This study was carried out during the years between 2002 and 2006. The aim of this tudy was to determine the phenological, pomological characteristics and yielding status performance of three foreign almond cultivars (Texas, Nonpareil and Drake) in Dörtyol (Hatay), Turkey, which has a Mediterranean climate. Drake was found to be the latest flowering cultivar, while Nonpareil and Texas were the earliest flowering. In these cultivars, the nut shell weights varied in the range 1.70-2.42 g, kernel weights in the range 0.81-1.04 g, the percentage of kernel in the range 43.58-48.44%, the shell thickness in the range 1.57-2.50 mm and the double kernel ratio in the range 3.9-6.0% were determined. Average over five years the highest yields per tree were 2.53 kg in Nonpareil and 2.21 kg in Drake.
