Lineage of Orange Crush

The genetic origin of Orange Crush is debated across cannabis networks. Most attribute Canadian-rooted BC Growers Association for the initial creation of Orange Crush. It's understood that the growers crossed California Orange with a Blueberry strain to create the reliably enjoyable marijuana strain we have today.
