Description and features
Gardeners who plan to plant such a plant in the garden should familiarize themselves with its description.The Cinnamon new variety was bred back in 1965 by domestic breeders. Just a few years after their appearance, these apples began to be popular among gardeners and representatives of industrial enterprises.
The plant is classified as a fruit with an early ripening period, which ripens in a month and a half in the central part of the country and in two months in the southern part.
New Cinnamon trees are classified as vigorous, as they quickly grow to 4-6 meters.
Their crown is distinguished by a pyramidal shape, which gradually becomes rounded. The branches of the trees are strong and therefore cope well with loads and wind gusts. The characteristic features of the variety include the bright cinnamon color of the bark, which is how the variety got its name.
