Apples are a moderate climate fruit that is cultivated in different ecologies and in a fairly wide area. However, for a variety of recommendations appropriate to the ecology to be made in cultivation, the study of the performance in that ecology is of great importance. The study was conducted in the years 2012-2013, with the aim of determining the performance of the World Gala, Fuji and Scarlet Spur apples that have grown in the Mediterranean pass and mature in different periods. In the study, some phenological characteristics of varieties have been studied in the performance and fruit quality characteristics. According to the findings, full flowering in varieties took place between April 11 (Mondial Gala) and April 25 (Fuji) and fruit maturity between August 11 (Mondial Gala) and October 5 (Fuji). The fruit weight of the varieties is 137.50 g (Scarlet Spur) - 217. 30 g (Fuji), the fruit length varied between 61.65 mm (Mondial Gala) - 71.03 mm (Scarlet Spur) and the fruit diameter 66.57 mm (Scarlet Spur) - 80.67 mm (Fuji). The amount of water-soluble dry substance in apple varieties is 13.50 % (Scarlet Spur) - 15.17 % (Mondial Gala), the amount of vibrable acid is 0.23 % (Scarlet Spur) - 0.40 % (Fuji), the reduced sugar range is 8.93 % (Scarlet Spur) - 10.17 % (Fuji), the total sugar level is 12.08 % (Scarlet Spur) - 13.87 % (Fuji) and the total phenol content is 113.40 mg/100 g (Scarlet Spur) - 148.40 mg/100 g (Fuji). On the other hand, the yield per tree in apple varieties varied from 4.92 (Scarlet Spur) to 9.32 kg/tree (Fuji) and 0.28 (Scarlet Spur) to 0.66 kg/cm2 (Mondial Gala) in unit body cutting area. In terms of the summer season, the Mondial Gala, in terms of the early season, the Scarlet Spur and in terms of the summer season, the Fuji variety is expected to contribute to the producers in terms of the supply of product diversity in the region.
