Tobacco “White gold”

White Gold is an heirloom variety of bright leaf tobacco, originally cultivated by the Coker Seed Company in the 1950s. It is known for its impressive leaf size, with leaves measuring 14″-16″ wide and up to 25″ to 30″ long. Each White Gold plant typically yields around 18 leaves.

One of the advantages of White Gold is its early maturity, reaching full growth in just 50-55 days. This makes it a favorable option for growers in regions with shorter growing seasons. After the plant blooms, the leaves begin to ripen, allowing for timely harvesting.

When it comes to curing, White Gold air cures to a light brown color. The dried leaf weighs approximately 3 ounces per plant, providing a decent yield for growers. Whether you’re a seasoned tobacco enthusiast or a beginner grower, White Gold may be a worthwhile choice for its notable attributes and relative ease of cultivation.
