Greenwood, also called Little Wood, is an heirloom fire cured tobacco that has been used for chew, a cigar filler and wrapper, and as a blend for cigarettes.
It grows 5′ to 6′ tall with blooming occurring at 55-65 days.
It produces 16-18 harvestable leaves averaging 14″-16″ wide and 24″ long which ripen 2-3 weeks after booming begins.
Picture this: a tall, proud plant that stands like a column, with leaves that reach for the sky in a way that reminds you of TN 90.
These plants aren’t shy – they stretch themselves to a height of 7 to 8 feet, dressed in a whopping 24 to 28 leaves. And we’re not talking small leaves either. These guys are sizable, ranging from 24 to 30 inches in length and about 12 to 16 inches wide – it’s like nature’s version of a “go big or go home” attitude.
Speaking of leaves, they’re kind of like the plant’s umbrella. When heavy rain decides to crash the party, these upright leaves shake it off like pros. And when the wind starts getting rowdy, they stand their ground pretty darn well.
Watch the magic happen as these light green leaves put on a show, transforming into a radiant shade of golden yellow as they mature. It’s like a glimpse of autumn all year round.
And the waiting game? Well, you don’t have to wait forever. After planting, give it about 75 days and you’ll be enjoying the fruits of your labor. As if all of this isn’t enough, Blue Star 100 is a breeze to cure – easy peasy.
So, if you’re into plants that are both resilient and stunning, with a timeline that won’t have you twiddling your thumbs, say hello to Blue Star 100. Trust us, it’s as awesome as it sounds.
