Botanički vrh j.d.o.o

Description

We specialize in the production and sale of fruit seedlings, Mediterranean trees, and ornamental plants, with a focus on producing autochthonous species such as tansy, caper, jujube, Budrovka lavender, rosemary, and several varieties of domestic rosehip, including the 'Žrnovska apple'… Domestic varieties compete with imported ones as they are adapted to this climate, making them more suitable for cultivation and maintenance compared to imports. The market has recognized this, as imported seedlings struggle to adapt and survive in this area due to both climate and soil composition, requiring more care and nutrition.

Our company, with its expert team, provides consulting services as well as garden, plantation, and family farm (OPG) design and maintenance services, in collaboration with experts from the Institute for Adriatic Cultures and Karst Improvement in Split and other professional staff.

With fifteen years of experience in this field, as a seedling producer and sales manager at Vibor d.o.o., I have achieved significant results through my dedication—receiving the Golden Kuna award from the Croatian Chamber of Economy for the seedling production project and the revitalization of tansy and caper cultivation, unique and autochthonous Dalmatian ecological products for which I am the creator and implementer. Additionally, as a long-standing exhibitor of seedlings at the international olive growers' event 'Maslina Split,' we have received recognition for advancing Croatian olive growing and preserving and promoting original old olive varieties.

One of the most important projects I would highlight is the production of the 'Žrnovska apple,' where scientists from the Institute for Adriatic Cultures and Karst Improvement discovered through extensive research that this apple variety is more resistant to diseases than commercial apples, which require multiple protective treatments per season. This makes it suitable for organic cultivation, as it better withstands drier periods, is more durable, and can be stored longer. Most importantly, it contains up to 40% more polyphenols and flavonoids than other varieties grown here, making it a true health bomb and significant in the diet of the population and the tourist offer.
