Abstract: In order to learn fruit characteristics of Malus domestica‘Honeycrisp’, Malus domestica‘Gale Gala’and Malus domestica‘Huashuo’in Yili River Valley, the fruit quality and nutrient components of the 3 apple species were determined and analyzed. The results showed that the average fruit mass was 190-280 g and fruit shape index was 0.81-0.89. The three species had fruit shape correctly and belonged to the big fruit apple species. The fruit firmness of Malus domestica‘Gale Gala’was as high as 11.7 kg/cm2, and the fruit had hard texture. The fruit firmness of Malus domestica‘Huashuo’was 8.8 kg/cm2. The fruit firmness of Malus domestica‘Honeycrisp’fruit firmness was 8.1 kg/cm2, and the fruit was tasted sour and crispy. The soluble solids content of the three species was 13.6%-16.4%, higher than that of the‘Fuji’and‘Gala’generally. Malus domestica‘Huashuo’had the highest ratio of soluble solids content to acid (6.07/1), the second was Malus domestica‘Honeycrisp’(4.08/1), and the lowest was Malus domestica‘Gale Gala’(2.80/1). Malus domestica‘Huashuo’tasted sweeter and Malus domestica‘Gale Gala’tasted sourer. Malus domestica ‘Honeycrisp’tasted sour, crispy and delicious by comparison. The hydrolysis of reducing sugar content was 10.8%-13.2%, reducing sugar content was 7.0%-8.4%. The content of Vc was 2.53-2.90 mg/100 g. The distribution trend for 8 mineral elements in three apple species was consistent. The order of mineral element
