Sažetak
There are some 30 olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars in Croatia that are supposed to be autochthonous. Cultivar ‘Oblica’ predominates and represents some 75% of olive genfund in Croatia. It is the only cultivar that is spread in all olive growing regions. A number of cultivars are of significant local importance, while the others can rarely be found in productive orchards. Several morphological characteristics of autochthonous cultivars that can be found in Croatian productive orchards were compared in this research. Among them cultivar ‘Duzica’ is the only distinctly table cultivar. Cultivars ‘Oblica’, ‘Simjaca’ and ‘Buharica’ have dual purpose, while the others (cultivars ‘Levantinka’, ‘Lastovka’, ‘Drobnica’, ‘Buza’, ‘Istarska bjelica’, ‘Zutica’, ‘Mezanica’ and ‘Karbuncela’) are used mostly for oil production. Tree characteristics were described, and inflorescence, leaf, fruit and stone samples were collected from the orchards situated all along the Adriatic coast, from Istra region in the north to Dubrovnik area in the south of Croatia. Obtained results indicate that there are significant differences among the cultivars within the observed characteristics.
