American Beauty was the first mass bud to arrive on the bud scene March 17, 2022.  We are seeing weekly waves of buds and estimate over 10,000 buds of  American Beauty and growing.  Two weeks later we saw buds from Dark Star, a few more from  Robles Red, and then Physical Graffiti, Sugar Dragon, and Ax.  We anticipate large buds from those varities to break over the next 10 days.  First official American Beauty blooms pollinated April 27 and we anticipate almost 60 days to pick fruit due to cold spring nights.

First bud of the season spotted yesterday March 7, 2022 by Julio Robles...usually a neck to neck race between Robles and American Beauty for first ...
