Abstract
An experiment was conducted in 2003-2005 aimed at examining the effect of rootstocks Prunus avium, Colt, PHL A and Gisela 5 on growth and fruitage of the following cultivars of cherry trees: ‘Burlat’, ‘Kordia’, ‘Regina’ and ‘Van’. Dwarf rootstocks PHL A and Gisela 5 reduced tree growth by about 40–45% as compared with rootstocks Colt and Prunus avium. The yielding of sweet cherry trees on these rootstocks was much better. The best yielding was observed in case of cultivar ‘Van’. During the experiment, there were found physiological incompatibilities between cultivar ‘Burlat’ and rootstock PHL A, as well as between cultivar ‘Van’ and rootstock Colt.
