Pollination
Like most other species, Stroyevskoye is one of the most self-fruitful apples.

The best pollinators are Kandil Orlovsky, Veteran. The Memory of the Warrior, Imrus and some others also fulfill this role quite well.
To achieve maximum yields, it is necessary to correctly calculate the planting site and their number.
Experts recommend planting on each separate part of the garden one main variety (and the rest in other parts of the garden).
Moreover, for each of them it is best to plant not one, but at least two pollinators.
This is necessary because some of the types of apple trees have the so-called periodic fruiting and ripen not every year.
