Tree of Life Strain

Tree of Life is a unique hybrid cross between Trainwreck and Mendocino Purps, created by Oregon OMMP growers in the late 2000s. It’s known to provide calming euphoria and an uplifting boost of creativity. With a vigorous sativa-dominant growth pattern, Tree of Life produces fully ripened buds with a rich palate of creamy orange zest and lemon balm.  An early flowerer, Tree of Life will finish its maturation cycle by the third week of September outdoors.  When consumed, Tree of Life has a pleasant taste reminiscent of sandalwood incense.

About Tree of Life

Tree of Life is a sativa-leaning hybrid that was born out of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program. This fragrant bud is a cross between well-known strains Trainwreck and Mendocino Purple and offers relaxing but mentally stimulating effects. Its potency is likely to impress cannabis novices and veterans alike. Tree of Life’s THC content has been measured at between 14% and 22%.

Tree of Life shows off with distinctly sativa flowers. These buds are medium i size and have a chunky, elongated formation. They maintain a characteristically sativa structure, with large, fluffy-looking leaves that cling only loosely to their central stems. The leaves themselves are a pale sage green and are twisted through with orange and brown pistils. Finally, a high volume of frosty white trichomes cover Tree of Life’s leaves, making them very sticky and hard to prepare for a joint or a pipe without the help of a grinder.

Tree of Life’s aroma is predominantly earthy and dank. The scent of damp soil floats on top, along with some skunky notes. Closer inspection reveals some bright citrus odors as well. Grinding up the buds yields some spicy and peppery accents as well. When burnt, Tree of Life tends to burn with a harsh smoke that can tickle the palate and cause coughing or watery eyes. This thick smoke carries an herbal orange flavor on the exhale.

Thanks to the influence of its Trainwreck parent strain, Tree of Life takes effect very soon after users consumed its thick smoke. Early physical manifestations of the high include a rush of blood to the head, along with some resulting pressure in the temples and behind the eyes. Once adjusted to these sensations, smokers may also notice a subtle stimulate in their thinking. Ideas or concepts that may not otherwise be interesting can suddenly hold a new fascination. Similarly, thoughts may flow from one to the next in a freely associative manner. This cerebral mindset makes Tree of Life a good way to work on complicated analytical tasks, as well as more creative, open-ended projects. Its ability to amplify internal monologues can also lead to chattiness and camaraderie in social settings, even among new acquaintances. As some time passes, though Tree of Life’s physical high begins to eclipse its mental properties. Waves of relaxation begin in the neck and start to roll down through the spine and core. Smokers may notice a relief from any deeply-held physical tension, as well as an increased capacity for breathing more fully and easily. At this point, Tree of Life’s vibe may be better suited to kicking back with a slow, visually engaging movie — for example, Terrence Malick’s trippy 2011 feature also called Tree of Life. If dosage is boosted, consumers should prepare for some entrenched couchlock. Because of its slow decrescendo in energy, Tree of Life is best enjoyed during the late afternoon or early evening when it can be fully appreciated.

Tree of Life can have several applications for medical cannabis patients as well. It can enable concentration on single tasks for those struggling with attention deficit disorders. It may also temporarily take the edge off of mild to moderate cases of stress and depression. This strain can also relieve physical pain whether it’s temporary, as due to injury, or chronic, as due to conditions like arthritis or lupus. Patients who are prone to panic or paranoia should consume this strain with caution, as its early sense of mind race can become disorienting in the wrong set and setting.

Seeds of Tree of Life are available for sale online. Once obtained, it can be grown indoors or out, although successful outdoor cultivation calls for a semi-humid climate with daytime temperatures between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Plants of this strain can grow very tall and indoor growers may need to contain their height with occasional pruning. Gardeners looking to bring out the strain’s hues of blue and purple should also expose their crops to cold (but not freezing!) nighttime temperatures just before flowering begins. Tree of Life flowers within 9 to 10 weeks when grown indoors.

Tree of Life is a must-try for indica and sativa lovers alike. The trippy, introspective high that creeps in on this strain’s backend makes it a great way to unwind after a long workday.

Sativa Dominant Hybrid

The effects may be what you came to the Tree of Life for, but it’s the flavor that will really have you addicted! Tree of Life has a sweet creamy flavor almost like an Orange Creamsicle. The smell isn’t bad either, with rich sandalwood accented by sweet lemons and oranges and a touch of zesty earth. Tree of Life buds have small lumpy olive green nugs that almost look like trees in themselves. Each nug is coated with amber hairs and a super thick frosty layer of tiny bright white crystal trichomes. The Tree of Life high is both relaxing and happy in nature with relatively mild effects given its high 14-18% average THC level and powerhouse parentage. You’ll feel an onset of euphoria almost immediately after your first smooth lemony exhale accompanied by a sense of creative inspiration. A slight energy boost comes next, infusing you with focus and motivation galore. A slightly hazy happiness will continue throughout the entire high, keeping you anchored in utter bliss from start until easy comedown. Thanks to these effects, Tree of Life is the perfect choice to treat chronic fatigue, depression, headaches or migraines, and nausea, among many other conditions.
