Özet: In this research, it was aimed to determine pomological properties of local pomegranate genotypes which are naturally grown in Artuklu and Kızıltepe districts of Mardin province and adapted to the local climate and have high quality characteristics.  In the study, 18 genotypes were studied. At the end of the study, fruit weight ranged from 207,3 g to 689,5 g, fruit lenght ranged from 65 mm to 95,8 mm, fruit width ranged from 72,8 mm to 108 mm, calyx heights ranged from 12,1 mm to 17,9 mm, calyx half-diameter ranged from 9,15 mm to 22,5 mm, total seed weight ranged between 84-400 g, 100 seed weight ranged between 25,3-49,4 g, grain yields ranged from 40,5% to 78,4%, fruit juice volume ranged between 78-296 ml were identified. In addition, total soluble solids (TSS) contents ranged from 15% to 18%, amount of titrable acidity ranged from 0,06%  to 0,69% and pH ranged from 2,38% to 3,49% were determined. Moreover these genotypes were observed with regard to the bottom fruit peel color, upper fruit peel color, seed hardness, fruit taste, aril color, chamber number, chamber appearance, easiness of aril separating and fruit pulp weight properties. According to the weighted grading method, six genotypes showed superiority and found to be promising.
