Apple tree varieties for the northern regions of Russia

The harsh climate of the northern regions allows for the cultivation of only hardy crops. These are most often Renet apple trees and semi-cultivated varieties, which are bred by crossing the former with cultivated varieties. Large-fruited varieties can withstand temperatures as low as -40°C only if they have a creeping crown. Therefore, only such varieties should be selected for cultivation.
