Tri-City Pine
Also known as: Tri-City Pine OG, Tri-City Pine Kush
Tri-City Pine Strain Overview
Tri-City Pine is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to have originated in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, specifically in the area encompassing the 'Tri-Cities' region of Washington state. The strain's exact genetic lineage remains somewhat obscure, but it is believed to be a phenotype or cross involving classic Pine strains, possibly with OG Kush or other West Coast genetics. The name references both its geographic origins and its distinctive pine-forward aroma profile.
Visually, Tri-City Pine typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a forest green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's most notable characteristic is its pronounced pine aroma, which is often described as reminiscent of a fresh pine forest with subtle earthy and citrus undertones. The flavor profile follows this aromatic lead, delivering a clean, pine-forward taste with hints of earthiness and sometimes a touch of lemon or spice on the exhale.
While not as widely documented as commercial strains, Tri-City Pine has developed a regional following in the Pacific Northwest where it is appreciated for its balanced effects and distinctive terpene profile. The strain represents an example of regional cannabis breeding that emphasizes specific aromatic qualities while maintaining reliable performance characteristics. Its relative rarity outside its region of origin makes it a sought-after strain among connoisseurs interested in geographically distinct cannabis varieties.
