Description

The listing, Bicolour Sweet Corn Seeds has ended.

This is 3rd personal-generation, non-GMO, selectively-bred, adjective-rich, bicolour, sweet corn. I have cultivated this corn to grow quickly and harvest early in my climate (SE Michigan) The average time to fruition is ~80 days from sow to table! In my opionion, one of the 5 most satisfying crops for ease of care and productivity. About 5 ears per stalk.

Michigan grown.


(In case you are wondering, in my opinion, the other 4 easy crops are beans, peas, Brussels sprouts and pumpkins for the MI zone.)

how did you get these to produce more than 2 ears of corn per stalk?

Selective breeding over 3 years. Obviously no guarantee as to how many ears per stalk, but one family dinner per plant is a safe guess.

And the images of growth were taken ~4 weeks and ~5 weeks (respectively) after sowing.

Original seeds which I sowed 3 seasons ago to start this strain were from American Seed Company packets (packaged for 2009 if I recall.) I really like grilling corn and eating the result, so I took it upon myself to manually pollinate the most fruitful of my crop and the hobby/scientific knowledge grew. I am not Mendelev, I just love knowing that I can help roll the dice with nature with a shoot for the best. These kernels are likely genetically significant but I am not a botanist... yet, so they may produce a lot, an identical crop, or none at all. (Although history dictates these are ~95% viable regardless.) If the winning bidder is dissatisfied, I apologise and I hope that I can assist in cultivation for sufficiency post-sow on something. Kernels were cob-dried on an elaborate structure of K'Nex and wrought into a paer bag for long-tem storage.

Yes, I am a 25-yr old amateur botanist who still uses/plays with K'Nex. You should try it! (Beans in the garden on the roller-coaster are awesome...or any climbing plant on any structure I suppose.)
