Tree Phenotype
The 'Tree Phenotype' refers to cannabis plants exhibiting tall, vertical growth with a dominant main stem and sparse lateral branching—resembling a coniferous tree structure. This morphology is commonly associated with sativa-dominant genetics and equatorial landrace lineages, where extended vertical growth maximizes light capture in dense forest canopies. Breeders working with this phenotype typically observe longer internodal spacing, later flowering maturity, and extended vegetative cycles. The trait persists across multiple generations when stabilized in seed lines, making it a recognizable marker in breeding documentation. Tree-structured plants often require taller growing spaces and present distinct training responses compared to bushy morphotypes.

Breeders select for or against tree phenotypes depending on cultivation context and market goals. Vertical growers and tall-room operations actively maintain tree genetics, while compact indoor production often prioritizes bushier alternatives through hybridization or phenotype culling.
