In olive cultivation, fruit size is important especially when it is evaluated in terms of table. However, producers want both yield and quality to be high. In this case, it will be advantageous for the existing varieties to be both self and mutually compatible in order to increase yield in the garden. The study was carried out using Domat, Gemlik and Yellow Ulak olive cultivars. Free, self and foreign pollination treatments were applied for each variety. It was assumed that the mutual pollination of these varieties was high and their pomological characteristics were aimed to be revealed in this study. According to the results of the study; it was determined that free pollination increased fruit characteristics and the use of different pollinators affected the quality.
