Appearance
Peruvian Piñata presents dense, compact buds generously coated in shimmering trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. Intricate patterns of pistils and trichomes create a lace-like effect, especially during late flowering. Buds can reach up to two inches in diameter and may display a corky texture.
