Genetics
Black Maple 22 is created by crossing two well-known strains:
- Dulce de Uva
- Sherbanger
Dulce de Uva contributes a sweet, grape-forward character, while Sherbanger, itself a cross of Sunset Sherbert and Headbanger, brings a sharper, gassy edge and sturdy structure.

Consumers commonly describe Black Maple 22 as:
- Deeply relaxing through the body
- Calm and settled in the head

Black Maple 22 Cannabis FAQs
Bloom Seed Co. runs large phenotype selections from their crosses, testing dozens of individual plants before picking the standout cuts to keep and clone. The “22” identifies the specific phenotype from the Dulce de Uva x Sherbanger cross that made the final cut, distinguishing it from other numbered selections of the same cross.
Sort of, but not exactly as the name suggests. Maple sweetness is part of the profile, but it shares the spotlight with vanilla, diesel, pine, and a peppery funk.
Black Maple 22 makes you feel heavy and relaxed in your body, and calm and quiet in your mind. It hits quickly, often within a hit or two, and tends to make you sleepy rather than alert.
Black Maple 22 is an indica-dominant hybrid. That means most of its effects lean toward the heavy, relaxing, body-focused side rather than the energizing, uplifting side you’d get from a sativa.
Black Maple 22 is best for relaxing at the end of the day, not for staying active or productive. It’s also popular with people who make their own hash or rosin at home, since its buds are especially resin-heavy.
It’s a cross of Dulce de Uva and Sherbanger, both bred by Bloom Seed Co. Sherbanger itself comes from Sunset Sherbert x Headbanger, which is where the strain’s gassy edge comes from.
Black Maple 22 is commonly associated with limonene and caryophyllene. Limonene contributes bright citrus notes, while caryophyllene adds a peppery, spicy character underneath.
Black Maple 22 is known for being very potent. Its dense, resin-coated buds are part of why it’s built a reputation among people who specifically seek out heavier-hitting flower.
Not really the best starting point. If you’re new to it, it’s worth pacing yourself between hits rather than smoking through a bowl or joint continuously, since that onset speed is what tends to catch people off guard.
