In 1964, 486 sweet cherry trees consisting of two scion cultivars, four interstocks, and four rootstocks, in all possible combinations, were planted at the Washington State University Royal Slope Research Farm in the Columbia Basin of Washington. The primary purpose of this experiment was to observe size and growth characteristics of the various combinations. The scion cultivars used were 'Bing' and 'Chinook'. Interstocks (about 12 inches in length) were the sour cherry cultivars, 'Kansas Sweet', 'Northstar', 'Montmorency' and 'Redrich'. Rootstocks were 'F/12/1 Mazzard', 'New York Mazzard', 'Mahaleb 4' and 'Mahaleb 900'. 'F/12/1' is an East Malling clonally propagated rootstock. 'New York Mazzard' is a common seedling rootstock. The two 'Mahaleb' stocks are seedling stocks selected by Dr. Earle Blodgett at Prosser, Washington.
