Strain Overview

Sour Cherry, also listed as Sour Cherries, is a hybrid made by crossing Sour Diesel with Cherry Pie. The most widely documented version comes from Crockett Family Farms. People like it for its mix of tart cherry and lemon up front with a diesel finish.

Users on Leafly most often report focused, creative and sleepy effects, along with feeling relaxed and happy. Myrcene is listed as its main terpene, which fits the calm, body-heavy reviews. Because several breeders use the name, flavor and feel can vary from batch to batch.

At Tree of Life, Sour Cherry is one parent of our Envy THCa flower, a Sour Cherry × Frosted Lemonade cross. The other parent is Frosted Lemonade.

Sour Cherry

Leafly and Weedmaps credit the main Sour Cherry (Sour Cherries) to Crockett Family Farms, who crossed Sour Diesel with Cherry Pie. The name is shared by other cultivars: Breeders Boutique released a Sour Cherry made by a grower called Hemlock from C4, Engineers Dream, a Cheese x Cherry AK47 line and Blues, described as racy and uplifting. Weedmaps also lists a third version of unknown origin said to be Buddha's Sister x Sage N Sour OG. Stars and Stripes Seed Co sells a Sour Cherry too, but its parents are not publicly documented. No awards were found.

Shop It as THCa Flower

Our strains are hemp-derived THCa flower. THCa is the raw, non-intoxicating form of THC found in the living plant; when it's heated (smoked or vaped), it converts into THC. Every batch is third-party lab tested for potency and Delta-9 THC compliance, and the full Certificate of Analysis is on our Lab Results page.
