Overview
Accord is a homozygous se bicolor hybrid from Mesa Maize (2002) maturing in about 78 days. Plants are vigorous and clean, and the blunt-ended ears measure around 8 1/2 inches with 16 to 20 rows of kernels. The breeder notes wide adaptation and excellent aging quality, meaning ears hold their eating quality if picking is delayed a few days. A good mid-season choice for gardeners who cannot harvest on an exact schedule.
