N2  - The present study was conducted in Şemdinli town of Hakkari province in2013-2014. The pomological and chemical characteristics of hawthorn (Crataegus spp.)  fruits with different colorswere investigated. Fruit samples were taken from 39 hawthorn trees selectedfrom the villages of Şemdinli.  Inpomological analyses, fruit weight, fruit height, fruit width, number of seeds,seed weight and flesh ratio were determined. In chemical analyses, solublesolids content, pH, titratable acidity and sugar contents were determined. Theevaluated accessions had average fruit weights of between 2.16-4.89g and fleshratios of between 77.86-85.99%. Of the investigated genotypes, 16 wereidentified as promising genotypes. The greatest fruit weight was observed inyellow A-4 genotype with 4.89 g and the least fruit weight was observed in redL-9 genotype with 2.16 g. While glucose and sucrose were the dominant sugars inyellow hawthorn fruits, glucose and fructose were dominant in black and redhawthorn fruits. Of 16 promising hawthorn accessions, 7 had “yellow” skincolor, 5 had “red”, 3 had “black” and 1 had “white” skin color.  Current findings provide quite significantoutcomes for further breeding studies.
