'Colt' Cherry Rootstock: Bred at East Malling Research Station (Kent, UK) from an interspecific cross between sweet cherry (Prunus avium, diploid, $2n = 2x = 16$) and wild Chinese sour cherry (Prunus pseudocerasus, tetraploid, $2n = 4x = 32$).
Ploidy Status: Because it combines a diploid gamete ($n = x = 8$) and a tetraploid gamete ($n = 2x = 16$), 'Colt' is a sterile triploid ($2n = 3x = 24$).
Characteristics: Readily propagated by leafy and hardwood cuttings; provides excellent tree anchorage, semi-dwarfing vigor, and resistance to bacterial canker.
Correct Option: Option 2 (Triploid).
