Where Billy Kimber Comes From
Leafly describes Billy Kimber as an award-winning phenotype of OG Kush, attributed to the California lifestyle brand Garrison Lane, with Gas House also named as a main grower. Its name comes from a character on the TV series Peaky Blinders. We found no second source confirming the awards or the origin, so those details are Leafly’s account.
OG Kush is listed as the parent. A phenotype is a particular selection from a strain, so this is a distinct cut rather than a new cross.
