Last year I was fortunate to obtain some White Angel Leaf seed from Canada (Chillardbee) via Virginia (Deluxestogie). I was pretty amazed at the plants. Who wouldn't be? Where have you ever seen a completely white tobacco plant with white suckers and white seed pods?
Not knowing what cultivar of tobacco this was I decided to see if I could "make" my own White Burley ( which is actually extinct contrary to what the pipe companies want you to believe).
I took some White Angle Leaf root stock and grafted a Yellow Twist Bud scion onto it.
I then put plastic bags around each graft to keep the humidity level up while the wounded plant was healing.
A week later I took off the bags. Currently they are still in my basement, in the shade. I will slowly introduce them to the sun in about another week.
And finally... I just couldn't help myself. Here is a pic of my Tomacco plant. It is a low acid tomato scion grafted onto a Duale root stock
