2 The global cherry production (in million tons) 2,5 2 1,5 1 0,5 0 sweet cherry sour cherry Background: Nutritional and health benefits Economic benefits Achievements in modern orchard systems, hand picking (Bujdosó, G. and Hrotkó, K. 2016), COSTFA 1104

3 The most important European sweet cherry growing areas

4 The most important European sour cherry growing areas

5 Cherry rootstock research and usage Orchards producing for processing industry (sweet and tart) require vigorous rootstocks. Intensive cherry orchards producing hand picked cherries need dwarfing or semi dwarfing and precocious rootstocks. Advanced breeding projects in W-Europe produced rootstocks for their soil and climate Largest cherry producer countries (Turkey, Irand and USA) use still seedling rootstocks. Hrotkó Károly Cseresznyealanyok 5

6 Development in cherry industry Separate orchards for fresh market and processing industry, New training and pruning protocols for orchards harvested by hand, Sweet cherry is produced mainly for fresh market Sour cherry produced mainly for processing industry orchards with mechanical harvest Hrotkó Károly Cseresznyealanyok 6

8 Open center canopies Steep leader (USA, Oregon, Washington, by Lynn Long). Spanish bush.

9 Steep leader Moderate and vigorous rootstocks, trunk height 40 cm Spacing: 5-6 x 3-4 m, Four leader, flat fruiting branches Bearing from 5-6. years Harvest from ground and low picking stands.

10 Spanish bush Open center, trunk height 40 cm, regular summer pruning is required. Vigorous rootstocks, in Spain on Prunus mahaleb SL x 3 m spacing, tree height 2,5 3 m. Harvested by hand from ground. Under rain cover, hail net or bird cover.

23 Horticultural practices

24 Orchard in bearing stage on MaxMa 14 root, spacing 4x1,5 m 24

25 Super spindle On precocious dwarf rootstocks only. Spacing: 3 x 0,5 0,8 m. Good soil, irrigation, shading, hail-net, raincover! Optimal for varieties bearing on basal part of current year wood (Regina, Linda). Needs severe pruning, in spring, no long fruiting branches.

26 Super spindle: narrow hedge like orchard

29 Hedges Palmetta: from Italy, due to high labour requirements is not spreading. V or Y Hedges, Tatura Hedge: Australia, New Zealand, Chile UFO (Upright Fruiting Offshoot, from USA) Orchards can be managed even on vigorous rootstocks.

30 Hedge with horizontal branches Cherry training and pruning in Hungary Prof. Dr. Hrotkó Károly 30

31 Y hedge in Poland Tatura hedge V hedge, China

32 UFO: Advantages: hand picking from ground, row distance 3 m well illuminated leafage, Disadvantages: 25-30% upright fruiting offshoots are always in non bearing stage.
