Also known as: Banana Cake, BFC
Banana Fruit Cake Strain Overview
Banana Fruit Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain is believed to be a cross between Banana Kush and Wedding Cake, combining the tropical fruitiness of the former with the rich dessert-like qualities of the latter. While its exact origins are somewhat unclear, Banana Fruit Cake appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to create a strain with both exceptional flavor and versatile effects.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Banana Fruit Cake is known for its distinctive aroma that combines sweet banana notes with creamy vanilla undertones and a hint of earthy spice, creating a scent profile reminiscent of its namesake dessert.
As a hybrid, Banana Fruit Cake offers a balanced experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has become particularly popular among users seeking relief from stress and discomfort without excessive sedation. Its unique flavor and aroma profile, combined with its reliable effects, have made it a sought-after strain in both medical and recreational cannabis markets, though it remains less common than some of its parent strains.

Banana Fruit Cake Strain Growing Information
Banana Fruit Cake is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation, monitoring for pests (particularly spider mites), and providing adequate support for the dense buds during late flowering. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
