Chaenomeles MICHURINSKY VITAMIN

Chenomeles 'Michurinsky Vitamin' – a compact shrub about 60–70 cm tall and up to 95 cm in diameter, thornless, with a spreading, moderately branched structure. Leaves are dark green, glossy, and oval, giving the plant a well-groomed appearance.

The inflorescences consist of six simple orange flowers up to 5 cm in diameter, creating a bright decorative impression during the flowering period. Fruits are medium to large in size (55–60 g) with an elongated-pyriform shape, colored orange-yellow with characteristic spots and a ribbed surface. The fruit skin is covered with a dense felted bloom, and the pedicel is almost absent – instead, a bumpy protrusion is visible in the middle of the upper part of the fruit on the branches.

The variety is distinguished by its resistance to diseases and pests, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. Due to the combination of decorative qualities and fruiting, 'Michurinsky Vitamin' is considered a medium-maturing, useful, and attractive plant for planting on small plots.
