Morello Cherry
Also known as: Cherry Morello
Morello Cherry Strain Overview
Morello Cherry is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Cherry Pie with an undisclosed indica parent, though some sources suggest Black Cherry or Cherry Kush lineage. The strain emerged in the late 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to enhance the cherry flavor profile while maintaining potent indica effects. It gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene before spreading to other markets, particularly among users seeking flavorful, relaxing strains with pronounced physical effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple and dark green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The name derives from its pronounced aroma and flavor profile reminiscent of Morello cherries, a tart cherry variety commonly used in culinary applications. The strain's terpene profile creates a complex sensory experience that distinguishes it from other cherry-flavored cannabis varieties.
Morello Cherry is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain's potency and flavor consistency have made it a favorite among connoisseurs, though it remains less common than mainstream cherry varieties. Breeders have worked to stabilize its genetics, resulting in relatively consistent phenotypes across different growing environments. The strain represents a specialized development within the broader category of fruit-flavored indicas, with particular attention to authentic cherry characteristics.

Morello Cherry Strain Growing Information
Morello Cherry is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Morello Cherry prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and careful nutrient management as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Growers should monitor for common pests and implement preventive measures, particularly during flowering when the aromatic buds can attract insects.
