Abstract
Winter-hardiness of cultivars and rootstocks is a critical issue in Latvia’s climatic conditions. Prunus mahaleb is the most popular rootstock for sweet cherries in Latvia.
However, this rootstock is unsuitable for intensive sweet cherry orchards due to its vigorous habit.
Therefore, it is necessary to find new rootstocks adapted to the local climate.
A trial was established in 2014 in the Institute of Horticulture (LatHort), where five clonal rootstocks: ‘PiKu 1’, PHL-A’, ‘GiSelA® 5’, GiSelA® 6’, ‘VSL 1’, and P. mahaleb (control) were evaluated.
A sweet cherry ‘Arthur’ obtained from the Estonian breeding program was grafted on the 6 rootstocks.
Trees were planted at a distance of 5×3.5 m with three replications per plot.
The intensity of flowering, productivity, tree growth, and tree viability after winter was evaluated.
During the first five investigation years, the cultivar ‘Arthur’ had the best viability of trees in combination with ‘GiSelA® 5’. The trees on P. mahaleb and ‘GiSelA® 5’ showed the highest flowering intensity.
More dead trees were observed in combination with ‘PiKu 1’.
