In this study, the nut characteristics of Ferragnes, Ferraduel, and Bertina cultivars grafted onto Nemaguard rootstock were examined. According to the two-year data obtained, full bloom was observed to occur in the third week of April for the Ferragnes cultivar and in the second week of April for the Ferraduel and Bertina varieties. In terms of nut quality traits, the shell thickness of Ferragnes, Ferraduel, and Bertina almond varieties was determined as 24.73 mm, 24.58 mm, and 24,42 mm, respectively; shell width as 31.49 mm, 31.83 mm, and 35.55 mm; shell height as 37.89 mm, 46.62 mm, and 51.27 mm; shell weight as 3.59 g, 5.07 g, and 11.65 g; and kernel weight as 1.27 g, 1.20 g, and 2.90 g. Kernel ratios were identified as 35.17%, 28.37%, and 25.09%, respectively.}, number={1}, publisher={Meyvecilik Araştırma Enstitüsü}
