Title: Stone Fruit Cultivars and Breeding in Hungary
Authors: Z. Szabo, F. Nyujto, J. Apostol, and E. Apostol
Abstract:
Selection of stone fruits has a long tradition in
Hungary.
The proportion of Hungarian cultivars
is high among cherries and apricots.
The local
selection and controlled hybridization of sweet
cherry, tart cherry and apricot have improved
dramatically the cultivar choice for the last two
decades.
The wide choice of Hungarian local
cultivars and hybrids is a considerable source of
breeding not only in Hungary but in other
countries as well.
The characteristics of the best
selections are summarized.
Testing and evaluating of foreign peaches,
nectarines and plums is necessary.
Starting of
their controlled hybridization is important in
order to realize cultivars most adaptable to the
Hungarian environmental conditions and most
suitable to the market.
