%X The quality of the eight local apple cultivars (¡®Alvanija¡¯, ¡®Kardinal¡¯, ¡®Kri ara¡¯, ¡®Majdofija¡¯, ¡®Mu katnica¡¯, ¡®Slastica¡¯, ¡®Slatka sr ika¡¯ and ¡®Punika¡¯) was studied. Cultivar ¡®Kardinal¡¯ had the highest fruit mass, and the cultivar ¡®Slastica¡¯ had the lowest. There was no significant difference in fruit mass between the cultivars ¡®Kardinal¡¯ and ¡®Majdofi ja¡¯. Cultivar ¡®Alvanija¡¯ had the highest fruit height and cultivar ¡®Kri ara¡¯ had the smallest. Cultivar ¡®Kardinal¡¯ had the widest fruits, and cultivar ¡®Kri ara¡¯ had the narrowest. Cultivar ¡®Alvanija¡¯ had the highest shape index, and cultivars ¡®Kri ara¡¯ and ¡®Majdofija¡¯ had the lowest. The highest firmness had cultivars ¡®Majdofija¡¯ and ¡®Slastica¡¯, between which there was no statistically significant difference. Cultivars ¡®Kardinal¡¯, ¡®Kri ara¡¯ and ¡®Punika¡¯ had significantly lower fruit firmness but still significantly higher than cultivar ¡®Mu katnica¡¯. Cultivar ¡®Slastica¡¯ had the highest soluble solids content, and cultivar ¡®Kri ara¡¯ had the lowest. Cultivar ¡®Kri ara¡¯ received significantly lower panelist score for crispness, texture and juiciness than cultivar ¡®Majdofija¡¯.Cultivars ¡®Kardinal¡¯ and ¡®Majdofi ja¡¯ received better scores for taste attributes than other cultivars. Panelist scores for fruit shape and general impression were the highest for the cultivars ¡®Kardinal¡¯ and ¡®Madofija¡¯. There was no significant difference in panelist scores for fruit size between these cultivars and cultivars ¡®Alvanija¡¯ and ¡®Kri ara¡¯. It was concluded that the most promising cultivars are ¡®Majdofija¡¯ and ¡®Kardinal¡¯.However, to fully evaluate their potential, comparison with other cultivars in the standard growing conditions during long-term research is needed.
