Leaf Serration
Leaf serration refers to the saw-tooth or jagged edge pattern found on cannabis fan leaves, ranging from fine, subtle notching to deeply pronounced peaks. This morphological trait is genetically inherited and varies significantly across cultivars and strain families. Serration depth does not reliably correlate with cannabinoid or terpene profiles, though certain lineages show consistent patterns. The trait is often more pronounced in sativa-dominant genetics, while indica-leaning plants frequently display smoother, rounder leaf margins. Leaf serration is primarily of breeding and cultivation interest for plant identification and phenotype documentation rather than aroma or flavor prediction.

Breeders document leaf serration patterns as a visual marker for genetic lineage tracking and phenotype stability across generations. The trait's heritability makes it useful for identifying pure lines or hybrid vigor in seed development programs.
