Mazzard cherry rootstock gives the grafted cultivar the stature of a genuine large tree. We would choose it for standards, spacious orchards and plantings intended to last for decades, thanks to strong anchorage and excellent longevity. It performs best in deep, freely drained soil. A smaller rootstock is preferable for confined gardens, rapid bearing or regularly waterlogged ground.

A vigorous wild cherry rootstock used for producing large, long-lived cherry trees with strong anchorage.
Wild Cherry Rootstock (Prunus avium), also known as Mazzard cherry, is a vigorous rootstock traditionally used for grafting sweet cherry varieties.
It produces strong, well-anchored and long-lived cherry trees, making it particularly suitable for traditional orchards, standard trees and lower-density planting systems where a large adult tree is desired.
Compared with dwarfing cherry rootstocks such as Gisela types, wild cherry gives much greater vigour and usually delays cropping slightly, but provides excellent tree structure and durability over time.
This rootstock performs best in deep, fertile and well-drained soils. It is less suitable for very wet, compacted or poorly drained ground.
