Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) is a valuable species with great diversity in terms of variability of morphological characteristics. Cornelian cherry’s genetic diversity is important for the adaptability of genotypes to environmental conditions in different areas. The aim of this paper was to study the variability of some cornelian cherry shrubs from local populations in Oltenia region, in order to identify and select genotypes of interest that are adapted to local climatic conditions. A high variability of the plant's morphological characteristics has been observed both within populations as well as between populations analyzed, variability which can be an important source in selecting genotypes of interest with an important role in the breeding programs.
