I tried these because a friend had recommended them. I was not impressed. The corn produced is not as sweet or as good as some of the hybrids available at any store for less than half the price and no shipping. In addition, the plants were less pest resistant and had weird genetic anomalies which caused them to produce far less. Many stalks didn't produce any. Some produced corn kernels on the tassles, which was weird. Some produced super small, stunted ears. Just not a good hybrid, although my understanding is that it is the prototype of all current hybrids, so maybe they're just improvements over this one and this one is just better left in the history books.
