Origin & Breeding History: 'STO1', which is typically used as a cherry rootstock, originated from a cross between Prunus avium L. and Prunus cerasus L. (botanically known as Prunus ×gondouinii ), in Germany, in 1989. The cross was conducted as part of a breeding program to create cherry rootstocks with improved adaptability. 'STO1' was selected in the summer of 1999 for its improved adaptability to heat and dry conditions when compared to other rootstocks, its weak vegetative growth, higher yield and positive influence on the fertility of the grafted variety.
Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'STO1' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number 2012/0021, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, in Angers, France. The trial was conducted by the Bundessortenamt, in Prüfstelle Wurzen, Germany, from 2015 to 2016.
