Tridge summary

German scientists have identified the Gisela type cherry rootstocks as superior, producing larger fruits and optimizing fruiting. The Gisela 5 rootstock, in particular, is noted for its larger fruit size and suitability for humid regions like Transcarpathia, West Ukraine, and the north of Ukraine. However, it requires good watering and clay soils. Gisela 6 is preferred in regions with colder climates due to its deeper root system.
