Pistachio is one of the important export products of Turkey and is mostly cultivated in the southeast region although different Pistacia spp. are distributed in the other regions, for instance the Yunt Mountain in Manisa province. They are grafted where they grow. To prevent probable cultivar disorders at grafting, varieties description is important so, the current study was started. A pomological evaluation was carried out according to the pistachio and Pistacia spp. descriptors (IPGRI-International Plant Genetic Resources Institute) for cultivars and species, respectively. Nut and kernel characteristics were evaluated (hull dehiscence, consistency, tip, colour and colour homogenity; the length, width, thickness and shape of nut; shell apex, pedicel scar shape, suture elevation, split nut, suture opening, blank production, 100-nut weight, number of nuts in 100 g, 100 kernel weight, kernel dry weight per nut dry weight x 100, and kernel length, width and thickness). Differences were found in Kirmizi and Uzun cultigens
