Abstract

Production of carub in Croatia has very long tradition, however throughout history of breeding, it did not have a place that it deserves, considering the quality and use of its fruits. The lack of knowledge of domestic assortment is especially troubling. With the goal of evaluating and furthering this culture, we started the project of carob selection from natural population of the Island of Vis. According to enclosed research methodology we selected two phenotypes, which we described from phenological, morphological, pomological and agricultural aspect. Research results show that there is a great variability in characteristics of natural populations.
