Abstract

The article presents a study of the growth rates of annual seedlings of large-fruited varieties of domestic apple (Malus domestica Borkh), grown in the conditions of the upper terrace of the Botanical Garden named after M. Kru-tovsky, Krasnoyarsk. The seeds for cultivation were collected from mother trees growing on the lower and upper terrac-es of the garden. The height of the terraces differs by 28 m. It was revealed that the phenological form of apple varie-ties also affects the growth rates of seed progeny. Large size of aboveground part and weight of one leaf is noted in seedlings of winter varieties. The presence of intervarietal variability in indicators of apple seedlings was established. Fast-growing varieties (Anisik ordinary, Antipaskhalnoe, Papirovka, Pepin saffron) and individual half-sibs (Papirovka No. 44, Cinnamon striped No. 30, Grushovka Moskovskaya No. 34, White filling No. 8 and 27, Slavyanka No. 28, Aport Central Russian No. 1, Titovka No. 1, General Orlov No. 43, variety No. 22 No. 29, etc.), characterized by a greater height and diameter of the stem of annual seedlings, for further selection research
