Banana Split strain guide
Banana Split is a sativa-leaning hybrid from Crockett Family Farms, made by crossing Tangie with Banana Sherbet. It smells like a fruity dessert, with banana and tropical sweetness over bright citrus, and people mostly describe a clear, level-headed lift rather than a heavy one.
Where does Banana Split come from?
One strain database and dispensary listings agree that Banana Split was bred by Crockett Family Farms in California, from Tangie and Banana Sherbet. That database describes the Tangie side as the farm's own well-known cut, and Banana Split is described as one of the farm's early releases.
Sources split on its exact balance. Most call it sativa-leaning, while one grow database lists it as indica-leaning in one entry and 60% sativa in another. A release year is not well documented.
What does Banana Split smell and taste like?
The name gives it away. Listings describe a sweet, tropical smell with ripe banana and a bright tangerine note from Tangie, plus a soft honey sweetness. Some reviewers also pick up pepper, pine and earth underneath.
One strain database lists myrcene as its top terpene, followed by caryophyllene and linalool. That fits the fruity, earthy base, the peppery edge and a gentle floral side. The flavour is usually banana and citrus with a creamy, dessert-like finish.
Banana Split effects: what people report
People most often describe Banana Split as focused, happy and euphoric, with a clean, clear-headed feel. Dispensary notes call it energizing but not racy, and growers describe an upbeat head feel with a calm body that doesn't tip into sleepy. Some reviewers say it suits creative work or getting things done.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. A few people mention feeling anxious or restless, and headaches and dry eyes come up too.
How strong is Banana Split?
Banana Split is listed across a wide range. One product on one strain database shows about 15% THC, while a reviewer reported a batch near 24%, so expect anything from the mid teens to the mid 20s. CBD is minimal.
That range is why the label matters more than the name. If you're new, start small and wait before having more. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains the numbers.
Buying Banana Split in Canada
Because THC varies so much between batches, check the label for the THC and CBD numbers before you buy, along with the packaging date. Fresher flower keeps more of that banana and citrus smell.
Banana Split vs Tangie
Tangie is Banana Split's citrus parent. Tangie is all fresh tangerine with an energetic, upbeat reputation. Banana Split keeps that citrus note but rounds it out with banana and creamy sweetness from Banana Sherbet, and reports describe it as a bit more level and relaxed in the body. If you want pure, bright orange, go with Tangie. If you'd like that citrus turned into more of a fruit dessert, try Banana Split.
