The article describes the results of the analysis of morphometric parameters of a leaf plate (leaf plate area, the mass of one leaf in completely dry state, mass of 1 cm² of leaf in completely dry state) and the fruits of large-fruited apple cultivars in the V. Krutovskiy Botanical Garden. A significant positive correlation was found for winter apple cultivars between the number of leaves on the annual sprout and the mass of fruits. The obtained results can be used when conducting a preliminary determination of the expected yield of apple trees. It has been established that the varietal belonging of an apple tree influences the ecological efficiency and productivity of an apple orchard. The cultivars acknowledged perspective on the characteristics studied are recommended to use for creating apple orchards in the given and similar climatic conditions.
