Very productive for me. I dinged it on reliability because it is almost too long season for my garden. |

Easy to grow. VERY TALL plants. They dwarfed my bodaceous. Last year started out wet (18+ in one week) then got bone dry, yet this plant produced beautiful full ears on evey stalk. Have not tried eating it yet, due to a job layoff I have not been able to buy a corn grinder yet. Hopefully this summer, and I will let you know how my masa & cornbread turns out! |
