Cornelian cherry is a very important species in terms of its rich nutritional content and medicinal properties. This study was carried out to select genotypes with superior/different characteristics in the cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L., Corneceae) population in the natural flora of Sav (Isparta) region. Among the 42 cornelian cherry genotypes evaluated by pre-selection, the findings of 15 genotypes whose differences were determined by cluster analysis for 14 quantitative characteristics of fruit were presented. In cornelian cherry genotypes, it was observed that the bud burst dates were between 11-26 February, the beginning of blooming was between 17 February and 6 March, full blooming was between 5-19 March and end of bloom was between 17 March and 13 April. The period from full bloom to harvest varied between 170 and 185 days in cornelian cherry trees whose harvest period was between August and September. Among the evaluated cornelian cherry population, SAV 37 had the largest fruit with an average fruit weight of 4.81 g, fruit width of 16.99 mm and fruit length of 22.67 mm, while SAV 29 genotype had the minimum values. The SSC values was between 8.90% (SAV 41) and 16.83% (SAV 25), TA % was between 1.83% (SAV 41) and 3.47% (SAV 9) and pH was between 3.12 (SAV 26) and 3.32 (SAV 41). The L* of fruit skin color was determined between 25.91 (SAV 25) and 36.80 (SAV 27), a* between 24.54 (SAV 25) and 41.00 (SAV 22), and b* between 11.27 (SAV 25) and 27.75 (SAV 26). The vitamin C of cornelian cherry fruit ranged from 1.20 mg 100 g-1 (SAV 38) to 79.40 mg 100 g-1 (SAV 37). Among the cornelian cherry genotypes, SAV 37 was evaluated as the superior genotype for both biodiversity and parental characteristics in terms of pomological characteristics such as fruit weight and fruit size.
