Also known as: Banana Sundae
Overview
Banana Cream Sundae is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) that belongs to the wave of dessert-themed cannabis cultivars that gained popularity in the late 2010s when consumer demand for flavor-forward genetics expanded across legal markets. The strain exhibits multiple genetic lineages depending on the breeder, with the most commonly reported being crosses of banana-aromatic genetics (such as Banana Cream or Banana OG) with Sundae Driver, though Atlas Seed's version features genetics of (Banana Cream × Jealousy) × Gelato #41. The strain typically produces dense, heart-shaped bright emerald-green buds with thick orange hairs, deep purple undertones, and a generous coating of sparkling crystal trichomes. Known for its creamy banana and vanilla flavor profile with hints of spicy cinnamon and citrus, Banana Cream Sundae has gained recognition in the cannabis community for its balanced effects that provide both mental stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain has been featured in cannabis competitions and continues to be used as a parent strain for newer dessert crosses, indicating its ongoing popularity among both commercial growers and home cultivators.
