Honey select corn code#

International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants.American Dream, 77 days (2018 AAS winner).For example, Xtra-Tender 282A would have maturity of about 82 days.

Honey select corn series#

Note: Some Xtra-Tender varieties have a series number that indicates the approximate days to harvest, indicated with dd in the numbers below. Therefore, mechanical picking is not recommended.ДЄs with other supersweets, these varieties must be isolated from su, se and sy types pollinating at the same time to prevent starchy kernels. The augmented supersweet varieties have tender kernels like the se varieties. The Mirai varieties for example have sh2, se and su genes in all kernels. These varieties have 100% of the kernels containing the sh2 gene, but also have se and su genes in some portion of the kernels. Varieties of the augmented supersweet type combine multiple gene types on top of sh2.

Honey Select, 79 days (2001 AAS winner).

However, a common trait of all sy types is that isolation from other su and se varieties pollinating at the same time is not required, though isolation may still be recommended for maximum sweetness. There is an increasing number of brand names and trademarks that cover specific genetic combinations under this general type.

The first varieties developed of this type have 25% sh2, 25% se and 50% su kernels on the cob but now different combinations are possible. Synergistic varieties combine differing genetics on the same ear.

How Sweet It Is, 85 days (1986 AAS winner).

Early Xtra Sweet, 70 days (1971 AAS winner).

The name derives from the shrunken, shriveled appearance of the dried kernel which is low in starch. Less hardy than even se types, requiring higher germination temperatures, precise planting depth and isolation from all other corn pollen for optimum results. Supersweet or shrunken-2 types have four to ten times the sugar content of normal sugar (su) types and with proper handling is able to be stored for up to 10 days.

Silver King, 82 days (se version of Silver Queen).

The husked ears of three cultivars: pictured left to right are 'Ruby Queen', 'Painted Hill' and 'Bodacious'. Some seed catalogs don't distinguish the heterozygous se (one se parent) and homozygous se (two se parent) varieties, but if they do, the homozygous se varieties will be labeled either se+, (se se) or SE. Does not require isolation from su pollen, although it is preferred. Is known as a 'tender' kernel and as such does not lend itself to mechanical handling.

Double Red, 80+ days (open pollinated, white turning dark red at maturity) Д¬ontains even more sugars in relation to starch than su types, and as such is able to retain sweetness for 2 to 4 days with proper refrigerated handling.

Black Mexican/Aztec, 76 days (heirloom, open pollinated, white turning blue-black at maturity).

Wild Violet, 75 days (purple-white bicolor).

Painted Hill, 75 days (open pollinated, mostly white turning various pastels at maturity).

Triple Play, 70 days (open pollinated, white-yellow bicolor turning partially blue at maturity).

Hookers, 70 days (open pollinated, white turning blue at maturity).

Multicolored varieties are usually at their sweetest when the mature color just starts to 'blush' on the kernels.

Double Standard, 73 days (open pollinated).

Ears may then be picked for a month or more, hence the name evergreen.)

However, before the killing frost entire stalks may be harvested, including the partially mature ears, and hung in a barn or shed.

Honey select corn full#

In northern climates or higher altitudes, this variety may not reach full maturity in the growing season.

Stowell's Evergreen, 98 days (heirloom, open pollinated.

Country Gentleman, 92 days (heirloom, shoepeg type, open pollinated).

Luther Hill, 82 days (heirloom, open pollinated).

Martian Jewels, 80+ days (open pollinated, unusual purple stalks and cobs).

True Platinum, 80 days (open pollinated).

Golden Cross Bantam, 85 days (Introduced in 1933, this became the first widely grown hybrid sweet corn for both home gardens and commercial growers).

True Gold, 80+ days (open pollinated selection from Golden Jubilee Hybrid).

A number of 'improved' strains exist with 12 or more rows of kernels on the ear) The original strain is now often called 'Golden Bantam 8 Row' to indicate it has 8 rows of kernels on the ear. Introduced in 1902, this became the first widely grown yellow variety.
