Welcome to the forum. Below is a post on spacing for Oriental (Turkish) tobacco varieties. "Karadeniz" refers to the Black Sea region around Samsun, so those varieties would include the Samsun-like, petiolate varieties: Samsun, Bafra, Katerini, Trabzon.


This season, I will be planting 36 plants of Xanthi-Yaka 18a into a bed of 30 square feet.

One other useful table regarding Oriental varieties. This shows the "desirable leaf sizes" according to the Turkish market practice:

With wide spacing, most Oriental varieties will grow to a relatively huge size (7 feet tall, for example), with large leaves. But this is at the expense of their intense floral quality, and their typical "Oriental" taste.
