Gisela 12 rootstock boasts a robust root system with numerous fine roots, strong nutrient absorption capabilities, and superior anchoring and waterlogging resistance compared to Gisela 6. While Gisela 12 may not excel in early high yield potential as Gisela 6, it offers stable yields, ensuring abundant and consistent production. It is highly adaptable to various soil types and performs best in fertile, well-ventilated soils. Moreover, its excellent anchoring and waterlogging resistance make it an ideal rootstock for windy and rainy regions.

Gisela 12 rootstock exhibits significant dwarfing effects, has good compatibility with large cherry seedlings for grafting, and is particularly suitable for self-pollinating varieties. Even without fruit thinning after grafting, the resulting fruits will not shrink or overbear. Gisela 12 rootstock is easy to propagate and, as a newly introduced dwarfing rootstock, has been rapidly promoted in recent years.

Choose cherry rootstocks with caution, based on the local climate and the inherent characteristics of the rootstock!
