Abstract
A new almond breeding program was started in Turkey in 2009. The objectives of this program were aimed to obtain late flowering and self-compatible almond genotypes, crossing local and foreign cultivars. Lauranne, Guara and Moncayo were crossed with Gulcan 1, Gulcan 2 and Nurlu cultivars. 1,686 seedlings with the Sf allele were obtained from crosses, and they were planted in the Pistachio Research Station, at 2 x 1 m distances, in winter 2011. Trunk diameter and leafing time of the seedlings were recorded one year after planting, to estimate the vigour and flowering time.
Important differences were found between the families.
