This is an important open-pollinated corn variety for those who are serious about the ethos of organic farming and gardening. Plant breeder and farmer Jonathan Spero from Lupine Knoll Farm has developed this sweet corn variety for seven years, and the result is an extremely productive, sweet and vigorous open pollinated corn. Here’s Jonathan’s description of his variety: “Zanadoo has a mixture of white and yellow kernels and we are finding this bi-color is promising to be a little sweeter than the single color white Anasazi cross corn. 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.”
