly ribbed structure and medium mass ranging from 45 to 75 grams. The primary fruit color is light yellow, sometimes with a slight tan on the sunny side. The fruit skin is covered with large white subcutaneous dots. The flesh of the apples is creamy-white, finely granular, of medium density, very juicy, and has a good sour-sweet taste with a rating of about 4.2 points. The chemical composition of the fruits includes 11.4% sugars, 0.8% titratable acids, and 18 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams, which makes them useful and tasty. The fruits ripen in the early-ripening period and can be stored for up to 30 days. The Yunga apple tree begins fruiting in the third or fourth year after planting, which allows for a fairly quick harvest. The variety's yield is average but stable due to its resistance to diseases and adverse weather conditions. The variety is widely distributed in the Siberian region and is suitable for cultivation in cold climate conditions. Due to its qualities and characteristics, the Yunga apple tree is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking to obtain tasty and useful fruits with minimal care costs.
