Appearance

Medellin Cherry typically produces medium-density flowers with a tidy, conical silhouette, often ranging from 2 to 5 grams per nug for top colas. Bud coloration is usually lime to forest green, accented by vivid orange to copper pistils. Cooler temperatures near harvest may encourage purpling on sugar leaf margins and calyx tips. The flowers are covered in a granular frost of trichomes, which appear milky with amber specks as maturity approaches.

Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Medellin Cherry is dominated by a burst of ripe red fruit, reminiscent of cherry preserves or Bing cherries. This sweet top note is complemented by a subtle citrus sparkle and a soft floral lift, with underlying spicy and faint fuel accents. The flavor profile often translates these aromas, featuring notes of berry and cherry alongside hints of citrus, candy, and a touch of diesel.
