Krymsk 5 similar size to GiSelA 6 (90% of F12/1); more precocious than GiSelA series; less flower density reduces thinning and other characteristics; extremely sensitive to viruses; flower density between GiSelA 5 and Maxma 14.

Krymsk 5 and 6 are dwarfing and precocious; more precocious than Mahaleb, Mazzard and Colt; well spaced buds on 2 year old wood; very virus sensitive (if infected within 2 years, trees will die); Krymsk 6 is very similar to GiSelA12 for vigour and precocity; Krymsk 5 is slightly more vigourous than GiSelA 6; less flower buds, tougher plant than G6, very grower friendly; the weakness of the GiSelA series is overcropping, heat or overwatering; K5 and K6 handle this better with better root systems.
