Don't let my review bias you, but this variety was a disaster for me. It didn't grow well; the tassels put out very few anthers, and those were shedding pollen before there were silks. So the plants were out of sync (I didn't stagger the plantings closely enough) and I ended up with ears that only had a couple of developed kernels.
