Quince is an old fruit species that is rarely cultivated in Croatia. Due to its the late vegetation, it is mostly unaffected by frosts and tolerates winter conditions well. There are a small number of varieties, and the most commonly cultivated are Leskovačka, Vranjska, Berecki and Champion. The fruit of the quince is large and can be processed into many products such as jam, compote, juice, brandy, etc., but the fruit itself is not competitive with other fruit types and is therefore not cultivated to such an extent. It is recommended to cultivate it in the form of a modified spindly bush and on MA, BA29, R3 and P5 rootstocks due to good growth at the graft site. Due to its physiological characteristics, it is very suitable for cultivation because it is quite resistant to pests and diseases. Most of the diseases and pests that attack quinces also appear on other fruit species. Monilia (Monilia linhartiana) is a disease that is characteristic of quince and manifests itself in the form of burning and rotting. There are few quince orchards there, and some tree can be found in family gardens where quinces are planted due to tradition.
