Overview
Montauk is a bicolor synergistic hybrid, blending se and sh2 genetics, in the Delectable class. Its 6.5-foot plants give big ears of about 8 inches packed with small yellow and white kernels in 16 to 20 rows, tender and sweet. It shows better vigor in cool soil than most supersweets, so it can go in slightly earlier, once soil reaches about 60F. Sow an inch deep in a block, feed nitrogen and water deeply while ears fill, and pick when silks brown and kernels are milky. Maturity is listed around 80 days.
