The Story Behind Royal Tree Gardens
Royal Tree Gardens started in 2013 when five friends in Tacoma decided to turn their shared passion for cannabis into a licensed business. According to Leafly, the group built a Tier 2 indoor cultivation facility in the shadow of Mount Rainier with one guiding principle: quality over quantity. That philosophy shows in every step of their process. Royal Tree Gardens hand-trims all of their flower, a labor-intensive choice that preserves trichome integrity and produces a cleaner final product. Their drying process involves hanging whole plants for 7 to 10 days in a tightly controlled environment, followed by a 16-day flush leading up to harvest that removes residual nutrients from the plant tissue. The result is flower that burns white, tastes clean, and delivers a full terpene experience. Royal Tree Gardens maintains over 80 strain offerings at any given time, sourcing rare genetics and running small batches to keep quality high. Their Middlefork strain was named the best THC-dominant flower in Washington, earning a 95-point rating that put the brand on the map statewide.
Royal Tree Gardens Products at Happy Time Yakima
We carry 49 Royal Tree Gardens products at our Yakima location, with the selection focused on what this brand does best: flower and pre-rolls.
- Flower - Premium indoor-grown buds in eighth (3.5g) jars. Each batch is hand-trimmed and slow-cured to preserve terpene profiles. Expect dense, frosty nugs with pronounced aromas. THC typically ranges from 20% to 30% depending on the strain.
- Pre-Rolls - Ground from the same premium flower, not shake. Royal Tree Gardens pre-rolls burn evenly and taste like the strain they are named after, which is not something every brand can claim.
- Concentrates - Select Royal Tree Gardens extract products may appear on our menu when available, offering a concentrated version of their terpene-rich genetics.
Popular Royal Tree Gardens Strains and What to Expect
Royal Tree Gardens rotates through dozens of genetics, but several strains have earned loyal followings among Washington cannabis consumers.
Middlefork is Royal Tree's flagship sativa-dominant strain and arguably their most famous creation. Bred from obscure Dutch Treat lineage, Middlefork earned a 95-point rating and was named the best THC-dominant flower in Washington. According to Leafly, the terpene profile features myrcene, terpinolene, and limonene, producing aromas of lime, blueberry, and sweet basil. THC averages around 23% to 24%. Effects start with an uplifting, giggly euphoria and taper into a happy, focused state that works well for creative tasks or social settings.
Do-Si-Dos earned a 93-point rating and is an indica-dominant hybrid that crosses GSC (Girl Scout Cookies) with Face Off OG. The aroma is pungent and earthy with a touch of sweetness. This strain delivers strong physical relaxation paired with a mild cerebral buzz. Dominant terpenes include limonene and linalool, and THC content generally falls between 24% and 28%.
White Tahoe Cookies scored 94 points and is another indica-dominant hybrid in Royal Tree's catalog. This strain combines The White, Tahoe OG, and an unknown Cookies cut to produce dense, trichome-covered buds with a creamy, earthy flavor. Effects lean heavily sedating, making it an evening and nighttime pick.
Dulce de Uva is a newer addition to the Royal Tree lineup that has gained traction across Washington dispensaries. The name translates to "grape candy," and the flavor lives up to it with sweet, fruity terpenes that make this strain a crowd-pleaser.
What Sets Royal Tree Gardens Apart
The hand-trimmed, small-batch approach is the defining feature. While many Washington producers have moved to machine trimming for efficiency, Royal Tree Gardens still trims every bud by hand to protect the trichome layer that carries cannabinoids and terpenes. Their 16-day pre-harvest flush is longer than industry standard and contributes to the clean burn and smooth taste that reviewers consistently praise. The 7 to 10 day whole-plant hang dry, in a controlled environment with precise temperature and humidity, allows chlorophyll to break down slowly without damaging volatile terpenes. Leafly has featured Royal Tree Gardens as one of Washington's finest cultivators, and their 80-plus strain library means there is always something new to try alongside the established favorites. For consumers who prioritize flavor and smoothness over raw THC numbers, Royal Tree Gardens is one of the best options in the state.
