Everything about Antonovka Apple totally explained
Antonovka is a late-fall or early-winter
apple cultivar that was widely grown in the
Soviet Union and, previously, in the
Russian Empire.
Ivan Bunin's early short story,
Antonovka Apples (1900), is a sort of
ode to this apple cultivar.
Its popularity is explained by the Antonovka's ability to sustain long harsh winters typical for some regions of Russia and for its superior preservation qualities. Sometimes nicknamed "the people's apple" (народное яблоко), it was especially popular among the
dacha owners, and remains widely grown at dachas in many
Post-Soviet states.
Antonovka apples are especially well-suited for late
apple wine. The taste of the wine is noticeably lighter than wine from other more "ordinary" apples.
While the fruit-bearing trees have not received a wide recognition outside the former Soviet Union, many nurseries do use Antonovka rootstocks, since they impart a degree of winter-hardiness to the grafted varieties.
