a newbie corn question...
I'm growing a small amount of Burpee Early and Often corn. They say
"produces 8" ears continuously throughout the early season, but not all at the same time". Having never seen a stalk of corn in my life--I'm clueless. My largest stalk is throwing out a second stalk at the base. Is this something to be avoided (pinching out)? Does only one ear grow on a stalk? Anyone plant Early and Often?

I'm growing a small amount of Burpee Early and Often corn. They say "produces 8" ears continuously throughout the early season, but not all at the same time". Having never seen a stalk of corn in my life--I'm clueless. Nevr planted that one. Usually continuos ly through the early season just means that the corn does not have uniform maturity.My largest stalk is throwing out a second stalk at the base. Is this something to be avoided (pinching out)? Does only one ear grow on a stalk? Anyone plant Early and Often? DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) A second or third stalk at the base is called a tiller or a sucker depending on your section of the country. They rarely form a usable ear but I for one never pull them although some folks do, There are corns that will bear two ears to the stalk, but many don't so I don't know about yours. |
