I have a promise to @sofssu to post about the tobacco plant. Timely the tobacco farming in our place just starting to move.
So, this is tobacco plant, a variety of Virginia, the season start in the month of November and the last harvest will by April or May.
The plant got one branch where the leaves grows. The most important thing are the leaves. The plant grows from one meter to two meters. The leaves are big and incolor green.
The green leaves when harvested are flu-cured and will be then sold to the manufacturers. It turns from green to brown.
The photo is a growing tobacco plant in my place.
