Gisela 5 is one of the most important dwarfing rootstocks for cherry (Prunus avium) in Central Europe, recommended in very high density plantations. It was obtained by crossing Prunus cerasus 'Schattenmorelle’ x Prunus canescens and it is known for its high precocity, dwarfing and productivity. ʻGisella 5ʼ is propagated clonally, using greenwood, soft or hardwood cuttings. In vitro cultures were established using vegetative shoots of ʻGisela 5ʼ, and after sterilization and inoculation of explants, multiplication mediums containing various concentrations of macroelements and phyto-hormones as BAP and GA3 were tested. Rooting capacity of the explants was observed on mediums with different salt concentrations and auxins as IBA, IAA and NAA.
