# Cultivation Taxonomy Update

We've updated our **Taxonomy API** to remove three children categories for **Cultivation** products across all API versions.

As a result this change is reflected from the [/partners/categories/tree](https://developer.weedmaps.com/v2026.01/reference/get_categoriestree) endpoint and is available for use now. Please note in order to support  subcategories you must include the parent and children `category_id` or `category_name` when updating or creating a product. For more information regarding our Taxonomy, see [here](https://developer.weedmaps.com/docs/wm-categories).

<br />

### Cultivation Children Categories

* L2 Seeds ✅
* L2 Clones ✅
* L2 Fresh Frozen ⛔️ Deprecated
* L2 Trim ⛔️ Deprecated
* L2 Whole Plant ⛔️ Deprecated

<br />

Here's a visual reference of the new **Cultivation** Taxonomy structure:
