Abstract

Vegetative and reproductive characteristics of five resistant apple cultivars budded on ‘М9-Т337’ rootstock were compared in the intensive orchard, planted at the density of 2380 trees per hectare (3.5 × 1.2 m) in the period 2017-2023. Trees were formed as tall spindle, under an insecticidal net against hail. Trees were grown under drip irrigation and sod-mulch system was applied. The cultivars FUJIONpbr and ENTERPRISE demonstrate greater trunk-cross section area, higher trees and greater crown volume to the tested cultivars. The smallest trees were noted in Cultivar GEMINI*. The lowest yield per unit area was obtained on cultivar FUJIONpbr. There was no significant difference among other cultivars. Despite of generally good characteristics the cultivar GEMINI* has relatively small fruits. Keywords: apple, vigor, productivity, fruit weight, yield
