The study was conducted in four sites belonging to the Sheikh Badr district in Tartous
province. Ten different types were identified according to international standards. During
the 2016 and 2017 growth seasons, readings were recorded for phenotypi
c parameters as
well as physical and chemical analysis of fruit clusters. The studied types differed in many
characteristics. The results of the cluster analysis showed the distribution of the studied
types in two groups with a variance of 93%. The mean weight of the cluster varied
between the medium (349 g) and the large (1140.45 g). The ratio of total dissolved solids
(TSS) between the low (12.75%) and high (18.82%). the acidity between the very low
(3.53 g/l) and medium (6.38 g/l).
