Abstract
Caper (Capparis spinosa L.) is a crawling and spiny Mediterranean shrub that thrives well in arid and semiarid climates, which makes it an interesting crop alternative in Southeastern Spain.
A preliminary characterisation of 61 caper clones (plants as well as fruit) was performed under homogeneous growing conditions.
For yielding purposes, nine clones performed outstandingly; CS 5 yielded the highest flower bud average weight.
Regarding fruit quality, clone CS 45 showed the highest premium caper percentage.
