Apple variety is one of the most modern achievements of breeding.
This is a triploid, summer, high-yielding variety.
The direction of breeding triploid varieties is quite new, it is not more than a few decades old.
Apple trees of such varieties have three complete sets of chromosomes, unlike ordinary - diploid.
Their fruits are much larger than normal and show very good resistance to a complex of diseases. Detailed description and photos in the article.
What kind is it?
Summer variety of apples. Today Russian breeders bred about 20 triploid varieties.
Of these, six have already passed the necessary tests and are included in the State Register, and this is one of these varieties.
Storage conditions for most apples are similar.
Carefully collected fruits inspect before storing, sort, selecting the most healthy.
Any apples with traces of bruises or spoilage are postponed for food in the coming days or for culinary processing.
From the juicy pulp of apples you get a wonderful fresh juice, and after a while - delicious cider or other drinks.
Very tasty jam and jam are made from apples of this sort, they make a wonderful filling for pies.
For proper storage of apples is very important to protect them from excessive moisture and temperature changes.
The temperature in the room, basement or other room should remain. about zero degrees, need good ventilation.
Apples are stored in plastic, wooden or plywood boxes, often using capacious boxes of cardboard.
During the winter it is necessary from time to time to sort through the stored apples manually, in time to remove all the fruits that have begun to deteriorate.

Pollination
Despite the fact that triploid varieties of apple trees have rather high levels of self-fertility, one cannot fully rely on self-pollination.
therefore it is recommended to plant other apple trees near the variety, two or more diploid varieties.
Description of a grade Apple Spas
You can separately consider how the tree looks, and how - the apples themselves.
A tree with a large, dense crown and branches located at a fairly long distance.
These apple trees have a smooth bark, pointed leaves of matte green color with a light cannon on the surface and petioles, with a slightly wavy edge.
On average, large apples - over 200 grams, round, with smooth skin.
The color is yellow with a greenish tint, the top color looks like bright crimson-red vertical stripes.
This color takes about half the surface or less.
Clearly visible subcutaneous points.
The flesh is very juicy, its density is average, does not change during storage.
The color of the pulp is very light, with a delicate greenish tint.

Breeding history
Homeland varieties - Krasnodar (SKZNIISViV).
Parent Varieties - Apple Trees Tetraploid paping and Redfrey.
Further tests, including the selection of seedlings, the variety was held in Orel on the basis of VNIISPK.
The authors of the variety are a team of scientists led by Evgeniya Nikolaevich Sedov.
The peculiarity of the variety during selection is - resistance to scabwhat the special Vf gene is responsible for.
The name of the variety is related with the Orthodox holiday Apple savedwhich accounted for on August 19.
On this day, the fruits of the new crop were sanctified.
It was believed that before the rite of consecration can not eat apples and other fruits.

Natural growth region
To the State Register of Central Black Earth Region grade included in 2009.
Adaptation of the variety in many other regions of Russia, including in SiberiaIt is quite successful.
Sort showed good frost resistance. As a result of testing the seedlings at a 25 degree frost, small, reversible damage to the tissues and vegetative buds were noted.
Compared with the control grade frost resistance was recognized as high.
Variety Apple spas recommended for wide breeding in central Russia.
Further work is planned to increase its frost resistance.
Yield
Trees give good yields relatively early, so Apple saved attributed to the varietal varieties.
Productivity increases with the age of the tree.
With apple trees in age from 7 years can be collected on average more than 45-50 kg of fruit.
Harvest time depends on the region, but this is mainly the second decade of August.

Diseases and pests
A special achievement in the selection of this variety was his immunity, that is, complete immunity to scab.
This dangerous fungal disease has everywhere caused a significant loss of the harvested apple crop, especially in wet and wet weather.
The Vf gene is responsible for immunity to scab (all 5 known species) and is present in many varieties of apples cultivated in the past decades, and Apple has saved - including.
Experts call varieties of apples that are immune to scab: they are very important for breeding. reduces the need for pesticides and has an unusually beneficial effect on the environment each region.
Apple spas are also called among the best varieties for the new - intensive - type garden.
According to academician E. N. Sedov, such garden gives quick returns with small investments.
In such gardens it is planned to use columnar apple trees and trees on dwarf rootstocks, which greatly facilitates the harvest.
The combination of triploid with immunity to scab, as well as excellent frost tolerance, makes it possible to speak of the variety Apple saved as a very promising one.
High yield is combined with excellent taste of juicy, fragrant, sweet apples.
