Leaf Serration
Leaf serration refers to the degree and pattern of jagged edges or teeth along cannabis leaf margins. Serration varies considerably across cultivars, ranging from deeply toothed (coarse serration) to smooth or barely notched edges (fine serration). This trait is influenced by both genetics and environmental conditions, making it useful for phenotype identification within breeding programs. Breeders working in this category often track serration patterns as a visual marker for lineage consistency, though the trait itself carries no known agronomic or cannabinoid-production advantage. Serration is commonly observed in documentation of broad-leaflet versus narrow-leaflet plant architectures.

Serration patterns serve primarily as a morphological descriptor for phenotype sorting and parent-line identification in seed production. While not a primary selection criterion, breeders may use consistent serration as a secondary marker when maintaining cultivar stability or documenting genetic drift across generations.
