Objective. To study the features of growth and fruiting of new summer varieties of apple trees on a medium-sized rootstock 54-118. The objects of research are summer varieties of apple trees bred at FGBNU VNIISPK (Orel city) - Avgusta, Daryona, Maslovskoye, Osipovskoye, Zhilinskoye, Spasskoye, Yablochny Spas and the control variety of Canadian selection Melba on a medium-sized clonal rootstock 54-118.
