Overview
Chippewa is an early bicolor sugar-enhanced (se) hybrid with ears about 8 3/4 inches long and 1 3/4 inches across, holding 16 to 18 rows of kernels with excellent fill at the tip. The medium-dark green husks cover the ear well and carry flags, which makes for an attractive presentation. Disease tolerance is moderate for both rust and Stewart's wilt. Sow in blocks once the soil is warm and expect tender, sweet ears early in the season.
