The Prunus domestica 'WeiGi 2' is a semi-dwarf rootstock, ideal for intensive cherry cultivation, with a growth vigour comparable to Gisela® 5, but with better heat and drought resistance. Developed in Germany, this rootstock is particularly suitable for central European cherry orchards. 'WeiGi 2' offers excellent stability and anchorage, making it a reliable choice for commercial cherry cultivation.

Key features:
Growth vigour: The 'WeiGi 2' has a growth vigour of 50% to 70% compared to the standard, which makes it suitable for intensive cultivation. This rootstock is comparable to 'Gisela® 5' in terms of growth on very fertile soils, but also offers better resistance to heat and drought.

Support:
Support: As 'WeiGi 2' is a semi-dwarf rootstock, it requires permanent support for optimal growth and yield.
Conclusion:
The 'WeiGi 2' rootstock is the ideal choice for intensive cherry cultivation in areas with fertile soils, such as in central Europe. Thanks to its robust properties, such as good heat and drought tolerance and high yields, this rootstock is perfect for growers who want to produce large, healthy fruits with a good tree structure and stability.
