This corn variety can also be coined “Trail of Tears” corn, as its seed was brought by the Cherokee to Oklahoma in 1839. This variety is sought after for historical purposes and for food grains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMinimum 10 Seeds   Non GMO.\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 110 Days to harvest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e♥♥♥ Planting Instructions ♥♥♥\u003cbr\u003ePlant in full sun in highly fertile, well drained soil with a 6.0 to 6.8 pH.\u003cbr\u003eSweet corn will prefer rich soil with high nitrogen and plenty of moisture.\u003cbr\u003eSoil should be amended prior to planting with aged manure or rich compost.\u003cbr\u003eThe ideal spot to plant corn would be in the same plot that yielded a healthy bean or pea crop the year before--these crops contribute the needed nitrogen to the soil.\u003cbr\u003eCorn is wind pollinated and, especially for smaller plots, should be planted in blocks, rather than long rows.\u003cbr\u003eSeeds should be planted 2-3 per hole, about 1-2 inches deep.\u003cbr\u003ePlantings should be approximately 12-15 inches apart, and rows should be 30-36 inches apart.\u003cbr\u003eIf more than one seed sprouts from a single planting, they should be thinned to the strongest sprout.\u003cbr\u003eShorter varieties can be planted closer, and sweeter varieties should be planted shallower.\u003cbr\u003eWater plots well after planting and keep consistently moist through germination and harvest. As weather becomes warmer, increase watering. Sufficient moisture is crucial for plants to develop and produce properly.\u003cbr\u003eCorn should be fertilized with a nitrogen rich food when plants are about 12-18 inches high and weeds should be controlled so they do not steal moisture and nutrients from your crop. \u003cbr\u003eCorn will produce a fairly shallow root system, so care should be taken not to damage it when removing weeds. Weed control in corn plots is best achieved by a thick mulching, which also helps to maintain moisture.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tradeglobalinvestorus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53781835251896,"sku":"AXYJ69Q","price":1.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/1108\/6264\/files\/Output_155.jpg?v=1784341765","url":"https:\/\/tradeglobalinvestorus.com\/products\/cherokee-white-eagle-corn-seeds-nc-heirloom-corn-seeds-non-gmo-vegetable-gardening-grow-your-own-food","provider":"Tradeglobalinvestorus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
