Cyclanilide Induces Lateral Branching in Sweet Cherry Trees

Fertigation of Deciduous Fruit Trees: Apple and Sweet Cherry

Nutrient uptake by trees is determined by root interception, soil availability, and tree demand. Fruit trees have low rooting density, especially in the case of dwarfing rootstocks. Mobility in the soil is a key factor in determining nutrient availability, and good management of nutrients requires that supply is matched to demand, in terms of amount, timing and retention in the root-zone, and t...

Cyclanilide Increases Branching of Herbaceous Perennials

Many herbaceous perennials would benefit from additional branching to provide fuller pots in shorter production times. Cyclanilide (Tiberon, OHP, Inc., Mainland, PA, USA), a new product recently labeled in the USA for branching of woody ornamentals, was evaluated on several herbaceous perennials over two seasons. Cyclanilide was applied as a foliar spray to established plants grown in 1.1-L pot...

Sweet cherry rootstocks for the Pacific Northwest

All commercial sweet cherry trees are either budded or grafted. The part of the tree above the graft/bud union is known as the scion and the part below the graft/bud union is known as the rootstock. Sweet cherry scion cultivars have been selected over millennia for many reasons, but over the past century, breeding programs have concentrated mainly on achieving improved characteristics such as y...
