Description and Characteristics:

Plant Structure: KY-15 plants exhibit a robust, upright growth habit, reaching heights of approximately 5 to 6 feet. The plants feature large, closely spaced leaves, each measuring up to 24 inches in length and 12 inches in width.

Adaptability: This variety is well-suited for various climates and growing conditions, offering excellent performance with proper care.

Cultivation Guidelines:

1. Seed Germination: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly onto the soil surface without covering them, as they require light for germination.
2. Soil Requirements: KY-15 thrives in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH range of 6.0–7.0. Adding organic matter can enhance growth and overall yield.
3. Sunlight and Watering: Provide full sunlight and consistent watering to maintain moisture in the soil without over-watering.
4. Harvesting and Curing: Harvest the leaves individually as they mature, starting from the lower tiers. Air cure in a shaded, well-ventilated space to preserve the rich flavor and aroma characteristic of KY-15 tobacco.
