Banana Split

Cannabis Strain by The Plant

Introduction
The Banana Split is an American dessert institution — layers of banana, ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry on top, assembled into something greater than its parts. Both The Plant and Crockett Family Farms have produced strains bearing this name, each bringing their interpretation of the classic to the cannabis catalogue. Both express as predominantly sativa hybrids, with flowering times around 60-63 days.

Lineage
The genetic foundation in most Banana Split interpretations involves Tangie — the celebrated Amsterdam-via-California citrus powerhouse — crossed with Banana Sherbet or a banana-sherbet-adjacent phenotype. Tangie contributes the bright citrus and sweet herbal quality that has made it one of the most influential sativa-leaning strains of the modern era, while the banana-sherbet heritage adds tropical sweetness, cream, and the berry notes of the sherbet component.

Terpenes
The result is a dessert profile of genuine complexity: banana and tropical fruit from one parent, bright citrus and orange sweetness from Tangie, and the creamy sherbet quality binding it all together. The banana split metaphor is apt — multiple dessert components assembled into a coherent whole. Limonene, myrcene, and terpinolene create the bright, sweet, complex aromatic character.

Growth
The predominantly sativa architecture expresses in tall, open-branching plants that need vertical space but reward the investment with substantial yields of aromatic, trichome-rich flowers. Crockett Family Farms, known for their Tangie work, brings particular authority to this cross, and The Plant's interpretation delivers the same sativa-dominant bright quality through their own genetic lens.

Effects
Effects are uplifting and euphoric — cerebral, creative, and sociable, with the fruit-candy terpene profile contributing a joyful, celebratory quality that lives up to the dessert reference.

Documentation
Medical users find sativa-dominant, mood-elevating genetics like Banana Split most appropriate for depression, fatigue, and creative inhibition.
