"White filling" - a variety that occurs in a number of plants. Among them, apple and tomato trees are the most popular. Apple trees of this type are known in Russia for successfully growing and bearing excellent fruit on the island of Valaam, where about half a thousand are planted inside the monastery walls. For their successful development, rich soils are not needed, but loams with sufficient moisture and places protected from strong winds are considered optimal.

Apple tree "white filling" has a beautiful pyramidal (southern version) or rounded (northern version) crown, medium size and high frost resistance. The fruiting period of young specimens is fast, the harvest is collected annually, and it is quite plentiful. The advantage of the variety is early lush flowering, the buds are not afraid of frost or cold rainy weather.

Apples "white filling" are usually ready to eat in early August in central Russia, and later in the north, which allows us to classify the variety as early ripening. Fruits of medium size are larger and may have different halves or "seam" along the apple. The color is greenish-yellowish, does not have a blush, in the ripeness phase it is white-yellow with numerous whitish dots under the skin.

The "white filling" variety is not storable, the fruits are stored for about three weeks. This is facilitated by a very thin skin and the absence of an integumentary color, so delicate apples with a tart taste are best consumed immediately or made into juices. It is recommended to strictly observe the terms of harvesting, because the fruits crumble easily and acquire a powdery taste. Apples of this variety are not transportable, so they are grown mainly in summer cottages for personal use.

For a short and often cool Russian summer, it is necessary to select early ripening crops, which include "white filling" tomatoes. This proven variety was created a long time ago, in 1967, on the basis of such tomato varieties as Viktor, Mayak, Pushkin. Plants of this species are medium tall (about 44 cm), give uniformly ripening fruits weighing 100-150 g with good taste. The resulting fruits are rounded, with a slight ribbing. The culture is perfectly adapted to lower temperatures; it can be grown under film and in open ground. Seeds are planted for seedlings in early April, in May-June they can be placed in the ground, and the harvest can be obtained in about 110-115 days for certain varieties (“white filling-241” in the southern regions).

Tomatoes "white filling" have a dense skin, resistant to cracking, so goodare transported. Their advantages also include sufficient resistance to phytophrotosis, which makes it possible to obtain up to 8 kg of products per square meter in protected ground. The culture needs two or three top dressings for the entire growing season, watering with warm water, as well as tying to vertical trellises at the stage of formation of a single stem. Experts consider tomatoes of this variety to be among the best for growing in Russia.
