data obtained from 45 growers, who grow apple trees on more than 3 thousand hectares, equal approximately to a half of total their surface registered in the Czech Republic, were included into this study. In total data concerning 19 cultivars commercially important in aplle orchards of the country were used. Golden Delicious cv. was the most suitable for growing in the warmest areas. Cultivar Gala obtained the top levels in climatic areas up to 400 m a.sl. also Gloster cv. wae relatively well classified both in the warm and medium altitudes. In the medium altitudes themselves Topas and Jonagold were very well assessed. Cultivars Angold, Sampion, Bohemia and Rubin were the best ranked in colder regions of the country. Idared cv. up to now generally largely widespread one in the country, is considered by its growers as less efficient. Considerable raising of M 9 rootstock share is a historical trend as in younger orchards it is higher than a half of total acreage. A density of the plantings at the same time is permanently increasing and in the latest period tha space area is less than 7 square m per one tree.
