A long tradition of fruit farming in Serbia is a significant part of a nation’s
heritage, it’s traditions and customs. The gene pool of the numerous traditional
varieties of apples (Malus sulvestris L.), pears (Pyrus communis L.) and plums
(Prunus domestica L.), is under a threat of irreversible disappearance, due to
introduction of new commercial varieties. Ethnobotanical research was carried out in
central, east and southwest Serbia. There are great diversity of apple varieties in
central and southeast Serbia: Kolačara, Đula, Šumatovka, Senabija, Tetovka,
Timočanka, Zelenika. Over 40 pear varieties still remained in central and southwest
Serbia: Vidovača, Ječmenjača, Lubeničarka, Medunak, Takiša, Karamanka, Lončara,
Jeribasma. The plum varieties have also great diversity in central Serbia: Bardaklija,
Moravka, Piskavac, Crnošljiva, Belošljiva, Ranka. The fruits are used predominantly
as a food, consumed as fresh, or processed into traditional products (juice, jam,
brandy, slatko, as dried fruit). They are also used in ethnomedicine, as a remedy
against some diseases (hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, constipation, body
mass reduction). It is of the greatest importance to protect the gene pool of traditional
varieties by conservation methods in situ and ex situ, as well as by raising awareness
among local populations, and by employing government aid.
