The mature tree is capable to give to 200 kg of perfect fruits annually. For increase in productivity it is required to land near "White filling" apples of other grades for the help in cross-pollination.

Disembarkation is made on hilly sites with low adherence of underground waters. It is important that the apple-tree grew on well lit place, even partial shadowing of krone of fruit-tree will affect its productivity. Prefers the soil "White filling" chernozem with the neutral pH level.
Saplings land in deep holes (depth up to 80 cm). The place of landing is enriched with compost in advance, bring peat. Before landing the roots of sapling soak in the clay talker. The shank is established in hole strictly vertically, carefully straightening backs on bottom. At correctly planted plant the root neck has to be 2-3 cm above ground level. The sapling is tied up to peg that it developed in the right direction. The site at the basis of trunk is mulched sawdust or peat.

Forming of krone of "White filling" happens in width, but not in height. After the first forming hairstyle on trunk 2-3 main tiers of skeletal branches have to be outlined.
If saplings have been planted on prime quality land, then for the first time fertilizers bring only in 2-3 years. As fertilizing use complex mineral additives and the rerotting organic chemistry. During the intensive growth of sprouts of apple-tree fertilize ammonium nitrate and nitroammofosky or normal chicken dung. Before blossoming in the soil bring superphosphate, and then arrange feed with sodium humate. Fertilize urea in the fall.
From development of infectious diseases and defeat by wreckers carry out preventive processing. Before swelling of kidneys the apple-tree is sprayed with fungicide means (for example, medicine "Is fast"). Repeatedly escapes and wood are sprayed during blossoming, using copper vitriol. That the spring sun together with returnable frosts has not caused burns on trunk, it is bleached.
For the winter the basis under tree is mulched thick layer of old manure. It will secure roots against destruction by frost.
