%X ABSTRACT: Myrtle (Myrtus communis L.), is a characteristic plant of Mediterranean climate. The myrtle plant, known as ¡®Hambeles¡¯, which has a white and large fruit had been cultivated in the region for many years. The black myrtle plant on the other hand, grows wild in forest characterized by smaller fruit sizes. Up to now, there has not been any registered black myrtle variety in our country. The results of the observations made in Antalya province showed the presence of some black myrtle ecotypes with large fruits. The aim of this study was to examine the characteristics of black myrtle types; fruit yield and shoot growth performance of this plant grown in two different ecologies of Antalya province. The myrtle plant has been cultivated in two different ecological areas, such as high and low lands. The cultured types were budded on the wild plants under high land conditions by using the patch budding method, whereas under low land conditions, the plants were grown by using own-rooted cuttings. The number of shoots emerged from the patches ranged from 3.9 to 7.0. The shoot length increased up to 208 cm in second growing season, but decreased to 104 cm in the third year. Fruit yield has increased markedly from the third year and reached up to 10.6 kg / plant
