Sažetak
Due to their nutritive and therapeutic values as well as their decorative attributes, the usage of species from the genus Sorbus s.l. is well known in folk tradition long since. According to the most recent taxonomic revision that divides this complex genus into more genera, in Croatian flora, Sorbus s.l. is represented with at least seven native taxa and another six that are deficiently known and whose presence should be further confirmed. In Croatia, only a few taxa are, though not frequently, used as ornamental plants while the usage of Sorbus s.l. as a wild edible fruit species is generally rather sparse. In Croatia, Sorbus s.l. is distributed in different geographical and climate regions (mountainous, lowland and Mediterranean) and grows under various environmental conditions. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of species of genus Sorbus s.l. present in Croatia with their utilization values as wild edible fruit species and ornamental plants, together with their environmental requirements, resistance to urban conditions and pests as well as to address possible problems in their cultivation and seek for their capacity for selection and plant breeding. Moreover, the aim of this paper is also to promote the use of native and as quality and multifunctional species applicable for use in landscaping and for fruit cultivation.
