New Citrus

New Citrus is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

New Citrus is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive breeding scene. The strain was developed specifically to amplify citrus terpene profiles while maintaining balanced hybrid effects. Breeders sought to create a strain with pronounced flavor characteristics that would appeal to both recreational and medicinal users interested in terpene-rich varieties. The strain gained popularity in West Coast markets before spreading to other legal cannabis regions.

New Citrus plants typically display dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a shimmering appearance. The flowers often exhibit vibrant orange pistils contrasting against lime-green to deep forest-green foliage. The strain's most distinguishing feature is its exceptionally strong citrus aroma, which has been described as reminiscent of freshly peeled oranges or lemons with subtle earthy undertones. The flavor profile is similarly dominated by citrus notes, making it a favorite among users who prefer fruity, non-diesel cannabis varieties.

While not as historically significant as some classic strains, New Citrus represents the trend toward flavor-focused breeding in modern cannabis cultivation. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries in legal markets, particularly among users seeking daytime-friendly hybrids with pronounced terpene expression. Its balanced effects and approachable flavor profile have made it a reliable choice for both novice and experienced cannabis consumers.
