After she was cured, she recovers at an accelerated rate. Bears fruit regularly. Apples taste great. We eat them fresh for three months, then they spoil. To avoid spoilage, we prepare jam, compote, jelly from fruits. And apples are also dried and canned here. "

Olga, Krasnoyarsk Territory:

The “Papiroyantarnoe” apple tree is quite good if we compare it with other varieties of summer ripening. Adaptation to various weather conditions occurs almost instantly. The variety has unpretentiousness to care, immunity to fruit rot and powdery mildew. I liked the apples for their commercial properties, sweet taste and aroma. But one thing is inconvenient - the apple tree needs to be constantly covered so that it does not freeze over. "

Alena, Novosibirsk:

“Variety“ Papiroyantarnoe ”grows on my territory on a dwarf rootstock. The tree is small in height, has wide branches. Apples are distributed equally over the entire area of ​​the crown. The fruit has a juicy and sweet taste. I procure and preserve them. It turns out tasty and healthy. Since apples can lie for a long time, we eat them fresh until the very November days. When choosing a dwarf rootstock, consider the location of the root system. Its growth goes not in depth, but to the ground level. This means that the roots may freeze slightly, this will negatively affect the future harvest. Therefore, I recommend that you look at the photos, read the characteristics of the variety, in order to avoid mistakes when carrying out agricultural technology. "
