Abstract

The area of Žepče has had a long tradition of fruit growing, which especially prove the plots rich in old, often inherited, but preserved trees. We talk about domestic autochthonous varieties, domesticated varieties, old varieties of mostly unknown origin, brought over, or even their types, but they are best differentiated by their local names. This paper describes seven autochthonous apple varieties: Petrovnjača, Sisa, Torulja, Zvečarka, Kanjuška, Kožara and Kraljica. A pomological analysis has been done in details using descriptive points and other significant parameters (weight, shape, color of epidermis, stalk and calyx concavity, color of meat and seed). Sisa variety has the smallest fruits (71.04 g) and Torulja variety has very large fruits (284.9 g).
Fruits are juicy to middle juicy with expressed pleasant aroma and some of the fruits have expressed odor. Fruits of Kanjuška variety are highly aromatic and have the most intensive odor among all varieties.
