The origins of your cannabis should not be a mystery. The best cannabis products come from your communities, grown in local soil, with a short time before the plant makes its way from harvest to your hands.
Royal Trees is RiZE’s in-house cannabis brand, grown right here in Iron Mountain. With an emphasis on clean cultivation practices for quality flower, you can’t get much more local than Royal Tree cannabis products at RiZE’s Michigan dispensaries in the Upper Peninsula.
What Does “Seed to Shelf” Really Mean?
High-quality cannabis shouldn’t pass through too many hands (or doorways) before it gets to you, the consumer. Royal Trees is a seed-to-shelf retailer, which means every package that bears this name was grown, processed, and packaged in the same facility, right here in Iron Mountain, MI.
Like tomatoes or apples, locally grown cannabis is simply better when it comes to quality. A shorter supply chain ensures greater oversight of the product quality, consistency, and fresher products in your hands.
Meet the Cultivation Leader: Mikey Gohl
Behind the quality flower of Royal Trees is the leading expertise of one man: Mikey Gohl. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Mikey started working in agriculture at just 16 years old. He spent 10 years as a cannabis caregiver on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan and helped launch the first licensed cultivation facility in the U.P.
When it comes to excellence in cannabis cultivation, you don’t get much better than Mikey. And that expertise and passion for the plant show in his work.
Mikey sets the bar high, with clean cultivation practices that harness the power of science to grow the best buds possible with every batch of Royal Trees flower.
Inside the Royal Trees Cultivation Process
Genetic Selection
Not every strain makes the cut for Royal Trees. Mikey and his team carefully select strains based on flavor, potency, and ability to grow consistently. Starting with a rigorous selection process ensures that the end flower or product is of the highest quality.
Controlled Growing Environment
The quality of the grow room has a massive impact on the quality of the flower grown. Mikey and his team pay attention to every detail, with precise climate control, robust environment, and light monitoring, and consistent conditions from seed to harvest.
Plant Care and Monitoring
Cannabis likes hands-on growers, so Mikey and his cultivation team get up close and personal with every plant. This hands-on growing method allows them to perform continuous observation and plant health checks to ensure every seed planted meets its full potential.
Clean Cannabis: Quality Control & Testing
Safety is paramount when it comes to high-quality cannabis products, and Royal Tree’s commitment to customer safety extends beyond the lab results, all the way back to the start of the grow process. Royal Trees follows pesticide-free growing practices and maintains strict quality standards in every grow room, because every detail matters when producing high-quality cannabis flower.
In compliance with Michigan’s cannabis regulations, Royal Tree products are always tested at third-party labs, which verifies the potency, safety, and purity of every product.
From Harvest to Packaging
Cannabis flower is harvested at its peak of flowering. Each strain is slightly different, and it takes an experienced eye like Mikey’s to know when the trichomes turn milky and amber, and it’s time to harvest. There’s no rushing the drying and curing process – it takes a gentle touch to preserve the terpene profiles that give each strain a distinct aroma and flavor.
Once the cure is complete, we move the product quickly from our processing facility to the shelves of your local Upper Peninsula dispensaries.
Why U.P. Consumers Love Royal Trees
When it comes to quality cannabis, you just can’t beat flower that’s locally grown with clean cultivation practices right here in Iron Mountain. Local cultivation means less time (and shipping) between harvest and sale, so your flower is always aromatic and fresh.
The numbers don’t lie – cannabis consumers in the Upper Peninsula love Royal Trees.
