Delicious sugary-enhanced sweet corn from organic farmer/breeder Jonathon Spero. An open pollinated bi-color sweet corn with good ear size, organic adaptation and real sweetness. About 82 days to maturity with mostly 14 rows of big deep kernels on 7 1/2" long, wide diameter cobs. Robust flavor, long husks give good ear protection. 2 ears per 6 1/2' tall plant. Selected to produce without high fertility levels and without coddling. In short supply due to Mr Spero's untimely death last spring. We are pleased to make his legacy available in the form of this outstanding corn variety.
The Open Source Seed Initiative exists so that breeders who originate new varieties can protect them from exploitation and patenting by corporations. It means that the breeder has freely given up patent rights in order to keep the variety in the public domain forever. The OSSI pledge reads: "You have the freedom to use these OSSI-pledged seeds in any way you choose. In return, you pledge not to restrict others' use of these seeds or their derivatives, by patents or other means, and to include this pledge in any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives."
