SUMMARYThe paper was written based on a study conducted in a nursery in the north of Montenegro during three successive years. The study had helped author of this paper to examine the possibility of producing one-year old seedlings of commercial medlar cultivars (Mespilus germanica L.) grafted on quince Ba 29 and wild pear generative rootstocks (Pyrus communis L.) during the first year after bud grafting. The aim of this study is to determine morphological characteristics, compatibility of commercial medlar seedling cultivars (Domestic medlar, Pomoravka -seedless medlar genotype, Royal medlar, Medlar without seeds) with the quince Ba 29 and wild pear generative rootstocks and water attaining capability of the leaves in one-year old seedlings of commercial medlar cultivars.The results of this study also showed that the water attaining capability of the leaves in one-year old seedlings of commercial medlar cultivars (Mespilus germanica L.) as an indicator of their resistance to drought was genetic characteristics of the cultivars.
