In recent years, increasing numbers of cherries have been planted in Shiga Prefecture. We cultivated cherry trees using root zone limitation and Y-shaped training and determined the optimum primary scaffold branch crotch angle, rootstock and variety. 1) A primary scaffold branch crotch angle of 120 degrees was [the most] suitable for cultivation of the variety "Satounishiki" with root zone limitation and Y-shaped traini because this angle produced the largest number of shoots. 2) "Super 6" proved to be [the most suitable][suitable as a] rootstock for "Satounishi because it produced higher yields and higher sugar content. 3) As for variety, "Koukanishiki" was [the most] suitable for cultivation with root zo limitation and Y-shaped training because it produced an annual yield of up to 810 kg per 1,000 square m on 6-year-old trees.
