Reviews from gardeners
Maria, Moscow region:
“The Marat Busurin apple tree variety has been growing on our site for several years now. I am glad that the plant is winter-hardy and rarely gets sick. Caring for an apple tree is not burdensome. And the fruits are very tasty and juicy, which we eat fresh before the New Year holidays.
Olga, Leningrad region:
— We have been growing apples of the Marat Busurin variety at our dacha for 3 years now, but have not yet harvested a full harvest. This is because the flowers were not picked in the first 2 years. It turns out that to speed up fruiting they need to be removed.
Ilya, Volga region:
— The apple tree is above all praise. It bears fruit consistently, despite the fact that we are rarely on our own plot and do not care for the plantings very carefully. But we harvest regularly, at the end of each season. I like the taste of the fruits, although the skin is a little thick.
