Black Maple is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by Harry Palms at Bloom Seed Co. through crossing Dulce de Uva and Sherbanger genetics. This modern dessert-leaning cultivar is distinguished by its dark, anthocyanin-rich coloration that can range from deep plum to near-black purples, giving rise to the 'Black' portion of its name. The strain gained significant recognition when Black Maple #22 phenotype won the 2023 Oregon Cannabis Cup, establishing its reputation among connoisseurs and medical patients seeking both exceptional flavor and high potency.
The strain exhibits dense, resin-sheathed flowers with triangle-shaped forest green nugs featuring long, thin orange hairs and chunky, golden-white crystal trichomes. Its complex terpene profile typically ranges from 1.5% to 3.0% by weight, with elite craft batches occasionally surpassing 3.0%. The aromatic profile is characterized by a confectionary sweetness reminiscent of maple syrup, caramelized sugars, and toasted praline, complemented by underlying notes of grape, gas, and spicy black pepper. This sophisticated blend positions Black Maple as both a recreational indulgence and a product with tangible wellness benefits, making it suitable for patients who need to maintain productivity while managing symptoms.
