Kyle Kushman, a former High Times editor, developed Strawberryargely by chance in 2000. Kushman claims to have received a small a clone from a fellow breeder — a runt. The clone had allegedly been grown next to a strawberry patch somewhere in Connecticut. Kushman was struck by the clone’s pungent strawberry scent. He dubbed the strain Strawberry Field, and eventually. Crossed it with a Haze plant, the result was Strawberry , a hybrid that tastes soft and sweet and delivers a solidly cerebral high. Kushman built a buzz around Strawberry Cough’s in New York City’s underground market. He then moved out west to focus on cultivation in California and handed out clones of Strawberry on the cross-country drive, boosting its popularity even more.

The strain’s award-winning flowers are large and chunky. Despite its dominant sativa genetics, Strawberry  has a more indica-typical bud structure, with solid packed leaves.  The sativa genes show, however, in the buds’ tapered, conical shape, less like popcorn and more like tiny pinecones.
