The variability of seven populations of wild cherry in Serbia was examined according to eight morphological leaf characteristics. All examined characteristics showed statistically significant variability among populations. The highest differences among examined populations were found in leaf blade width. The grouping of populations was described also by discriminant analysis. In spite entomophyllic crossing and zoohorial seed spreading, variability among examined populations was considerable, especially related to the recent results in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Such variability present valuable genetic resource for further work on the improvement of wild cherry in Serbia, and should be preserved by methods of in situ and ex situ conservation.
