Christmas Tree

Where does Christmas Tree come from?

There is no breeder on record for Christmas Tree. The one origin story in the listings we found says it is a phenotype of Pine OG, meaning a plant grown from that line that stood out and was kept. That claim comes from a single database, and we could not find a second source to back it up, so treat it as a guess rather than a fact.

It also shouldn't be confused with similarly named strains such as '91 Christmas Tree or Christmas Lights, which are listed separately with their own descriptions.

What does Christmas Tree smell and taste like?

The name fits the jar. Listings describe a fresh pine and woody smell with earthy, herbal and lemongrass notes, and a sweet edge underneath. The taste follows: woody and piney, with a slightly pungent finish.

Reviewers on one strain database also pick out apricot and blueberry flavours, which is a softer, fruitier take than the forest-floor description. No source we found publishes a terpene breakdown for this strain, so we have left terpenes blank rather than guess. Pine-smelling strains are often linked to pinene, but that is a general pattern, not a result for this strain.

Christmas Tree effects: what people report

Reports lean calm. People describe feeling relaxed and happy, with a slow body feel that builds and a sleepy finish. A few mention a creative, uplifted start before it settles.

These are experiences people report, not promises. Some reviewers also mention dry mouth, and a couple say a strong batch left them feeling anxious or paranoid, so go slowly with an unfamiliar jar.

How strong is Christmas Tree?

The listing we found puts Christmas Tree at about 25% THC, and a reviewer repeats the same number. That is a single published figure, not a range from many lab results, so it is a rough guide at best.

That is on the strong side. If you are new to high-THC flower, start with a small amount and wait before having more. The label on the package shows the THC and CBD for the batch in your hand, which matters more than the strain name. Our guide to reading cannabis labels walks through it.

Buying Christmas Tree in Canada

We could not confirm which licensed producers carry Christmas Tree, or whether it is sold under that exact name at any given time. Because the name is shared with other cuts, two products labelled Christmas Tree may not be the same plant.

Check the THC and CBD on the label, the packaging date, and whether the producer lists terpenes. If the listing names a lineage, take it as the producer's claim.

Christmas Tree vs OG Kush

There is no documented family link between these two, so this is a comparison of feel rather than of lineage. OG Kush is the better-known classic, with a fuel, lemon and pine smell and a balanced, steady feel. Christmas Tree is described as more purely pine and wood, and it leans more toward sleepy. If you want the pine smell in a mellower package, try Christmas Tree. If you want the classic profile with more documented history, start with OG Kush.

These are close in feel, though none is a confirmed relative:

• OG Kush: a classic with pine and fuel in the smell and a steady, relaxed feel.
• Bubba Kush: heavier and earthier, often described as sleepy.
• Northern Lights: a long-running indica with a calm, earthy character.
