Cherry technology is permanently modernized due to new varieties, vegetal rootstocks and new tree management systems. The cherry varieties cv Bigarreau Burlat, cv Ferrovia and cv Lapins, grafted on Gisela 6 (Prunus cerasus × Prunus canescens) rootstock, were studied in the southern fruit tree area of the Republic of Moldova at distances of 5x1,5 m; 5x2,0 m; 5x2,5 m. The trees were led after the Natural reduced-volume crown and Slender Spindle Ameliorated form.The cherry trees start to fructify in the fourth year after planting; the largest total fruit production from the tree was obtained in the variant with planted trees at distance of 5x2,5 m, and per hectare, when the trees were planted at a distance of 5x1,5 m. In the fourth year of fructification, the production of cv Ferrovia cherry, where the trees were conducted after the Natural reduced-volume crown yield 15368-18155 kg/ha, and at the time the Slender Spindle Ameliorated form, was 16904 - 20074 kg/ha. Although the results are preliminary, it seems that high-density planting systems combined with low-power vegetal rootstocks and improved crowns can give higher yields of cherries in the first 4 years than the traditional crown system with low volume.
