'Virginia 509' plants grow five to six feet tall with leaves that are closely spaced on the stalk. Its shorter stature provides better resistance to wind blow down than standard sized taller Burley varieties. The leaves turn a golden yellow when ripe, which is in about 60 days after transplanting. 'Virginia 509' has a high resistance to wildfire, moderate
resistance to black shank and black root rot, and some resistance to Fusarium wilt.[1]
A Burley-type tobacco, it was bred as a cross between 'Burley 37' and 'Burley 21' and released to commercial seed producers in 1967 in its F8 generation. Our seed originated from USDA accession number TC 84 and sent to us by David Pendergrass from Tennessee.

Tobacco plants are very interesting, ornamental, and have uses apart from consumption. This section of the website is intended for the historical and informational purposes of thinking adults. Anyone who has been raised since the turn of the 20th century already knows that tobacco can be addictive and can contribute to various medical ailments. If you do not smoke, it would seem illogical to start. We in no way encourage people to use any form of tobacco product.
