Also known as: Banana Royal
What is the Banana Royale strain?
Banana Royale is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and banana and diesel flavor profile.
Banana Royale is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Banana Kush with an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine Banana Kush's distinctive tropical flavor profile with the potent effects and resin production of elite OG Kush genetics. While the exact breeding history remains somewhat proprietary, Banana Royale gained popularity through dispensary networks and cannabis competitions, particularly in the Western United States.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, while a thick coating of milky-white trichomes gives the flowers a frosted appearance. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Banana Royale's most notable feature is its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, fuel-like undertones. The strain's name accurately reflects its dominant banana and tropical fruit aromas, which are complemented by subtle diesel and pine notes inherited from its OG Kush lineage. The flavor translates well to consumption, with a smooth smoke that carries sweet fruit flavors on the inhale and earthy, spicy notes on the exhale.

How do you grow Banana Royale?
Banana Royale 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, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of approximately 450-550 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plants exhibit a hybrid growth structure with indica-dominant characteristics, staying relatively compact at 90-120 cm indoors but potentially reaching 150-180 cm outdoors. Banana Royale prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase. Adequate airflow is essential due to the dense bud structure.
