Abstract

The new and distinct cultivar of cherry rootstock, which has been given the designation GI 148/8 produces a tree which is generally spreading and which upon grafting produces a dwarf tree.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to cherry trees and more specifically to a new and distinct variety of cherry hybrid tree which is particularly useful as a rootstock.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new and distinct variety of cherry hybrid tree of the present invention was bred by the inventors as a cross of Prunus cerasus cv. "Schattenmorelle" with Prunus canescens in Giessen, Germany. It has been successfully asexually propagated by softwood cuttings at the University of Giessen in Giessen, Germany, and has been observed to remain true to the description set forth herein. In one test planting in Kassel, Germany, 148/8 was chip-budded with a mean success of 72%.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new and distinct cultivar of cherry rootstock, which has been given the designation GI 148/8 produces a tree which is generally spreading and which upon grafting produces a dwarf tree.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 illustrates a branch and bloom of GI 148/8.
FIG. 2 illustrates GI 148/8 flowers.
FIG. 3 is a whole tree view of 148/8.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
GI 148/8 as used as a rootstock for sweet cherry trees induces dwarfing to a significant degree. In comparison with rootstock F12/1, GI 148/8 produces 30 percent of growth, as measured as the fresh weight of the upper tree parts of cv. "Hedelfinger" after 12 years in orchards near Giessen, Germany. Precosity, high production of fruit and yield efficiency, good 100-fruit weight and no or very few suckers were induced. GI 148/8 as a rootstock confers earlier and heavier bearing to the scion as compared to F12/1 clonal cherry rootstock. In one trial, it induced a yield in the variety "Hedelfinger" in the 5th leaf of 4.9 kg/tree (cf. F12/1: 0.2 kg/tree) and in the 7th leaf of 18.8 kg/tree (cf. F12/1: 5.7 kg/tree). As a mean of seven years, 100-fruit-weight of "Hedelfinger" grafted on 148/8 was 754 grams, while 100-fruit-weight of "Hedelfinger" grafted on F12/1 was 735 grams.
GI 148/8 itself is semi-drooping. After eight growing seasons near Giessen, Germany, GI 148/8 demonstrated a height of 1.30 meters and a width of 2.20 meters. GI 148/8 is sensitive to the virus PNRV, tolerant to the virus PDV, and medium sensitive to "Pfeffinger disease." It has a sufficient tolerance to water-logging.
The following varieties of sweet and sour cherries have been successfully grafted onto GI 148/8: Hedelfinger Riesenkirsche, Buttners Rote Knorpel, Grosse Schwarze Knorpel, Van, Gold, Ulster, Bing, Early Burlat, Emperor Francis, Querfurter Konigskirsche, Napoleon, Rainier, Sam, Schmidt, Schneiders Spate Knorpel, Stella, Vega, Vic, Viva, Windsor, Hudson, Lambert; Montmorency, Meteor, Rubinweichsel, Morellenfeuer, North Star, Schattenmorelle, Rheinische Schattenmorelle, Ludwigs Fruhe, Leitzkauer, Nabella, Successa, Schwabische Weinweichsel. No graft incompatibility is presently known.
Ploidy of 148/8 is probably triploid (2n=3×). The ploidy status of the parents has been investigated by isoemzyme analysis and is tetraploid (2n=4×) for the mother plant=Prunus cerasus, "Schattenmorelle", and diploid (2n=2×) for the father plant, Prunus canescens.

General comparative data: In order to further distinguish 148/8 from its siblings, 148/1 and 148/9, the following comparative data are set forth for the latter two varieties:
148/1.--Provides 67 percent of growth, and measures at the height of the upper parts of "Hedelfinger" as compared to rootstock F12/1 after 12 years in orchards near Giessen, Germany. GI 148/1 is generally erect and medium strong in growth. Ungrafted, 148/1 exhibits medium strong vigor.
148/9.--Is sensitive to PNRV. Does require support and has few suckers; yield of "Hedelfinger" on 148/1 typically much greater than on 148/9 and vigor of "Hedelfinger" less on 148/9 than 148/1.
