Sažetak
The Croatian Forest Research Institute (CFRI) has been involved in projects for the preservation of the gene pool of protected and significant trees in Croatia for more than 10 years. The importance of this projects has been recognized by numerous public institutions, local governments and nature conservation associations that want to preserve the genetic material of significant trees for future generations. In Croatia, there are numerous trees that have the historical, cultural and aesthetic value of a particular area, and some of them are on the list of protected trees. CFRI employees perform professional work related to the production of clonal material, which includes: root-stocks production (plants on which scions are grafted), scions collection (twigs from the mother tree), vegetative propagation (grafting of vegetative material on prepared root-stocks) in the greenhouse and the cultivation, schooling, care and protection of plants in the institute’s nursery. These procedures lead to the creation of genetically identical “new trees”, which allows the permanent retention of old, original trees in the localities of individual cultural assets.
