An overview of 'Maraska' and 'Oblačinska' sour cherries

o višnjama! 'Maraska' and 'Oblačinska' are the most important varieties of sour cherries in Croatia. 'Maraska' is leading variety in Mediterranean part of Croatia, highly adaptable to climatic conditions and specific skeletal soil characteristics in Dalmatia. 'Oblačinska' is leading variety in northern, Pannonian region. It is highly yielding variety, adaptable for continental climate. Both varieties are clonal populations with significant morphological diversity detectable on molecular level. It suggests that these populations may be a pool for clonal selection and their genetic improvement. However, molecular genetic analyses also revealed high genetic similarity between the two varieties, in spite of visible morphological differences. Both varieties have important use in processing. 'Oblačinska' is used for juices and conditory industry and 'Maraska' for production of famous liquer 'Maraschino', among the other products. This presentation will show the literature overview of these two varieties, assess the current state of production and predict the prospects for the future.
