Lemon Tree
Lemon Tree is a modern hybrid strain derived from Sour Diesel genetics. Its lineage is established through this specific development, positioning it as a distinct product of contemporary breeding efforts. Cultivators can expect a moderate growth difficulty for this variety, which performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. The plants reach maturity after a 63-day flowering period and are recognized for producing high yields.
The chemical profile of Lemon Tree is characterized by a complex array of terpenoids, led by dominant myrcene, followed by pinene, caryophyllene, and beta-pinene. The tertiary profile continues with ocimene, humulene, bisabolol, limonene, linalool, geraniol, borneol, valencene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, sabinene, and nerolidol. This precise combination of terpenes creates a nuanced profile that reflects the strain's specific chemical composition.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Lemon Tree is used to promote states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood, making it a functional choice for managing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. The strain has served as a foundational genetic component for numerous offspring, including Break-Neck Larry, Biscotti x Lemon Tree, Romie Rollins, Money Tree, Dayman, Lime Zerb, Limescotti, Lemon Tree x Larry OG, Lavenade, Gas Mark 10, Apple Pucker, and Ballsweat.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
