Lemonchello Gelato

Here's the thing about Lemonchello Gelato — it doesn't officially exist, at least not in the breeder world. No seed bank, no verified lineage, no parent strain data. It seems to depend entirely on who's labeling the jar. The name floats somewhere between Lemon Cherry Gelato, Limoncello, and Lemonchello Haze, which means you're likely dealing with a rebrand, remix, or regional rename rather than a stand-alone cultivar.

The most probable origin? Lemon Cherry Gelato by Backpackboyz, an indica-leaning cross of Sunset Sherbet x Girl Scout Cookies with an unnamed twist. That cut stormed Los Angeles in 2019, stacking awards and THC percentages like trophies, topping out around 28%. It delivers everything the name promises: sweet citrus, cherry candy, and creamy gelato gas wrapped in caryophyllene spice.

If not that, the jar could be referencing Limoncello, a sativa-bright cross of The Original Lemonade x Cherry Pie that took home Cannabis Cup gold in both 2008 and 2009. Alternatively, it's Lemonchello Haze, a Sicilian-bred hybrid of Super Silver Haze, Amnesia Haze, and UK Cheese, characterized by a zesty and cerebral profile. Three possible origins, zero confirmed breeder records, welcome to the chaos of modern strain marketing.

Bottom line: Lemonchello Gelato reads more like brand poetry than plant pedigree. Most menus featuring the name are actually derived from the Lemon Cherry Gelato gene pool — Backpackboyz' California dessert fuel that has become the unofficial ambassador for every "Lemon x Gelato" combination since. Until a breeder puts real lineage on paper, treat Lemonchello Gelato as a name, not a strain.
