Sažetak
'Creska' sweet cherry is local variety of sweet cherry traditionally produced in the island of Cres, in the region of northern Adriatic. The variety is known by high quality and firm fruits, good aroma and size. It is preferred by farmers due to high price and high income that are among their first seasonal income, already in the first half of June. The fruits of 'Creska' are also preferred by consumers and, due to its uniqueness and ''local'' image, its marketing has a potential in an offer within touristic market, in the beginning of touristic season. However, there are few scientific data on this variety, and there were no evaluations of their quality and performance in comparison to other well-known varieties. Recently, the evaluation was done during two subsequent years. ‘Creska’ sweet cherry was evaluated in commercial orchard, where the plants were growing in completely randomized design, and compared with 'Bing', 'Sue', and 'Stella'. The rootstock used was Prunus mahaleb, vegetatively propagated and traditionally used in the system of production typical for this area. The goal of this research was to give a basic pomological description of 'Creska' sweet cherry, based on the following parameters: length, wideness and thickness of the cherry fruit, the length of its stem, its weight and randman. We are also giving some conclusions on ethno-agricultural facts and economic value of the production of ‘Creska’ in the island of Cres. Given results show that 'Creska' have excellent potential for production, and it is at least as good as standard varieties, including the heritage value important for local producers and touristic sector in north Adriatic region.
