If you look at the large photo in the 7th post of this thread, you can see that they have planted these 4-5' tall plants very closely. I would suggest a spacing of about 10 inches.

That is simply incorrect. Hybrids between species (say, N. tabacum x N. rustica) often produce sterile pollen. Within the same species, hybrids are usually fully fertile.Bob
Yes Bob I have also read that that's why I was a little surprised of the sellers answer. I was asking if they had any Idea what the parents name was/is, but because he told me they are sterile I didn't put much more attention on the variant.. But perhaps I will take some days to think about on it, I mean it looks interesting..

That is a curiosity. Maybe it was simply b.s. to prevent people from producing their own seed. Maybe there is some actual inter-species voodoo going on.

I find it curious that the documentation on Krumovgrad-58 states a "cone-shaped" plant, yet the photo clearly shows a columnar plant.

rainmax, do you know if the K-58 produces seed that breeds true?

Bob

As soon as I read your post I write mail to Mrs. Vessi Masheva (Bolgaria) from her I get seeds. Until today I didn't get an answer.
I didn't bag my plants cause I have plenty of original seeds so I can not answer eider.
I can send some seeds...
