About this variety
Brjanski is a variety of Nicotiana tabacum, the cultivated tobacco plant. The product card describes it as a robust, upright plant with large, wide leaves that stay light green while the plant is growing. This page collects those plant traits and the sowing notes from the card, so you can judge whether the variety fits the space you have.
Also known as: common tobacco, cultivated tobacco, tambaku (Hindi), tabaco (Spanish/Portuguese), tabac (French), Tabak (German), tütün (Turkish)
About the plant
- Species: Nicotiana tabacum, grown from seed.
- Habit: robust and upright, reaching approximately 7 feet (about 2.1 m) in height.
- Leaves: large and wide, light green during growth.
- Leaf type: the card lists Brjanski as a bright leaf variety, a leaf type within Nicotiana tabacum.
The card gives no flower colour, leaf measurements or days to maturity for this variety, so none are stated here. Plant size will vary with climate, soil and season.
Growing Brjanski from seed
- Sowing indoors: start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date in your area.
- Light: press the seeds lightly onto the soil surface and do not cover them, because they need light to germinate.
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Working organic matter into the bed before planting supports growth.
- Sun and water: give the plants full sun and water consistently. Keep the soil moist without over-watering.
- Spacing: the card does not give a spacing figure. A plant of about 7 feet with wide leaves needs generous room between plants, so the foliage has space and air can move through the row.
Move seedlings outdoors once the last frost has passed and they are large enough to handle. Keep a note of your sowing and transplanting dates, and of how tall your own plants get, so you can compare them with the 7 feet given on the card.
Planning the bed
Brjanski is a tall plant, so choose a spot where it will not shade smaller crops. Pick a place that gets full sun through the day, and prepare the soil with organic matter ahead of transplanting. A sheltered position is also worth considering for a plant with large, wide leaves, since broad foliage catches the wind.
