Cappuccino Bicolor Sweet Corn

Farmer Hannah Hamilton asks, “Who is this barista-gone-corn-breeder?” The answer is Seneca Vegetable Research of Hall, NY, breeders of eastern-adapted cultivars. However, we can’t figure out the Starhusks-themed variety names either (see also Espresso , Cafe and Latte ). With its strong flavor and performance, Cappuccino moves into the slot abandoned by old favorite Lancelot. Large full sweet tender creamy kernels announce peak corn season has arrived. The well-filled 8" blunt ears appear overloaded with 14–16 rows. In the 2016 drought, the sturdy thick stalks on the 6–7' plants proved stress tolerant, allowing extended picking and second ear production. Rest assured we aren’t gentrifying the corn patch—we’re just looking for the tastiest ways for you to spend your Cornbucks.
