Fruit medium size, closer to small (80-100 g), rarely large, in shape can be round, conical, flattened. On the top they have subtle ribs.
On the surface of apples, sometimes longitudinal shovchik. The saucer is small, narrow, ribbed.

Breeding history
Variety obtained in 1937 at the Kuibyshev experimental station gardening by crossing Anisa Scarlet and Papies, is currently in the state registry Samara and Ulyanovsk regions. The author of this variety is Soviet. breeder S.P. Cedar. Sapling began to bear fruit in 1947. New variety surpassed Papia in taste and frost resistance.
Growing region
The variety has been zoned in Samara, Ulyanovsk and Orenburg regions. Currently grown in Middle Volga and Ural regions.
Apple Tree Daughter Papiroka is characterized by high winter hardiness and precociousness and can be recommended for areas with harsh climates, including Leningrad, Vologda, Pskov and Novgorod regionsincluding Valdai Hills.
In the southern regions, the variety is characterized by high yield and excellent taste, in the northern, the yield is slightly lower, the fruit is smaller, the taste is from good to excellent.
The following apple tree varieties are suitable for planting in these regions: Imrus, Antey, Cinnamon Striped, Cliff, Young Naturalist, Cinnamon Novoe, Quinti, Snow Calvil, Pepin Saffron, Rennet Simirenko, Uspenskoe, Rennet Chernenko, Zhigulevskoe, Zvezdochka, Anis Striped.
Yield
The grade differs in early fructification - for 3-5 year and good yield. Daughter Papirova refers to the most early summer varieties of apples.
In the southern areas the fruits ripen already in the second half of July, in central Russia - in the first half of August. Both perennial and young two and three year old branches and fruit twigs bear fruit.
Young trees (8-11 years) on average 4 years yield 62 centners per hectare (50 kg from one tree), and the maximum fruiting of apple trees comes at the age of 15-16 and reaches 150 centners per hectare in the southern regions.
Young trees bear fruit every year. Fruits ripen at the same time, almost not showered. Removal is carried out in one or two receptions. The fruits are very tender, easily damaged when harvested and require careful handling.
Apples have a short shelf life - up to two weeks practically not subject to transportation.
In industrial storage fruit may lie up to a monthHowever, at home it is difficult to maintain the desired temperature.
Usually, summer apples are not stored, but are immediately consumed or processed. If you still want to preserve the harvest, you can roll up fresh apples in three-liter glass jars or loosely put them in plastic bags, tie them up and put them in the cold.
Planting and care
Apple planting is carried out spring according to the standard scheme.
You can plant trees and in the autumn, but not later than a month before the start of frost. To buy seedlings is best in nurseries at the place of residence.
This ensures that the apple tree is adapted to the local climate. The younger the seedling, the better. It is very good if the tree is dug directly upon purchase: this way you will be able to make sure that it was grown in this nursery.
Before transporting the roots, wrap them with moss, a damp cloth or paper and wrap them in plastic wrap to preserve moisture.
If you buy a seedling in a container, inspect it from below and make sure that there are young roots sticking out of it.
The distance between the trees in the garden should be not less than 4-6 m.
For good growth and development of apple trees, planting on neutral, well-fertilized soils is most favorable. rich in potassium and organic matter.
The soil should be sufficiently moist. The landing place for a sapling is prepared in advance, during spring planting the place is prepared in the autumn. If the soil is fertile, the trees are planted in pits.
On loams, sandy loams, and chernozems, it is enough to remove the top layer of earth and make a groove in the 15-20 cm. On the sandy soils, on the contrary, prepare a large square a hole about 80 cm deep put moss into it to retain moisture and nutrients and cover it with fertile soil.
In this case, the planting of apple trees is carried out next year, with the obligatory introduction of complex mineral fertilizers (but mineral fertilizers, like fresh manure, cannot be added directly during planting, this can cause a burn).
In the sandy, sandy and podzolic soils during planting also make organic fertilizer - compost, humus or rotted manure. Clay, peat, as well as areas with groundwater closer than 1 m, are not suitable for apple trees. In this case, the apple trees are planted on the bulk of the hill.
Landing produce using a pegwhich is driven into the center of the landing pit. A sapling is applied to a peg, the roots are well straightened and gradually covered with earth.
You should not plant a tree too deeply, it impairs its growth and may even lead to death.
Root neck should be 3-5 cm above ground level.
High landing can be corrected by filling the ground around the trunk in the form of a mound.
Immediately after planting, the seedling is loosely tied to a peg and watered with 1-2 buckets of water regardless of weather conditions. For irrigation at the edges of the pit make the hole. After the soil subsides, the tree is tied up carefully, preferably with the help of three pegs.
Apple trees, especially in the early years of development, it is necessary to ensure regular watering.
First of all it concerns dry regions. To retain moisture, the soil is mulched with sawdust, bark, manure or black film.
In the spring apple trunks whitewash for the prevention of sunburn.
During the spring pruning remove dry branches. It is undesirable to severely injure the tree during this period, since the outflow of sap can cause the branches to dry out.
Crown formation is best done in the fall.
For this purpose, shortening and thinning of the branches is performed.
Remove dry branches, shoots that interfere with each other, get rid of thickened areas of the crown.
The general rule when pruning: remove competing with the central trunk, vertically growing branches, leaving horizontal.
Sections cover garden pitch.
Excessive pruning is undesirable, as it leads to increased growth of young shoots.
Diseases and pests
Fruits and leaves of the Daughter Paprika variety have medium scab resistance and other fungal diseases. This grade in less susceptible to diseases compared with Papirova, but also requires mandatory pest and disease control measures.
Scab looks like black spots and growths that first appear on the leaves, and then go to the fruit. The development of this unpleasant disease contributes to the rainy spring.
With a short distance between apple trees, the disease quickly spreads, moving from one tree to another. To protect against scab, regularly spray trees with special preparations.
One of the best are: "Healthy Garden", "Charm", "Zircon".
This is a new generation of biological products, harmless to humans.
Extremely discouraged use potent chemotherapy drugs such as "Nitrofen" and other poisons prohibited for use in garden plots and near residential premises.
To combat insect pests that hibernate in the bark of trees, whitewashing is carried out in the fall in dry weather.
This event is especially important to hold in the southern regions, as well as in areas where there are winter thaws.
The main advantages of the Daughter Paprika variety are early fruiting, high yield and winter hardiness. Apples are more tasty and juicy compared with Papirovka, but smaller.
The disadvantages include small fruit size at high yields as well medium resistance to scab.
