The present experiment was conducted to assess the morphological and yield attributing characters of twelve Indian jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) cultivars using randomized block design with three replications during the year 2017-18 and 2018-19 at University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, Karnataka. A sum of seventeen morphological and yield attributes of shoot, leaf, flower, fruit and yield related parameters were studied. The results revealed significant variability across the ber cultivars for all the parameters. Among the cultivars, Sanaur-6 showed maximum canopy volume, highest number of productive shoots, widest leaf, longest fruit length, fruit width and fresh weight of fruit. Cultivar manuki produced highest number of flowers per cluster and yield per hectare. Therefore, these identified cultivars could be considered as prominent for cultivation or to exploit as a source of desirable cultivars in future ber improvement programme.
