Sažetak
The aim of this work is to analyse pomological and physiological characteristics of several lemons grown in various location in Dalmatia. Two of them have been determined as cvs. 'Meyer' and 'Lisbon' ; other six lemon trees are either probably their seedlings or vegetative propagated progenies with possible mutations that are common in Citrus. Each of studied trees have reached maximum cropping capacity and yielded well in 2013. The trees have not shown any physiological or nutrition disorders. The results shown that Dalmatian lemons grown in private gardens, have satisfactory yielding potential and favourable fruit weight (91.7- 200.6 g), total soluble solids (TSS) (7.9-9.08% Brix), and TSS/TA ratio (1.41-2.25). However, only the cv. ‘Meyer’ and one phenotype similar to him had high juice content (39.5 %)which is above the worldwide established minimum standard juice content for lemon fruit (33.0 %). Fruitfrom all other phenotypes, including one recognised as cv. ‘Lisbon’, had lower juice content which ranged between 28.1 % and 32.7 %.It can be concluded that lemons grown in private gardens of Dalmatia have multifunctional purpose (i.e. sustainable fruit source, ornamental and landscape value). Therefore, its growing should be encouraged. The another important fact is that there is whole population of high and diverse genetic potential which remained unrecognized so far and should be used for breeding.
