What is the Orange Is The New Banana strain?
Orange Is The New Banana is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and creamy flavor profile.
Orange Is The New Banana is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Orange Cookies with Banana Kush.

The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure. The flowers typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The leaves are broad and dark green, characteristic of its indica lineage, though the plant structure shows some sativa influence in its branching pattern.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines citrus and tropical fruit notes with underlying earthy and sweet undertones. The strain has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor experience. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among users who appreciate dessert-flavored varieties with potent effects.
