Luther Hill (Zea mays): Originally from SESE, it's an easy keeper (I haven't noticed any exceptional nutrient needs - fed only compost tea this season), has been fairly productive, and has the BEST taste! It's sweet and buttery - by far the best sweet corn I've ever grown. From a grower perspective, it has had minimal damage from corn earworms....basically, no notes. Pretty small ears.
Germination Rate: 90%
Weight (avg. seeds): 28g (110-210)
Grower: Shelby Mandonado
Water's Edge Farmstead, Asheville, NC
