# Cherry Gelato

> Cherry Gelato, also called Cherrylato, is a hybrid that Leafly and AllBud list as a cross of Black Cherry Funk and Acai Berry Gelato (also sold as Acai Gelato), 60% sativa, from a breeder Leafly calls unknown. It is not Lemon Cherry Gelato, the Backpack Boyz strain Leafly called “the #4 strain in the US” in 2023, and although Leafly gives Black Cherry Gelato the same two parents, it lists the two as separate strains. Our lab data hold only five tests of Cherry Gelato flower from state labs, with a median total THC of 24.11%.
