Petrovača, Petrovka
Serbia
MM106
Late June to mid-July
Petrovača is a traditional domestic apple variety that was once found in nearly every village orchard. As an indigenous Serbian apple, Petrovka is one of the earliest varieties to appear on seasonal markets. Its fragrant fruits often evoke childhood memories of growing up in the countryside or visiting grandparents. This early-ripening variety deserves attention both for its culinary qualities and for preservation and breeding purposes. It is commonly consumed fresh or used in pies and pastries.
The flesh is juicy, tender, sweet, and pleasantly aromatic. Suitable for fresh consumption as well as for baking pies and desserts.
The fruit is small, weighing 40 to 50 grams, with a round-conical shape. The skin is thin, straw-yellow or red in color. The fruits are juicy, sweet, and fragrant. They easily detach from the tree and are usually collected from beneath the canopy for consumption.

You can purchase seedlings of Apple Petrovača at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
