Cherry Blossom
Cherry Blossom is a name applied to several distinct cannabis and hemp cultivars, leading to significant genetic ambiguity. While versions vary from high-THC hybrids to high-CBD hemp, they are generally characterized by sweet cherry, floral, and earthy aromatic profiles.
About Cherry Blossom
The name Cherry Blossom is associated with multiple, often conflicting, genetic lineages. One iteration, from Source Genetics, is a complex hybrid resulting from a cross of Cherry Pie and Pre-Soviet Afghani, further crossed with Pure Thai and Face Off #4. Another version, often attributed to unknown breeders in the Pacific Northwest, is described as an indica-dominant hybrid of unspecified parentage. Additionally, there are several hemp-derived versions of Cherry Blossom, typically featuring genetics related to Cherry Wine; these are bred for high CBD content and low THC levels (0.3% or less) to comply with federal hemp regulations. Users generally report a consistent flavor and aroma profile across these variants, characterized by notes of sweet cherries, earth, pine, and flowers. Reported effects often begin with a sense of happiness and giggles, transitioning into a mellow relaxation that may lead to sleepiness.
Plant characteristics
The indica-dominant version of unknown origin produces short, bushy plants and is suited for warm, dry climates, offering medium yields. The hemp variety is also characterized by short, bushy, and compact growth; it is noted for being a hardy, disease- and pest-resistant plant that produces large yields in ideal conditions.
