Almond is a type of fruit that grows both economically and naturally
in many regions of Turkey. In this study, leaf and fruit characteristics
of 3 different almond varieties of foreign origin grown in Ürgüp
district of Nevşehir province in the Cappadocia region in 2021 and
2022 were determined. Ferragnes variety with a value of 23.47 mm
in terms of leaf width, Ferragnes variety with a value of 67.9 mm in
leaf length, and Ferraduel variety with a value of 13.62 in terms of
petiole length formed the highest values in the leaf characteristics
examined. Considering the fruit data, it was determined that
Ferragnes variety had the highest value in terms of fruit length with
40.62 mm, Ferragnes variety had the highest value in fruit width
values with 23.99 mm, and Ferragnes variety had the highest value in
terms of fruit weight with 6.24 g. When the kernel weight data were
examined, the highest value was found in Ferragnes variety with 1.61
g, and when the kernel width and kernel length data were examined,
the highest values were determined in Ferragnes variety with 14.55
mm and 27.70 mm, respectively. The results of the study are thought
to be important in terms of shedding light on future studies,
especially since limited studies have been carried out in this region.
