C. Banana by Taylormade Selections is a hybrid cultivar recognized for its balanced indica-sativa genetic profile and pronounced sensory characteristics. Developed by Taylormade Selections, this strain is noted for its high terpene expression and a profile that leans towards sweet, dessert-like aromatics.
Appearance
C. Banana typically presents medium-dense flowers with tightly clustered calyxes forming rounded or conical shapes. The buds are often a lime to olive green, highlighted by sunset-orange pistils. High trichome coverage gives the flowers a frosted appearance, indicating significant resin production.
The plant structure exhibits hybrid vigor with moderate internodal spacing, allowing for good light penetration. Buds develop dense heads with strong calyx stacking, and the sugar leaves are generally minimal, simplifying the trimming process.
Aroma & Flavor

Flavors often mirror the aroma, presenting a sweet and creamy profile with hints of citrus, vanilla, and a subtle peppery finish. This combination makes C. Banana a popular choice for those seeking a flavorful cannabis experience.

The strain is associated with a sense of calm, providing a relaxing experience without being overly sedating. Its effects are generally described as consistent and well-rounded, contributing to its reputation as a reliable hybrid.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
C. Banana typically tests around 20% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. The strain is noted for its high terpene expression, with Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Ocimene frequently cited as contributing to its distinct aroma and effects.
The combination of these terpenes, particularly those contributing to sweet, citrus, and spicy notes, creates a complex chemotype. This terpene stack supports the strain's balanced effect profile, combining mental uplift with physical relaxation.
Growing
C. Banana is considered a modern hybrid that is relatively manageable for growers. It exhibits hybrid vigor and responds well to training techniques like topping and screen-of-green, making it suitable for indoor cultivation.

The cultivar is known for its resin density, making it attractive to hash makers. It produces dense flowers with strong calyx stacking and is reported to have a forgiving feeding window. The plants can reach moderate heights, fitting well within typical indoor tent systems.
Origins & Lineage
C. Banana is a boutique hybrid developed by Taylormade Selections, a breeder known for creating balanced indica-sativa hybrids with high terpene content. While specific public lineage details are limited, the strain is recognized for its consistent hybrid structure and dessert-forward aromatics.
The name C. Banana can sometimes lead to confusion with other similarly named cultivars. Taylormade Selections emphasizes that their line is distinct, focusing on repeatable traits and a rounded effect profile.
