have received more positive comments on the flavor of sugar buns than any other I've grown. ears fill out nicely and I can leave mature corn on the stalk for a few weeks without losing flavor . freezes and keeps well . stalks are not too tall and therefore easier to handle when removing. a standby for me as I try other varieties.
