This corn tastes amazing! I chose it because of the resistance to smut (I had trouble with smut the year before). It truly did not have smut problems at all. The complaint I have with the variety is the weak stalks. It is moderately windy here, and the corn was blowing over at least once a week. I had to keep propping it back up with dirt mounds. It did survive and make wonderful sweet corn, but I will look for a shorter, stronger stalk variety. |
