Turkey is one of the main genetic origins of figs (Ficus ssp.). The study was carried out to determine the phenotypic variation of fig genotypes grown in Tarsus, Mersin, in the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. In the study, 24 female fig genotypes selected from Tarsus were investigated based on plant and fruit quality characteristics. Only Haziran İnciri ripened the breba (first) crop and the other genotypes ripened the main crop. The fruit weight of the fig genotypes ranged between 22.37 g and 90.16 g, total soluble solids content (TSS) ranged between 12.6 and 25.0% and TSS/acidity ranged between 29.2 and 161.5. From the plant and fruit characteristics, 26 out of 45 attributes were determined to be more appropriate in the identification and discrimination of the fig genotypes in the research area. Siyah İncir6, Bardak1, Sarı İncir1 and Siyah İncir3 genotypes were the highest in overall quality parameters. The results showed that the measured plant and fruit characteristics of the fig genotypes have significant phenotypic variations.
