Elephant Ears Strain Overview
Elephant Ears is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing Dogwalker OG and Grease Monkey. Bred and grown exclusively by Eastwood Gardens in Portland, Oregon, this strain is named for its oversized fan-shaped branches that resemble elephant ears. The strain emerged in the late 2010s and has gained recognition for its potent effects and distinctive appearance.
Elephant Ears produces dense, spade-shaped bright minty green buds with abundant thin amber hairs and a coating of milky amber crystal trichomes. The strain is known for its complex aroma profile featuring super pungent sour diesel and spicy herbs with underlying sweetness and petroleum-like gas notes. Some users describe the flavor as reminiscent of carnival elephant ear pastries with cinnamon sugar notes. The strain typically displays moderate internodal spacing and dense bract stacking, characteristic of its dessert genetics lineage that incorporates cookie and gelato influences from its parent strains.
This exclusive cultivar has developed a reputation as a 'heavyweight' strain suitable for experienced cannabis consumers. Due to its exclusivity and the fact that it's only grown by Eastwood Gardens, there are numerous imitators in the market, making verification of authentic genetics important for consumers seeking the true Elephant Ears experience.
