Walking into any convenience store or smoke shop, there is a familiar wall of colorful wraps and packaging.
A bit overwhelming at times, it can be hard for customers to know what to get. But in the midst of all of those options there is one brand that stands out — Tree-Rolls.
Tree-Rolls is a San Diego-based hemp pre-roll company.
From Cannabis to Hemp
Scott Bryant, the co-founder and CEO of Tree-Rolls, started his journey by first selling hops to breweries from 2010 to 2016. After moving to California in 2012, Bryant stepped into a medical dispensary, saw an opportunity, and he never looked back in his career.
Partnering up with co-founder and president, Victor Berrio, the team was dedicated to bringing professional branding to the cannabis industry and worked to launch some of the first branded pre-roll multi-packs in the country, according to Bryant.
At the time, there was virtually zero pre-roll production equipment available on the market, so they set out to create new innovative technologies to produce their pre-rolled products at the highest quality possible.
Once the 2018 Farm Bill passed, legalizing hemp products federally, their team transitioned to focus on creating premium hemp pre-rolls that could be sold nationwide. As a result, the Tree-Rolls brand was born.
Tree-Rolls Premium Hemp Products
“With Tree-Rolls, it’s our portfolio item. It’s everything we’ve learned over the years compiled into one product,” Bryant says.
Created in San Diego, their pre-rolls first start with high-quality, U.S.-grown hemp flower which has undergone a slow curing process. This allows each Tree-Rolls pre-roll to have the most aromatic and flavorful terpenes and rich cannabinoid content, including CBD and CBG. All of their partner farms originally come from the cannabis industry, ensuring that the plant is grown to its fullest potential.

Alongside high-quality hemp, Tree-Rolls has developed unique and innovative packaging for their products. Most companies package their pre-rolls in plastic tubes, which don’t always keep the product sealed. Other companies use mylar packaging to keep the product fresh, however, it does not protect the product, leaving it prone to bending and breaking.
“And there’re so many things like that that affect the burn and just the quality of the experience overall,” says Bryant.
“What really sets us apart from our competitors is our manufacturing process,” Bryant explains. “We’ve developed proprietary equipment to manufacture the finest packed pre-rolls on the market – no creases, or air gaps – just a perfect pack and an even burn.”
Inside Tree-Rolls
Designed for the convenience store and smoke shop market, as Bryant puts it, Tree-Rolls is currently distributed and sold throughout the U.S.
Containing pure organically-grown hemp flowers, Tree-Rolls are a great alternative to tobacco based products.
Using mylar packaging with a unique cardboard insert to maintain product integrity, the package remains smell-proof until opened. Then the beautiful aromatics of premium smoke-ready hemp immediately hit the nose.
Coming in multiple flavors, Tree-Rolls has a pure 100% hemp blend — Sequoia; a citrusy hemp blend — Aspen; and a tropical, sweet hemp blend — Palm. Additionally, the company offers a variety of other hemp pre-rolls blended with herbs, including lavender, peppermint and rose petals.
According to Bryant, the hemp + herb joints are some of the most popular. Each of these are made with flavorful organic dried herbs, and each has their own unique effects.
The lavender helps promote a calming experience, whereas peppermint gives a cooling menthol flavor. Then there’s the Rose, which creates floral aroma and flavor, and showcases the rose petals, which can be seen through the ultra-thin paper.
No matter the product, each Tree-Roll is guaranteed to contain quality hemp. The company lab tests all of their products through a DEA-certified laboratory and includes a scan-able QR code on each pack so consumers can check out what’s inside.
The company has also transformed the hemp + herb aromas into CBD hemp soy candles, giving consumers the option to experience peppermint, rose and lavender.

Buy From Tree-Rolls and Plant a Tree
Another aspect of Tree-Rolls is their ongoing efforts to give back. Advocates of sustainability and doing good for the world, Bryant explains Tree-Rolls created a partnership with Trees for the Future.
Trees for the Future is a public charity that started in 1989 that has planted over 200 million trees.

“Every single product that we sell, doesn’t matter if it’s a shirt, if it’s a pre-roll… we always plant a tree through our partner. So, every single product sold, and I’m guessing we’re in between 60,000-70,000 trees planted at this point.”
Tree-Rolls describes these efforts on the back of each of their pre-roll packages, as well as in the cardboard insert.
Sustainability is something that Tree-Rolls never fails to embrace. For instance, their packaging alone reduces plastic use by 20%-30%, compared to a plastic tube.
Plans for the Future
Tree-Rolls continues to expand their national footprint in the convenience store market and also has their own wholesale program available on their website. Bryant also says that they plan on adding a wider range of pre-roll flavors and options to their lineup, as well as multi-packs so consumers can have more on-hand while on-the-go.
Tree-Rolls is on the rise, and they are entering convenience stores and households nationwide. Every time they do, not only do they plant a tree, but a great smoking experience too.
