Greenwood is one of the very few tobacco's that I have found that needs light to germinate.

Have you grown Greenwood before bro? I’m doing some next year, but with the intention of just air curing instead of fire curing it.

The USDA classifications date back to the late 19th century. My sense is that dark air-cured and dark fire-cured tobaccos, though distinctly identified varieties, may be grouped together by their common traits of having large, thick, sticky leaves, and robust nicotine levels. Most if not all of their differentiation is likely due to historic, geographic differences in curing practices (including which firing wood was commonly used). So I would expect air-cured Greenwood to come out like most dark air-cured tobacco.

Every single internet result for Bosikappal is either a seed site, ARS-GRIN referenced, or a forum. Not a single result from India.

There are countless Indian results for Oosikappal, dating back as far as 1894.

There is not a single page other than my posts in this forum that mention both.

I'm almost convinced that ARS-GRIN mislabeled Oosikappal as Bosikappal.

ARS-GRIN mislabeled Oosikappal as Bosikappal.
Not an unheard of event. Pi 494163 is listed as the Turkish variety, "Tasoua", whereas @istanbulin stated in no uncertain terms that it was misspelled, and should be "Tasova". So I would assume, from your extensive searching that Bosikappal is a misspelling of Oosikappal. Unfortunately ARS-GRIN never listens to such justifiable corrections.

Not bad firewood, if seasoned long enough. But 60 dollars is a bit much, unless it’s the arborist’s bill of course (and the wood is, therefore, for free).

pier
I'm sure if I didn't live in a million+ city I could get it for less. Split, seasoned pine is around $400 a cord. Maybe I should move to Italy. Actually I should. I want to. I hate being cold. Spruce is only 200. Poplar maybe 150. It's dumb. They basically looked at the BTUs of the wood and priced it to match natural gas because that's how much people are willing to pay to not die in winter, rather than based on labour logistics and space.
