Ethiopian Highland Sativa Strain Overview
Ethiopian Highland Sativa is a 100% pure sativa strain native to Africa that represents one of the most authentic landrace cannabis varieties still available today. Considered the finest in the world by the ruling Empress Zauditu and Ras Tafari who became the Emperor Haile Selassie this pure sativa comes direct from the ancient land of Ethiopia. This strain has been cultivated and inbred by his latter day followers in the city of Shashemene and represents an important piece of cannabis genetic heritage. The strain is historically significant as it has never been crossed to produce other strains and its purity is subsequently consistent, its potency virtually unchanged from one harvest to the next.
The plant exhibits typical sativa characteristics with long loose fluffy neon green nugs with light orange hairs and chunky white crystal trichomes. Ethiopian Highland Sativa demonstrates remarkable adaptability to various growing conditions, as it grows well at altitude and in cooler climates while maintaining its vigorous growth patterns. The strain has gained recognition among breeders worldwide due to its stable genetics and reliable performance, making it an important parent strain for developing new varieties.
