Rootstock is the hidden underground part of a tree to which a cutting or bud of a plant is grafted. It determines the growth characteristics, yield, durability, and viability of the sapling. The most important factor is the type of rootstock: seedling and clone (vegetatively propagated). It affects growth strength, fruit quality, and crop resistance.
Rootstock VSL-2, propagated in vitro in the laboratory, reaches a length of 30–40 cm and is supplied in a cassette of 104 pieces. It is known for high compatibility with cherry and sour cherry, making it the preferred choice for fruit species requiring good winter- and drought resistance, adaptability to soil conditions, and disease resistance.
Rootstock is used during the process of grafting trees. It may be presented in various forms: packaging of 100 pieces, seedlings, seedling in a container, etc., as well as include special varieties such as antipick, alich, zherdeli, M9 T337, Pumisselect, and others. Such material allows efficiently growing fruit trees, berry crops, and decorative plants, ensuring stable growth and high yield.
