Tobacco – Delgold
$3.99
Delgold or Del Gold tobacco was developed in Canada and is the result of a cross between hardy tobacco and two American varieties, Hicks Broad-leaf and Virginia 115. Because of its good yield potential and high nicotine concentration, this tobacco variety which can be cured for smoking is prized in commercial production. It reaches 1.5 to 2 meters in height and produces large broad light green leaves. It blooms towards the end of the summer until the frost.
