A very productive sweet corn that holds its own with Silver Princess, Augusta etc in production. It is slightly sweeter, just as tender. Hit my taste buds just right. It holds longer in the field and if one chooses to refrigerate has much better shelf life than the Se\'s. The best synergistic that I have tried to date.
