About

Lemon Tree is a hybrid cross by Seed Supreme, with Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel in the parentage. The name leans heavily on the citrus heritage, and the flavor profile in our records matches, with citrus, diesel, and lemon as the top three notes. But the terpene data tells a more interesting story than the name lets on. Despite the "Lemon" branding, Lemon Tree is not a limonene-dominant strain. Our lab samples show caryophyllene leading at 0.75%, with limonene at just 0.25% in second place. That is a three-to-one ratio favoring the spicy-peppery terpene over the citrus one, which is not what the name suggests. The chemotype classification is "Purple (Caryophyllene-dominant)", putting Lemon Tree in the same category as traditional Afghani indicas rather than the clean citrus profile its parents would imply. So where does the lemon character come from? Partly from the limonene that is still present, partly from the Lemon Skunk parent's fermented-citrus aromatic legacy, and partly from the subjective way caryophyllene and limonene combine. When a spicy-peppery terpene sits alongside a citrus one, the brain often reads the citrus as sharper and more prominent than it actually is in the numbers. The flavor tags in our data back this up: citrus, diesel, and lemon lead, with earthy and spicy further down. THC ranges between 13.0 and 17.5% across the lab samples in our database, which is on the moderate end of hybrid potency. The strain's reviews in our data lean euphoric, energetic, and focused, a daytime profile that doesn't particularly match the "Purple" chemotype label and is more consistent with how Lemon Tree tends to get described in consumer reviews. This is a strain where the marketing name, the terpene data, and the effect reports tell three slightly different stories, which is honestly pretty normal for hybrid genetics.

Why does Lemon Tree feel pain-relieving?

Lemon Tree's pain-relieving effects are linked to its dominant caryophyllene (0.75%), one of the few terpenes that binds directly to CB2 cannabinoid receptors. Complemented by humulene (0.30%), associated with appetite suppression and anti-inflammatory effects.
