“Once I noticed the photographs and characteristics of the Altai Rumyanoye variety and bought it. In my summer cottage, he is now bringing in a crop.

However, it has a small drawback. The ovaries do not hold tightly to the peduncle and, in cold and strong winds and rains, they can greatly deteriorate and fall. However, the apple tree is hardy and immune to scab. The fruits are quite sweet. The inside is dense and yellowish in color. I love this strain. "
