Libor Dokoupil
The objective of the study was to record the incidence of old varieties of pome fruit in some localities and to evaluate their growth properties and health status; at the same time to evaluate the endangered and oldest apple and pear trees. Samples were taken continuously and after short storage sensory evaluations were carried out. The focus was on fruit tree orchards, home fruit gardens, farmsteads, alleys, trees along roads and field orchards in cadastres of some communities of the Lomnice, Tišnov and Nedvědice regions. We recorded the growth parameters – volume of crown, diameter of the tree trunk, data of the health status and our own classification and pomological description of the variety. The apple variety ‘Velník’ reached an age of 200 years in Křížovice; the variety ‘Kanefl’ in Křížovice 150 years. Old pear varieties on seedy rootstocks reach a high age. The age of the pear variety ‘Václavka’ in Zvole was over 200 years and of the variety ‘Neznámka’ in Žernůvka it was 195 years.
