Cherry is a fruit stone fruit crop, popular in many countries of the world and on the territory of the Russian Federation. Cherry fruits are valued for their dessert and delicate taste, high content of nutrients. It is consumed fresh and processed. Cherries are especially suitable for making compotes. Breeders have created many varieties of cherries for different soil and climatic conditions. Cherry varieties differ in color and ripening of fruits. The trees are tall, have a spreading and sparse crown, and require regular pruning. To create cherry varieties with small-sized crowns, it is necessary to select compact crowns and propagate cherry varieties on clonal rootstocks. Scientific studies on the propagation of cherries on vegetatively propagated rootstocks indicate a decrease in the growth activity of annual seedlings in the fruit nursery, and shortening of the central trunk of seedlings (tweezing) allows you to increase the formation of side shoots at a given height and form a crown in annual cherry seedlings. It has been established that the studied cherry varieties when grafted on clonal rootstocks VSL-1 and LC-52 provide good survival in the nursery, high yield of planting material, but the growth and development of seedlings depends on variety-rootstock combinations.
