Variability of ground cherry (Cerasus fruticosa Pall.) fruits in South Urals

It is shown, that at ground cherry in Sonth Urals species within the limits of cenopopulation are non-uniform on length of fruits. The essential difference on length of cherry fruits is revealed also at cenopopulations comparison. Cherry fruits on Zalairskiy plateau have smaller length, than in Bashkir Preduralye and on east slope of Sonth Urals that testifies about population differentiations of a kind in region. Essential individual and ecological variability defines an opportunity of effective selection of species and cenopopulations on fruits size for use in the selection purposes.
