Almond is a valuable nut crop grown in temperate and subtropical regions. An almond tree is compatibility with many different climates and soil types and is cultivated in many of world and Iranian regions. Isfahan is a major production regions of including almonds.Almond is an indigenous Iranian tree, therefore22 species in the country had been recognized. Almond is a cross-pollinated cropand due to seed propagated in the past many almondsvarieties and genotypes can be found in cultivated areas. Identify and study the characteristic of genotype and preservation of them is require for optimal utilization and the potential of deferent genotype is required. Morphological and pomological varieties of 10 almonds local varieties namely: Ali-Akbar-Rabi, Mamaey, Sephid,Monaga,Tagery, kababi, Shamshery, Yarolhy,Badammjnon,andkhorshidywere studied in randomized complete block design with three replications in an almond orchard of Nhzatabad city of Najaf Abad for one year. A plot number 3 trees per replicate and a total of 9 tree for each cultivar with similar age and uniform fruiting condition and were randomly selected and vegetative and reproductive properties of quality and quantity of fruit on the trees were eva‎luate. The reproductive traits (flowering initiation, flowering, number of flowers and fruit on the branch, fruit set, and ripening date) and the yield(tree yield, total yield, fruit size, weight 100 nut, nut percent), in each of the varieties of almonds was recorded. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and the means were compared according to Duncan multiple range test. All traits except number of flower and fruits of dried fruits, dried fruits and other traits were significant at 0.05 or 0.01 levels. The mean comparison using Duncan test were significant differentand cultivars were separated into different groups. The results of field studies and analysis of variance and mean comparison showed that among the almond cultivars Ali-Akbar-Rabi showed the highest and Do-Bahreh and Sephid the lowest rate of growth, respectively.With respect to flowering Sephid andMonaga cultivar were classified as early flowering others cultivars were average. The highest percentages of fruit set wereobserved in Mamaeyand the lowest in Shamsheryhad the higestandkababi, Mamaey, Khorshidy, Rabi and Tagerylowest yield. The maximum ratio of kernel to shellwas53.3 percent in Sephidand theminimom ratio inKababi cultivar.Each of almond cultivars was unique and their potential and capabilities are great. The Mamaei, Tajeri, Rabi, Sephid, Khorshidyand,Monagain terms of growth, yield and product quality in terms of vegetative, and marketable yield are among suitable cultivars and is recommended for establishment of commercial almond orchard.
