Abstract

Commercial plantings of both sweet cherries ( Prunus aviumL.) and red tart cherries ( P. cerasusL.) are usually grown on rootstocks of either "mazzard" ( P. avium) or St. Lucie ( P. mahalebL.). A limited number of orchards are on Stockton Morello or other P. cerasusroots. Representatives of numerous other species have been tried as rootstocks in years past, and testing of such exotic species is currently underway at several stations. The trials at East Mailing, UK; Grand-Manil, Belgium; Giessen, German Federated Republic; and Dresden-Kllnitz, German Democratic Republic are particularly noteworthy because of the spectra of taxons which they encompass.
