Given is the analysis of the basic economic and useful features of 9 genotypes F2 by hybrids of russian cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera var. pissardii) in the conditions of the forest-steppe of the southern Urals. On the research period during, three selection forms: ‘Alma’, G 7-116, 9266 had a degree of freezing to 1.8 mark, the others no more than 1.0 mark. During the winter period of 2017/18, the death of generative buds by all genotypes was from 2.5 to 3.0 marks (25-50 %), which negatively affected to crop capacity. According to the results of research identified were four genotypes with weak growth of tree, which the height varies from 2.8 m (P 3-92) to 3.0 m (‘Duduka’). The group of medium-sized plants got five hybrid forms, where the highest plant height (4.5 m) was found by the genotype 9-266 – 4.5 m. The volume of the crown of the following forms varies from 4.2 m3 (P 3-92) to 17.8 m3 (9-266). Two genotypes have been identified for use in selection on a complex of attributes (large-fruiting, taste characteristics, crop capacity): ‘Duduka’, G 7-116. For the study of production was selected the sampling of the sort G 7-116.

The Middle Urals is a region of risky agriculture. Apple cultivars of more southern origin are usually unpromising due to insufficient level of hardiness, so there is a need to develop and deploy local apple-tree cultivars. The staff of Sverdlovsk Horticultural Breeding Station released a new apple cultivar, ‘Sverdlovchanin’. This cultivar is notable for high winter hardiness, productivity (average yield is ca. 18.0 t/ha), and low fruit shedding rate at harvest maturity. Its fruits are beautiful, uniform, yellow, roundish, weighing 110 g (maximum 205 g), with a very good sweet and sour dessert flavor. The ripening time under the conditions of the Middle Urals is usually late September, and fruits can be stored until the end of February. The author of this cultivar is L. A. Kotov The apple cultivar ‘Sverdlovchanin’ was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation in 2018.
