Variety description

10 August 2026

The apple variety «Uku» was created as a result of many years of breeding work in Estonia, aimed at obtaining a fruit crop with good taste qualities, high winter hardiness, and disease resistance.

Specialists from the Estonian University of Life Sciences, including Professor Aleksander Siimon and Kalju Kask, took part in the work to breed the variety. Detailed morphological characteristics of the fruit or a description of the tree are absent in open scientific publications.
