The Prunus avium seedling is a very vigorous rootstock ideal for growing large, productive cherry trees. This seedling is the traditional rootstock for sweet cherries and produces trees that reach a great height (up to 6 metres or more) and produce excellent yields. Because of its vigorously growing nature, the Prunus avium seedling is less suitable for intensive orchards, but excellent for urban applications such as espaliers along streets, public buildings and in parks.
Key features:
Growth and Productivity: The Prunus avium seedling promotes vigorous growth, resulting in large trees with an impressive height of more than 6 metres at maturity. This makes it the ideal choice for standard cherry trees in commercial cultivation and for decorative applications.
Compatibility: This rootstock is compatible with almost all sweet cherry varieties, making it versatile in different growing conditions and applications. It is an excellent choice for both self-pollinating and cross-pollinating cherry varieties.
Application: Prunus avium seedling is widely used for espaliers and avenue planting along roads, parks, and public buildings. It is a traditional and proven choice for commercial cherry production and ornamental purposes.
Cold resistance: The seedling is reasonably cold-resistant, although it is not as cold-resistant as the Gisela series rootstocks. This makes it suitable for moderate climates and especially for areas with mild winters.
Longevity: The long-lived nature of the trees makes this rootstock ideal for long-term plantations that want to grow productive and sturdy cherry trees for many years.
Application and Suitability:
The Prunus avium seedling is the perfect choice for growing large cherry trees in commercial orchards, urban settings, and for planting in parks and along public roads. Thanks to its vigorous growth and ability to produce large trees, this seedling is ideal for applications requiring longevity and high productivity.
