With good fruit characteristics, ‘Siirt’ is an important pistachio cultivar of Turkey. The harvest season of this cultivar usually is from early September to late September. The study was conducted in central Siirt province, origin of the cultivar ‘Siirt’, (the Southeastern Anatolia Region) during 1998 and 2000. This study determines the phenotypic differences related to nut and yield characteristics within the cultivar ‘Siirt’. The data from nineteen selections grafted onto P. khinjukand eleven selections grafted onto P. terebinthuswere evaluated. The tree characteristics were determined for three years and nut characteristics were recorded for two years. The selections on P. khinjukshowed a range of 0.52-6.80 kg for yield per tree, 11.9-67.1 g/cm 2for yield efficiency, 103-118 g for dehulled nut weight, 50.7-59.4 g for kernel weight and 66-93% for split nuts. In addition, selections on P. terebinthushad a range of 0.70-2.84 kg for yield per tree, 7.5-29.1 g/cm 2for yield efficiency, 98-130 g for dehulled nut weight, 53.4-60.6 g for kernel weight and 71-91% for split nuts.
