For intensive sweet cherry growing in temperate conditions, the GiSelA® clones are the first successful and economically important dwarfing rootstocks. Production, marketing and rights for these rootstocks, which originate from a breeding program at the university of Giessen (Germany)...

GiSelA®6 Gi 1481(S) is less demanding to quality of soil, water supply and cultural management than GiSelA®5 Gi 1482(S). The vigor of this clone is between GiSelA®5 Gi 1482(S) and P. avium. It is adapted to less intensive cultivation. Despite of vigorous growth in the first years, trees start to crop early.

Small trees have to be pruned so that a sufficient number of new shoots are built. These provide for an adequate mass of leaves, necessary for the production of a great number of fruits of good quality.
