Why the names collide

Weedmaps does not separate them: its address for Cherry Gelato opens the Black Cherry Gelato page, which traces that strain to Black Cherry Funk and the Acai Gelato cut and names no breeder.5,6 Leafly lists both as children of Acai Berry Gelato, and Barney’s Farm sells the same pairing of parent names as Black Cherry Gushers seed.7,8 Black Cherry Gelato has its own guide in the Official Cannabis network at blackcherrygelato.com.
