* ORDERING AND PRE-ORDERING INFORMATION *
It is very important that you read all the following information below before you place your tobacco plant order.
The Pre-Ordering process.
Reserving your tobacco plants by pre-ordering is a pretty straight forward process. By pre-ordering and paying for your tobacco plants months or many months in advance of the actual planting/shipping date you are insuring the tobacco
plants and the number of plants you desire are being reserved just for you. The only practical way we can offer tobacco plants to our customers is for our customers to pre-order in advance thus reserving the plants they desire.
This allows us to know in advance the number of plants needed of the varieties being offered and helps us plan accordingly.
How it works.
It starts with you choosing the varieties and number of plants you desire and placing your order. We will notify you by email within a few days that your order has been received and booked accordingly.
You will be charged at the time you order is booked to reserve your tobacco plants but your tobacco plants will not be shipped until they are ready (grown). Plants are not ready and do not begin shipping until May.
Plants are offered in multiples of 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 for each variety listed. You will have the opportunity to change the quantity of items in your shopping cart if you desire more than 1 order of a variety.
The Plants
Our tobacco plants are float bed grown although we do grow backup plants in regular plant trays in case we experience a plant failure with the float grown plants.
Caption
Growing plants on float beds is a process were by plants are grown in trays that float on water. This process promotes better root systems by forcing the roots to grow in a downward direction helping to get the plants off to
a fast start. From our experience tobacco transplants grown using the float system take off and grow better and faster than by using bare root plants, which was the traditional method in the past. To learn more on "The
Float System for Tobacco" you can read the a PDF file from the University of Tennessee by clicking here.
Plants will be removed from their trays the day they are to be shipped to you and will not be in a plastic container cell like a tomato or pepper plant you buy from the local garden center comes in. The roots of the plants
will be inserted into a small wax paper sleeve or wrapped in wetted paper or both to insure they don't dry out during shipping. They should be planted as soon as possible, you may hold them for several days by keeping the
root ball moist and the plants in an upright position to keep them from crooking. If your weather is unsuitable for planting for a long period or it is still a little to early for you to plant when they arrive, you can
simply pot them into a container of potting mix and let them continue to grow until your conditions are favorable for planting.

We strive to begin shipping tobacco plants by mid May and continue through early June or until all orders have been filled. We are unable to give an exact date in advance for when tobacco plants
will be ready for shipment because there are just too many variables that can affect the readiness of the plants such as weather, plant growth stages etc. When plants are ready to be shipped we will update the Tobacco Plant Update Page and we will email you the day we ship your plants.
We have created a special page to help keep our customers up to date on the progress of the plants and informed of any delays we may be experiencing etc. Tobacco Plant Update Page
