Where fruit grows in Turkey
Türkiye's fruit districts sit on the Anatolian plateau and around the inland lakes, at altitudes that give cold, dry winters. Isparta and Eğirdir are apple country, Amasya lends its name to an old apple variety, and chill is rarely the limiting factor at these elevations.
Across these locations the ten-season average runs from 602 chill hours at Erzincan, Erzincan, to 1466 at Isparta, Isparta. 45°F Hours and Utah are counted over 1 November – 28 February.
