How this tool works

Stone-fruit rootstock behavior varies across Prunus species, cultivars, viruses, soils, and climates. The tool provides conservative reviewed categories and refuses to infer a durable union from short-term callus alone.

Assumptions & Physical Constraints:

Use certified propagation material. WSU flags Krymsk 5 and 6 as sensitive to Prunus ringspot and prune dwarf viruses; this tool does not diagnose virus status.

Sweet Cherry + Gisela 5: WSU describes a precocious tree about half the size of Mazzard that may need support. Confirm the cultivar, site, and training system.
Rule-set status: Interface/model revision 4.2.0 • September 6, 2026. Sources and limitations below; this date is not a field-trial date.
Sources and model basis: WSU Tree Fruit Extension: Rootstocks for Cherry • Pacific Northwest Extension PNW 667: Cherry Training Systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Gisela cherry rootstock for peach?

No. Gisela rootstocks are selected for cherry systems and peach-on-Gisela is not treated as a dependable propagation combination. Do not infer durability from short-term callus.
