Overview

Plants are 6 feet and resist lodging, so they stay upright in wind. Ears are 7 to 8.5 inches, some sources say up to 9, with golden-yellow kernels that are very sweet and tender at the milk stage. Sow in warm soil after frost in a block and keep it well watered. Maturity is listed from 70 to 85 days.
