Also known as: Tashkurgan, Kholm
What is the Tashquarghan strain?
Tashquarghan is a indica cannabis strain, known for its relaxed effects and berry and black currant flavor profile.
Tashquarghan is an ancient Afghan landrace cannabis strain that originates from the Balkh Province in northern Afghanistan, specifically collected from the town of Tashkurgan (also known as Kholm). This historic location sits north of the Hindu Kush mountains and was once a significant Silk Road trading emporium, making it an ancient center of cannabis culture. The strain was collected in winter 2018 by The Real Seed Company shortly before political changes in Afghanistan. As a true landrace, Tashquarghan represents cannabis genetics that have evolved naturally over centuries in their native environment. Unlike typical broad-leafed Afghan varieties, this northern Afghan strain exhibits significantly different characteristics - displaying tall, lanky growth patterns with narrow leaflets and hemp-like stalks, growing 12-18 feet in height similar to highland hash plant varieties from the Himalayas. The plants are known for their characteristic stalky structure and intense aromatic properties, particularly noted for their sweet, fruity, and perfume-like aromas with prominent black currant and berry fruit scents.

Plants exhibit unique morphology with narrow leaflets and characteristic hemp-like stalks that contribute to their exceptional height.
