Currently there are many northern grades that are able to grow and delight harvest even in harsh conditions.

The first apricots appeared in Russia at Queen Alexei Mikhailovic. Educated, read, extremely inquisitive by nature, he loved beauty, delve into all the details of farms and gardening in its Moscow region possessions. It was when it in 1654 in Moscow, 4 trees of "peach plums" and 2 wood "Armenian apples" appeared in Moscow (apricots). In the XVIII century, Apricot has become widely known in our country. It was grown in the monasteries, the oranges are known, and south - in the open soil. To the south of Russia, the culture penetrated independently, as the Crimea, the Caucasus and Turkestan joined.

Promotion north

Attempts to grow apricots in the northern regions began at the beginning of the twentieth century. The first varieties based on Apricos Manchursky brought Ivan Michurin in the Tambov region. This is Sazer, Mongol, Comrade and Best Michurinsky.

The work continued his disciples - they crossed Michurin apricots with Central Asian and European. So there were randomy varieties, Voronezh large, yield, breeding, amber, north triumph, dessert, collective farm, success.

Nowadays, breeding work is carried out in many regions of Russia - in the Volga region, Khakassia, in the Far East and the Urals, where varieties are created well adapted to local conditions.

However, if the grade feels perfectly in Siberia, this does not mean that he will also grow well in the European part of the country. For example, in Khakassia a special microclimate, extremely favorable for apricots. Winter there is cold, but without thaws and high snow cover. Summer roast and with increased solar radiation. Spring short and friendly. All this allows Apricot not only to survive to survive, fruit, but also avoid many diseases.

In Moscow, Professor A.K. Skvortsov, starting from the 50s of the last century, a cultural population of winter-hardy apricot was created. In just a few generations, it was possible to get a variety resistant to the Moscow climate. Originally bones for sowing were collected throughout the former USSR - from the Baltic States to the Far East.

Since 1984, work has continued L.A. Kramarenko. Collection of apricot in the main botanical garden expands. Gardens in 27 monasteries in the Moscow region and neighboring areas have been created. Attempts are made to promote Apricot even further - to the north of Vladimir and in the Tver region.

Michurin, as we remember, began to bring frost-resistant apricots at the beginning of the twentieth century. But already in the XVIII century, they grew perfectly in the vicinity of Moscow in the monasteries. That is, it turns out, the northern grades existed even 150 years before the famous breeder? Surely he did not know about them? Of course, knew. However, these apricots were not winter-hardy. And what about, you ask, monasteries?

And here it lies the main trick. The fact is that behind the high monastic walls, a special microclimate formed in a closed space - there were more heat on such omnorsis and cold winds did not penetrate there. But in ordinary gardens the same apricots ordered for a long time to live in the first winter.

Currently, in 3 monasteries in the very center of Moscow - Novospassky, Zaktyuvsky and in the Krutitsky compound - almost the entire range of Moscow apricots are grown.

Ufff, what a beauty! .. Immediately moved to childhood by reading with all the varieties - we had two apricot trees near the house, but then, being little, I did not know what kind of grade. So one of the trees was with apricots different from all the other - a pronounced taste, very fragrant - and even the heat treatment did not reduce the fragrance) how I then regretted that I did not plan such a tree in the country, because We moved from the house and the tree apparently died, there is no longer there. So this judging by the appearance was here in the article Yaltinets :)

Svetlana 03/29/2016
