Squirrel Tail
Also known as: Hang Kra Rog, Thai Stick, Hang Kra Rog Phu Phan, Squirrel Tail ST1
Squirrel Tail Strain Overview
Squirrel Tail, also known as Hang Kra Rog in Thai, is a pure sativa landrace cannabis strain indigenous to Thailand, particularly from the Phu Phan Mountains region. Named for its distinctive bushy, large flowers that resemble a squirrel's tail, this strain is directly translated as 'Hang Kra Rok' in Thai. This rare landrace was introduced to the Western world during the 1970s and 1980s, brought to the United States during the Vietnam War era as part of the famous Thai Stick cannabis. In 2021, the Thai government officially registered Squirrel Tail as one of four cannabis strains designated as National Heritage to promote research and medicinal use. The strain displays beautiful large thin leaves with 7-9 serrated leaflets and intense olive green coloration, growing vigorously to reach heights of 3-6 meters. The name 'Squirrel Tail' refers to plants with big dense bushy colas, representing an archetype within the larger Cannabis genepool of Thailand and Laos.
