Hi all,

Based in your expertise can you identify which type of havana are those plants, mid leaves are 24+ in. long and cured to a brown color???

That's some beautiful leaf. Although I can't identify it, I would be rather happy with it so far.

The node spacing is close, similar to photos from the Vuelta Abajo, but I would guess that it is the result of the latitude, rather than the variety.

Here are photos of a number of Havana varieties: http://nicotianaprojectnet.ipage.com/cigar_binder.htm. The plants in the photos were all grown near Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

You have some good looking soil there and you did a fine job raising those plants. How about pictures of some of the cured leaf?

Here are 14 varieties from GRIN that have Havana in their name. Click each variety, if it has photos, they will be at the bottom of the page, click to enlarge.

The plants in the photos are being grown for seed, so they are not topped and probably have suckers growing.

The leaves look thin, like wrapper or maybe lack of nitrogen, but the plants look healthy anyway. Also, the picture shows them at a young stage, some pictures of the same plants but more mature might help.

Sorry I can't get the photo one Havana#322, he only had it on postcard. And I don't think I find it in the children's room.. And if I found it would it not be a a Garanti that you have the same..
