Tobacco Plant Pictures 3-15-8

The image to the right is Burley tobacco which has really just begun to thicken. It has lagged behind all other varieties that were planted at the same time.

Although, this variety does promise a strong yield and may prove to be a pleasant smoke so who knows.





The Kentucky Hybrid tobacco is growing fairly well and has begun to yellow at the lower leaves. As a note, Kentucky tobacco as well as the other tobacco varieties really need much more room for roots.

They will mature in small containers, but this is about as small as would be desirable.





Oh the Tennessee Redleaf tobacco has begun to flower nicely. These have not opened yet, however, a bit of color has begun to show at the tips.

The Tennessee Redleaf has been a great plant and hopefully proves to be an enjoyable smoke.




Finally, the Midewivan Sacred plant has flowered and begun filling a pod with seeds. This plant has been an excellent specimen to grow. There is rapid beginning growth followed by slower vertical growth enabling leaves and flowers to thicken and weight the stalk.

I thoroughly enjoy growing Midewivan Sacred tobacco and intend on growing it more in the future.





The Walkers Broadleaf tobacco plant is beginning to mature with a yellowing of the bottom leaves and denser clusters of leaves forming close to the stalk tip signaling preparation for flower growth.
