Origins and Genetics
Black Maple is a slightly indica-leaning hybrid created by crossing Dulce de Uva with Sherbanger, a pairing that blends rich dessert genetics with gassy, modern influence. Bred by Bloom Seed Co., this cultivar has gained traction for its unique flavor profile and smooth, balanced effects. The lineage combines the creamy, grape-forward sweetness of Dulce de Uva with the pungent, citrus-fuel backbone of Sherbanger, resulting in a well-rounded and terpene-rich strain.

Flavor and Aroma
Black Maple delivers a deep, dessert-like flavor with a gassy twist. On the inhale, expect sweet maple syrup and dark sugary notes, layered with hints of grape and creamy vanilla. The exhale introduces diesel, earthy spice, and a slightly nutty finish, giving the strain a rich and complex profile. The aroma is equally bold—sweet syrupy richness and fruity undertones are balanced by pungent gas and herbal funk, which intensify when the buds are broken apart.

Potency and Effects
Black Maple offers a calming, mood-enhancing high that begins with a gentle cerebral uplift, promoting a relaxed and content mental state. Users often experience a sense of ease and subtle euphoria, making it suitable for unwinding without becoming overly foggy. As the high settles, a soothing body relaxation develops, easing tension and promoting physical comfort without immediate sedation. The overall experience is balanced but leans slightly toward evening use. Black Maple is commonly chosen to help manage stress, anxiety, chronic pain, mood swings, and insomnia.

Appearance
Black Maple features dense, chunky buds with a rich, dark aesthetic. The nugs are typically deep forest green with prominent purple undertones, accented by burnt orange pistils. A thick layer of frosty, milky trichomes coats the surface, giving the buds a sticky, resinous texture and a slightly glossy finish.
