BOULDER — Charlotte’s Web Holdings Inc. (TSX: CWEB) (OTCQX: CWBHF) announced the recent receipt of two new United States patents for the feminized seed hybrid hemp varieties Kirsche and Lindorea.

The Lindorea genetic strain features “naturally rich phytochemical profile and good disease resistance, has an excellent plant structure and a flower-to-stem ratio that is compatible with mechanical harvesting innovations,” according to a CW news release.

The Kirsche genetic variety, developed for the Kentucky growing climate, “exhibits broad resistance to fungal pathogens in the North and South Appalachian regions but also in the wetter autumn climate in Oregon while delivering record breaking yields,” the release said.
