In Chile, the post-transplant survival, canopy growth and productivity of two cultivars were evaluated: Lapins on Colt and Regina on Gisela 12. The cultivars were grown with root volumes of 100%, 50% and 25% and with bare-root or bagged nursery plants.

The association of intensive orchards with bidimensional canopies and good accessibility to canopy by labour and machines is essential to reduce the cost of production. In cherry the increase of harvest rate increased by 72% when UFO was compared with the traditional open center.

Michigan State University evaluated dozens of sour cherry crosses for their potential as cherry rootstocks, resulting in the Corette® series of precocious and productive dwarfing to semi-dwarfing rootstocks and several semi-vigorous, less precocious rootstocks.

Weigi rootstocks are crossings between GiSelA- and Weiroot-clones. Further trials started in 2004 on 4 different locations in Germany and France. After few years testing and some positive results, decision is taken to propagate them invitro in Italy and start making trees.

The selection of these interspecific rootstocks was made on basis of the induced tree vigor and tolerance to environmental stresses like drought, flooding, frost and pH content of soil. At present seven Krymsk rootstocks have been patented and have been commercially released.

In Serbia, sour cherries are a traditional fruit type grown on 19,551 ha. A study conducted by the University of Kragujevac in Čačak probed the suitability of seven clonal rootstocks and one seed rootstock (mirabolan) grafted with the sour cherry variety 'Šumadinka'.

Since 2017, the MSU team has been comparing the performance of early dwarfing rootstocks (all from the Corette® series), developed by the university itself, with reference rootstocks Gisela 5, Gisela 12, Gisela 3 (sweet cherry only) and Maxma14.
