Appearance
Cherry Tree buds are typically dense and heavily coated in resin, appearing almost crystalline under bright light. They often display a mix of deep green foliage with vibrant purple hues and distinctive red pistils, contributing to the strain's name and visual appeal.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Cherry Tree is characterized by prominent notes of ripe cherries, complemented by underlying hints of earthiness and a subtle skunk-like scent. Upon inhalation, users often experience a sweet cherry flavor that transitions into subtle earthy and herbal undertones, with some noting a spicy, woody finish during exhalation.
Effects
This hybrid typically delivers a balanced experience, beginning with mild cerebral stimulation that can enhance focus and creativity, followed by a gentle wave of physical relaxation. Many users report an immediate mood lift and calming sensation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use without causing heavy sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Cherry Tree generally tests with THC levels between 18% and 24%, averaging around 22%, with CBD content usually below 1%. Key terpenes identified include Myrcene, contributing a soothing base, along with Limonene and Pinene, which add citrus and pine nuances, respectively. These compounds are thought to contribute to the strain's overall sensory profile and effects through the entourage effect.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Mountain Top Seeds, Cherry Tree was bred in the early 2010s by carefully blending indica and sativa genetics to achieve a balanced hybrid profile. The strain's name reflects its visual characteristics and prominent cherry notes, which were a specific breeding objective, with nearly 80% of plants expressing these traits.
