Cherry Plum Rootstock

Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.

Cherry plum is used as a seed rootstock for stone fruit crops, providing high adaptability to heavy and waterlogged soils, good anchorage, and tree longevity.

In the reference 28 varieties crop Cherry plum, where this is mentioned in the description.

Wild cherry plum is a universal rootstock for plum, peach, and nectarine, characterized by high compatibility with most varieties. Trees on cherry plum seed rootstocks are notable for their vigorous growth, tolerance to calcareous soils, and ability to withstand temporary flooding, while seedlings produce almost no root suckers.

For the selection of clonal rootstocks, cherry plum is used in hybridization to modify growth vigor and adaptability. These include the dwarfing rootstock VVA-1 (a hybrid of Nanking cherry and cherry plum) and the vigorous rootstock Kuban 86 (cherry plum × peach). When using vegetatively propagated forms, it is necessary to consider varietal selectivity and the tendency of some hybrids toward root suckering.
