SWEETCORN HICKORY KING (DENT CORN)

Hickory King Corn (Dent Corn) Matures in 115 days Considered the best variety for hominy because the skin of the kernel is easily removed by soaking. Also good for grits, corn meal and flour. Makes a nice roasting corn (the old fashioned way of eating corn on the cob). This variety grows extremely tall with stalks reaching 12 feet. Some people use this variety for providing support for pole beans. Produces about 2 ears per stalk. Ears have very large flat white kernels. Husks are tighterthan most varieties and give excellent protection from beetles and earworm. Has good tolerance to northern leaf blights (H. turicum) and southern leaf blight (H.maydis).
