Turkey, as a country possessing different climates and lying in a passageway between the two rich gene centers, the Caucasian and the Mediterranean, bears many fruit species. Among them, some of the fruits known as underutilized fruit crops in other countries like the fig (Ficus carica) and the pomegranate (Punica granatum) have been traditionally produced and consumed for centuries. On the other hand, the production of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) and Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki), which were introduced later, show an increasing trend. The Barbary fig (Opuntia ficus-indica) still remains to be a wild species.
