Overview
Navajo is a bicolor sugar-enhanced (se) hybrid for the early part of the season. The ears are around 8 inches long, carry 16 rows of kernels, and finish in a blunt tip that the husk covers well, which helps keep birds and earworms out. The plant shows mild tolerance to rust and to Stewart's wilt. With its se genetics the kernels are tender and sweet without the strict isolation demands of supersweet types, so it fits easily into a home plot.
