Flavor & Aroma
True to its name, Cherry Pie often brings a sweet cherry and berry bouquet layered over warm, doughy notes. Myrcene is frequently associated with the dessert-like sweetness, while caryophyllene can add a subtle peppery spice and limonene contributes a light citrus lift. On the inhale, expect ripe cherry and vanilla hints; the exhale can lean earthy and pastry-like with a touch of pine from pinene.
Genetics & Lineage
Cherry Pie is commonly reported as a cross of Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison, pairing a classic indica lineage with a storied sativa. The cultivar is often linked to California breeders and has circulated widely, leading to phenotype variation in aroma intensity, colour, and structure across different growers.
