Bush Phenotype
Bush phenotype refers to cannabis plants exhibiting compact, lateral-branching growth patterns with shorter internodal spacing and wider canopy spread relative to height. This morphology contrasts with tall, columnar 'tree' phenotypes and emerges from both genetic predisposition and environmental factors like light spectrum and grow medium density. Bush phenotypes are frequently observed in indica-dominant lineages and certain photoperiod-sensitive cultivars, though phenotypic expression varies across clones and growing conditions. Breeders and cultivators document bush structure as relevant to yield distribution, canopy management, and resource efficiency in controlled environments.

Breeders select for bush phenotypes when designing cultivars suited to confined spaces, dense canopy cultivation, or horizontal light distribution systems. Bush morphology simplifies pruning protocols and can facilitate even light penetration, making it a useful target trait in strain development for indoor production.
