This variety tends to produce orange tobacco that is open, has medium grain and has a relatively low nicotine content. Fairly equal amounts of thin, medium and heavy tobacco were produced by this variety; however, it tends to be heavy bodied. Plants of Speight G-28 are short and have more than 19 leaves. The variety flowers medium to late. It has a low number of ground suckers, has moderate resistance to black shank and Granville wilt, is resistant to Fusarium wilt and root-knot nematodes, but is susceptible to mosaic.
