Global production of sweet cherries is approximately 2.2 metric tons annually, 35% of which from European countries. Italy is the top producer in Europe, with 110-120,000 metric tons equivalent to more than 15% of continental production. Among fruit tree crops, cherry has seen the most dramatic innovation in the last 15 years, due mostly to two factors: a new series of semi-dwarfing and dwarfing rootstocks and a new assortment of high quality and mostly self-fertile varieties.The new rootstocks have allowed the use of modern training systems used for high density orchards with the positive consequences of early bearing, increased yield per hectare and low production costs.Two other innovations are worth mentioning: varieties suitable for mechanical harvest by shaking stem-less fruit and the use of plastic films to protect the trees from rain during the pre-harvest and harvest period and prevent fruit cracking.Varieties harvested without stems have been in the European market for some years now and are destined for increasing success because they can be sold at a much lower price than traditional cultivars.

CLIMATE
Sweet cherry is native to Europe and is cultivated from Norway to the Mediterranean countries where most production is con-centrated. Two periods of fruit development are very sensitive to weather conditions: bloom (cold and rain) and harvest (rain). Starting about 20 years ago in Norway, plastic films have been used to protect the trees dur-ing these two periods, to elimi-nate the problem of rain and limit damage from cold. This tech-nique has been so successful that now the protection of cherry trees, particularly during fruit rip-ening, has become common in many cherry-producing coun-tries including Italy. Tree cover-ings are also used to hasten fruit ripening, but in this case they are applied in January-February and left in place through harvest. The coverings may be used only with self-fertile cultivars as insects have trouble pollinating in green-houses.
SOIL
With the exception of clay and anoxic soils, all soil types are suitable for growing cherries with a well-chosen rootstock. Among traditional rootstocks, Santa Lu-cia (seedling, SL 64) is still use-ful in the lime-rich, rocky, loose, dry soils of Puglia, or in Sabina (Lazio) or the Venetian hills. Colt has replaced seedling stock in the fertile and moist soils of the Po Valley. MaxMa 14 and MaxMa 60, hybrids of cherry seedling and Santa Lucia, are suited to various soil types. Selections of sour cherry such as CAB6P, Wei-root 10 and 13 are well-suited to heavy soils. Some of the dwarf-ing rootstocks such as Gisela 5 require very fertile and moist soil in order to sustain through the years the high and early yield that they induce. Among hybrids with intermediate vigour are Gisela 6 and 7, Piku 1 and Ceravium PHLA; these adapt well to various soil types as long as they are irrigated.
ROOTSTOCKS
Many cherry rootstocks are avail-able, thanks to public, private, na-tional and international breeding programs that have given nurse-rymen and growers many options for their specific needs and soil types. The main development has been dwarfing and semi-dwarfing rootstocks which have allowed the development of intensive cherry growing. These orchards achieve full production in few years from trees managed totally from the ground and able to pro-duce adequate quantities of high quality fruit. This requires an ad-justment in orchard management practices, both in terms of choice of grafting combinations (variety and rootstock interactions) and in terms of training systems, prun-ing, irrigation and fertilisation. In traditional low-density cherry orchards (500 trees/hectare) typi-cal of un-irrigated hilled areas, Colt, MaxMa Delbard 14 and CAB6P are without a doubt the rootstocks best able to cope with

environments with limiting factors (water, poor and marginal soils). MaxMa Delbard 14 allows the reduction of tree spacing be-cause it is less vigorous, and en-courages early consistent bear-ing in most varieties. For many areas of southern Italy, as long as they are not waterlogged or re-planted, SL64 promotes good yields and high graft compat-ibility. For high-density orchards the Gisela series of rootstocks is able to reduce the bulk of the tree, encourage early bearing, with trees managed totally from the ground; this lowers harvest costs by increasing hourly yield. Between the two options, Gise-la 5 is less vigorous (-50% rela-tive to seedling P. avium), while Gisela 6 is more vigorous and thus better adapted to a wider variety of soil conditions. The Piku series, P-HL-C* and MaxMa Del-bard 14 are suitable for high-density planting. All of these root-stocks require physical structures (poles and wires) and fertigation systems to support the trees through each phase of develop-ment. Even after harvest it is nec-essary to supply the trees with adequate water and nutrients to permit the differentiation of fruit-ing structures (floral buds) for the next growing season. Pruning strategies must also be adapted to the chosen graft combination, with the scope of stimulating new growth while keeping production near the central axis.
TRAINING SYSTEMS AND PRUNING
The introduction of medium-low vigour rootstocks has sparked innovation also in training sys-tems and tree management. In traditional cherry-growing zones and in hilly and poor soils, the use of vigorous rootstocks is compatible with 3-dimensional
open canopy training systems; whereas, in fertile foothill areas or plains, with irrigation water, the use of medium-low vigour rootstocks has allowed the de-velopment of training systems for high density orchards such as slender spindle, pillar and perpendicular Y. Since 3-dimensional open train-ing systems are used without ir-rigation, it is recommended that the transplanted first-year tree be topped at 50-70 cm above the ground to promote the growth of strong shoots that will become the main scaffold branches. Mul-tiple rounds of summer pruning will eliminate shoots that are too vigorous and tip the ones that should develop fruiting wood; any twisting or bending with ar-tificial weights will be performed on branches that are too verti-cal or are lacking in side shoots. For the Catalan vase, a train-
ing system started in Spain, the future branches are repeatedly summer-pruned (tipping shoots when they exceed 50-60 cm) in order to stimulate the growth of lateral shoots which will make up the structural skeleton of the plant, remaining relatively short and thus easily manageable from the ground. Later, the definitive structure will be achieved by thinning shaded branches in the centre of the canopy. Once the tree begins producing fruit, prun-ing will be limited to thinning fruit-ing wood and making renewal cuts to keep the tree within the desired dimensions. This pruning should be done in late summer so that floral buds present on the remaining branches may mature.The vertical wall training systems such as palmette and dra-peau Marchand are adopted in fertile foothills or plains us-ing rootstocks with high vigour

The branching struc-ture of the tree is composed of a basal tier of 4-5 branches at 70-90 cm height. These must not interfere with mechanized operations such as harvest or thinning (the first scaffold must be below the harvest platform trailer). Above the basal scaffold

the central leader is left with well-spaced fruiting branches in order to favour light penetration. These branches support the fruiting wood: spurs, hangers, twigs. Quality of the nursery trees is of critical importance, with pref-erence for robust trunks with sylleptic side branches. In first year trees without sylleptic side growth, the tree is topped at 60-80cm above the ground, or the bark is notched above selected buds to promote their growth. In the orchards first years, summer pruning is used to encourage the growth of the central axis tip and the lower tier of scaffold branch-es, removing branches that are too upright and vigorous, and heading those which should develop fruiting wood. On the scaffold branches, thinning cuts are made to select lower-angled shoots and open the canopy.
One variant of the slender spindle is the pillar, which is suitable for modern high-density orchards in fertile soils with risk of late spring cold. As with the spindle system, the pillar requires trellis posts and wires to support the trees as well as the irrigation/fertiga-tion system. Low-medium vigour rootstocks are appropriate for the pillar system, which reduce plant size, allowing better light penetration in the lower canopy (Gisela 5 and 6, P-HL-C* and MaxMa Delbard 14), and en-courage precocious bearing. The pillar structure is based on a cen-tral axis which supports the fruit-ing wood (spurs or hangers) di-rectly on it or on short branches, and does not have a basal scaf-fold tier. Depending on the plant-ing distance, un-branched or 1- to 2-year-old branched trees or may be used. Trees are allowed
to grow freely, removing only excess fruiting wood. Topping weak trees at 30-40 cm from the ground is recommended, leaving only one of the resulting shoots to become the central axis. To keep the fruiting wood near the central axis, current years shoots should be pruned back by 1/3rd of their length which permits the remaining buds to mature. At the end of the winter, dormant prun-ing is used to further shorten the branches, leaving only 4-6 buds. Of these, the basal buds will pro-duce large and well-coloured fruit while the buds towards the end of the branch will produce vegetative renewal growth. This kind of pruning is very simple, quick and doesnt require skilled labour, and it allows adequately-sized fruit to be obtained from dwarfing rootstocks, which oth-erwise have a tendency to pro-
