In this work are shown the results from 3 year examination of morphological characteristics of tree, leaves and flowers of 30 cornel (Cornus mas L.) genotypes from natural population in Upper Polimlje area. The aim of the work was to show variability of examined morphological chracteristics of different cornel genotypes as well as important factors in selection and breeding of this fruit sort. Depending on genetic constitution, genotypes show big differences considering examined characteristic. The majority of examined genotypes have bush form. The tree dimensions vary a lot so we can notice weak, medium and strong genotypes. The most common is round crown. The leaves are mostly elliptic and oval, in one flower we can find of 15-29 smaller ones.
