Scantic is a a Connecticut Broadleaf cigar type wrapper tobacco developed with resistance to Fusarium wilt and reduced sensitivity to weather fleck. USDA studies showed over a 20% yield increase in comparison to the current wilt-resistant standard, regardless of whether soils were infested with the pathogen or not. Scantic grows to a height of 5 feet producing 10-12 large heavy weight leaves, The leaves range form 15-18 inches in width and 24-28 inches long. The low height of the plant makes it much more weather and wind resistant than many other wrapper strains. Our stock originated from the USDA Nicotiana Collection as accession number PI 6191633. Each packet contains about 100 seeds.
