Origin & Breeding History: '31817' originated from a cross between an unknown female parent variety of Prunus canescens and an unknown male parent variety of Prunus avium. The cross was made in Giessen, Germany in 1970. The new variety was evaluated as a rootstock by grafting with different varieties and planted in multiple orchard locations. '31817' was selected in 1985 in Ahrensburg, Germany based on plant growth, fruit production in poor soils, ploidy, growth habit when un-grafted, and disease resistance.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of '31817' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number PRU 57, purchased from the Bundessortenamt, Hannover, Germany. The trial was conducted by the Bundessortenamt in Wurzen, Germany in 2014 and 2015.
