Abstract

The new and distinct cultivar of cherry rootstock, which has been given the designation GI 148/2 produces a tree 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 use of cherry hybrid trees as rootstock is known in the art of producing cherry trees. One such variety is F12/1, a vegetatively propagated P. avium-selection. Root stock varieties GI 148/1 and 148/8 are described in U.S. Plant Pat. Nos. 8,852 and 8,954 respectively. The use of cherry hybrid varieties as rootstock produces a dwarf tree that comes into earlier and heavier bearing without sacrificing fruit size.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cherry rootstock of this invention, which has been given the designation GI 148/2, produces a tree which upon grafting produces a dwarf tree. In the first years, until about the 6th year, it induces a growth reduction to 30-70% of F12/1, depending on the site etc. and later on to about 30% of F12/1. It induces flat angles, precocity and high yielding efficiency, good fruit size and no or very few suckers. Support may be helpful during the early years.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 illustrates a branch and dormant lateral buds, bark and lenticels of GI 148/2.
FIG. 2 is a whole tree view of 148/2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION 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.
GI 148/2 used as a rootstock for sweet cherry trees induces dwarfing to a significant degree. In comparison with rootstock F12/1, GI 148/2 produces 31 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. Precocity, high production of fruit and yield efficiency, good fruit size and no or very few suckers are induced. GI 148/2 as a rootstock confers earlier and heavier bearing to the scion as compared to F12/1. In one trial, it induced a yield in the variety "Hedelfinger" in the 5th leaf of 6.2 kg/tree (cf. F12/1:0.2 kg/tree) and in the 7th leaf of 12.8 kg/tree (cf. F12/1:5.7 kg/tree). As a mean of seven years, 100-fruit-weight of "Hedelfinger" grafted on 148/2 was 740 grams, while 100-fruit-weight of "Hedelfinger" grafted on F12/1 was 735 grams.
GI 148/2 itself is of weak growth and has bushy, upright branches. It has demonstrated good winter-hardiness in Germany. After ten growing seasons near Giessen, Germany, GI 148/2 demonstrated a height of 2.15 meters and a width of 2.20 meters. GI 148/2 is tolerant to the virus PDV, tolerant to the virus PNRV, 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 148/2: Hedelfinger Riesenkirsche, Buttners Rote Knorpel, Grosse Schwarze Knorpel, Van, Gold, Ulster, Bing, Early Burlat, Emperor Francis, Querfurter Konigskirsche, Napoleon, Ranier, 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, Abels Spaete, Alma, Bianca, Bigg, Charmes, Burlat, Castor, Compact Stella, Dolleseppler, Early Burlat, Early Rivers, Froschmaul, Grosse Schwarze Knorpel, Hardy Giant, Hedelfinger, Hedelfinger Hilltop, Koenigskirsche, Kordia, Meckenheimer, Mercjant, Merton Glory, Napoleon, Oktavia, Regina, Sam, Schmidt, Schneiders Spate Knorpel, Souvenir de Charmes, Spaldomg, Stella, Ulster, Unterlaender, Valera, Valeska, Van, Werdersche Braune, Windsor, Kelleriis 16, Stevinsbaer Viki. No graft incompatibility is presently known.
Ploidy of 148/2 is probably triploid (2n=3×). The ploidy status of the parents has been investigated by isoenzyme analysis and is tetraploid (2n=4×) for the mother plant=Prunus cerasus, "Schattenmorelle", and diploid (2n=2×) for the father plant, Prunus canescens.
