Let us know if you find where to get hold of it. I'm looking for a deep-rooted dry climate corn to do some selective breeding with since water is becoming so scarce. So far Navaho Blue Corn seems to be amongst the hardiest & most deeply rooted - now I need to find a local source for the authentic genetics. |

giant corn deep rooted
wow, almost a dark blue colour, would be interesting to grow some
intermingled in a field with a normal yellow non hybrid and see what the cross pollination would look like. I would love to try it this season if I can get hold of some seeds. Cant order seeds intl - too much hassle to go thru quaranteen. Need to find local source. wrote: On 16 Aug 2006 04:12:17 -0700, "lentildude" wrote: Hi, where did you get the navaho blue corn??
