Legendberry is a heritage inspired hybrid built from Oaxacan Malawi x Blue 13, created to honor the life, work, and lasting influence of Dave Damit. This cultivar embodies a fusion of globally sourced genetics and deeply personal breeding history, bringing together landrace influenced material with one of Dave’s most respected lines.

The Oaxacan Malawi side originates from seeds gifted to James during his 2023 visit to Mexico City, representing a lineage that connects back to traditional cultivation regions and older genetic pools. This component introduces a broader spectrum of traits, including vigorous growth, increased stretch, and a more open, expressive plant structure. It serves as a reminder of the diversity and resilience found in less commercialized genetics.

Blue 13 provides the foundation and refinement, combining Blueberry Haze with Louie XIII in a line developed by Dave Damit. Known for its reliability and strong resin production, Blue 13 has become a cornerstone in James’s breeding work, valued for its ability to bring structure, consistency, and visual appeal to more complex crosses. Its inclusion in Legendberry grounds the variety, ensuring that the final expression remains both manageable and high performing.

The plant develops into a medium to tall structure with a dynamic growth pattern that reflects its hybrid origin. Strong lateral branching supports a full canopy, while moderate internodal spacing allows for both airflow and effective flower stacking. The influence of Oaxacan Malawi drives vertical growth and overall vigor, while Blue 13 contributes tighter flower formation and improved uniformity.

Flower development results in elongated, resin coated colas with well defined bracts and a balanced bract to leaf ratio. The visual expression is vibrant and varied, often showcasing bright green tones accented by shades of blue and purple, with a consistent trichome layer that gives the surface a frosted, resin rich appearance.

Legendberry is ultimately a cultivar built on meaning as much as performance. It reflects a commitment to preserving important genetic material while continuing to evolve through thoughtful breeding. As a tribute to Dave Damit, it carries forward his influence, not as a static legacy, but as an active, living part of the next generation of genetics.

Legendberry opens with a vivid burst of deep berry aromatics, led by blueberry compote, dark grape skin, and a soft haze like sweetness that immediately reflects its Blue 13 foundation. The initial impression is rich and layered, with a natural fruit density that feels both ripe and slightly candied. As the flower is broken down, brighter notes begin to emerge, including red berry, subtle citrus zest, and a lifted tropical nuance that adds dimension and complexity.

Beneath the fruit forward top layer lies a more untamed backbone, with faint herbal tones, light earth, and a slightly fermented fruit character that speaks to its Oaxacan Malawi influence. This interplay between refined sweetness and wild, expressive undertones creates a dynamic aromatic profile that continues to evolve over time. The finish is long and expansive, leaving behind a coating impression of mixed berry, soft floral sweetness, and a lingering, slightly tangy fruit edge that remains present in the air.
