Christmas Tree is a potent hybrid cannabis strain, often described as a phenotype of Pine OG, though some sources suggest it may also be a cross of other strains like Chem Skunk or One to One. It typically leans indica (60% indica/40% sativa) or is a balanced hybrid, with THC levels ranging from 20% to 28% and low CBD content (0.18-0.4%). Its high potency makes it better suited for experienced users.
Aroma and Flavor: The aroma is dominated by fresh pine, with earthy, woody, and spicy undertones, evoking a winter forest. Some detect hints of citrus, herbs, or vanilla. The flavor mirrors this with piney, earthy notes, a touch of sweetness, and sometimes a pungent or herbal aftertaste. Key terpenes include pinene (pine), myrcene (earthy), and caryophyllene (spicy).
Effects: Christmas Tree offers a balanced high, starting with uplifting, euphoric, and creative cerebral effects, followed by deep physical relaxation. It’s ideal for evening or nighttime use, promoting a calm, happy state that can lead to sleepiness. Users report it helps with stress, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, PTSD, and appetite stimulation. Potential side effects include dry mouth, dry eyes, and, in high doses, anxiety or couch-lock.
