Fruit quality of sweet cherry 'Lovranska'

Sweet cherry 'Lovranska' is a local cultivar with very good quality and perspective. The aim of this research was to examine the relation between different quality parameters of sweet cherry fruits, from four localities in its typical growing area (Lovran). Total soluble solids (TSS), colour (CIE Lab method), weight, width, thickness and height of the fruits, and stalk length were measured. Average concentrations of sample for total soluble solids varied depending on location in range from 13, 5 to 15, 2  Brix. On three locations, fruits with the higher amount of TSS had the lower value of fruit skin luminescence (L). Fruit weight was not directly correlated with the colour, but it had connection with measured size of the fruit size.
