Black Betty is a hybrid cultivar of unspecified origins. Some online reports attribute Black Betty’s creation to Oregon-based Hugo Ramirez, who crossed East Coast Sour Diesel with AK-47. Another origin story claims the same parent strains but points to the Netherlands as Black Betty’s homeland.

The top reported aromas of Black Betty are dried fruit, floral, and lemon. And it is said to taste like sweet tea and candied berries.
