Not to be confused with cultivators by the same name, the strain Lemon Tree comes from secretive growers somewhere on this big planet of ours. By crossing Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel, someone developed this evenly-balanced bud with the intention of combining bold flavors and effects that are ideal for most users. Many recommend using Lemon Tree in the latter portions of the afternoon to ensure full relaxation come bedtime.

Considered to be fairly moderate when it comes to potency, Lemon Tree averages around 20% THC and at her very strongest will show up right around 25%. Her nugs are very round and dark in color, however a thick coating of very bright trichomes helps to lighten up her look. As one would guess, Lemon Tree takes on super strong notes from both of her parents, blending zesty lemon and fragrant skunk for a taste and aroma that’s a love it or hate it situation. If you’re turned off by the thought of her, consider that she didn’t win Best Hybrid at the 2014 Seattle Cannabis Cup for no reason.

As is to be expected with a 50/50 strain, Lemon Tree typically offers users a predictable high followed by a relaxing comedown. Initially, most will feel as if they’re on top of the world after a few hits, with euphoria and a happy go lucky attitude filling them from head to toe. Alongside this contentment is a strong feeling of hunger that most find hard to ignore, so consider prepping snacks ahead of time if you’re not already near a kitchen. Most individuals notice that their high eventually turns physical, with a warming tingle that aids in relaxation and for some, complete sedation. Be careful when you choose to smoke this strain, as it could knock you out sooner than you might expect.

Those who are into growing their own strains at home may want to take Lemon Tree for a spin, as having plenty on hand at any given time sounds like a great plan. However, as is seen time and time again when secret breeders are in play, finding seeds or clones can be nearly impossible. At this time, no one is quite sure where they would make a purchase to begin their cultivation quest, so your best bet is to keep an eye out for a stray seed among your dispensary purchase.

Most smokers tend to like the effects that come along with a balanced hybrid, but not everyone is a fan of skunk. If you’re feeling adventurous, give Lemon Tree a try and see if it’s something you can overcome. At the very least, your little experiment will offer you several hours of relaxation and you’ll never have to try her again.
