Abstract :In every province of Turkey more or less fruit species and varieties are grown. One of the most important factors limiting the fruit growing of Kars province of Eastern Turkey. Four fruit species are grown in Kars  and their name are walnut, apple, plum and apricot. Considering the total fruit production of Kars districts, Kağızman and Sarıkamış are  6.841 and 1.085  tons of fruit productions, respectively. No fruit production has the other districts. One of the most important reasons for not cultivating fruit species and varieties in the other districts of Kars province is the ecological conditions called climate and soil properties. In this study, through presenting the existing status of the fruit production potential of Kars province, it was aimed to increase the awareness and set light to decision makers.
