TREESTARS SEEDBANK THRIVES on exclusivity. Born out of a drive to be independently successful, the company’s owner, a grower for 17 years with a background in clones, knew he would have to hustle to build Tree Stars stock. Building relationships with breeders at conventions while knowing that branding and reputation were everything. Tree Stars has been able to grow into a high-end bank, offering small-batch boutique seeds, clones, and flower that you can’t get anywhere else.

Owner “Tree,” as he is known, started as a grower 17 years ago, growing Bubba Kush in Texas. “That was our staple strain, that was what everybody knew us for-Bubba Kush-back then,” Tree says.

After a storm prompted a transformer check by the local fire department, Tree’s undergound operation was uncovered. After getting through the legal battle, Tree sold everything and, with just a duffle bag and grow equipment in hand, he moved out to California where he started working on a farm. There, he helped with growing, trimming, and building huge greenhouses for California’s now legal market. He also started selling clones, his first foray into the genetics and propagation side of growing.

“We became one of the biggest clone guys that everybody knew in SoCal,” Tree says. “We always had the right cuts and what everybody wanted.”

While selling clones, Tree would often get requests for seeds, which he sourced from a friend of his at no cost. But soon, he wanted to expand his business, selling seeds that he had cultivated from other growers and breeders. and starting his own seedbank.

Thus, TreeStar SeedBank was born, sporting a logo purposely reminiscent of the treestar that Little Foot searched for in the beloved Land Before Time children’s movie series.

Tree started at shows and conventions, standing in long lines and trying to get as much face time with the attending breeders and buy as much of their show-exclusive seeds to resale, building the boutique and small-batch flair that the company still boasts,

Now, with solid relationships with many high-end breeders, Tree and his team are looking to expand their options and continue to build a high-end boutique experience for their customers. While they currently carry seeds, vape cartridges, and apparel, Tree says they are also about to drop exclusive clones once again.

TreeStars seedbank carries exclusive drops from more than 40 breeders including Twenty20 Mendocino, Lit Farms, In House Genetics, Seedjunky Genetics, Cookies, and up-and-coming brand StarFire Genetics, who will soon be releasing a lineup of primo phenotypes and cultivars. They buy their seeds directly from the breeders, guaranteeing that the genetic lines are true and pure.
