Great Flavor
This green corn has terrific flavor when made into hominy or used for green tortillas. It makes the best tortilla chips we've ever eaten!

OAXACAN GREEN
THE OAXACAN GREEN GREW WELL FOR US IN ZONE 6B. ALL OTHER CORN VARIETIES PLANTED IN 2020 HAD STUNTED HUSKS; PROBABLY FROM INTENSE HEAT AND WIND. THE OAXACAN GREEN DID NOT LEAVE EARS EXPOSED AND IN MY OPINION IS VERY DROUGHT TOLERANT. PLANTS GREW TO 6' TALL BEARING 1-2 EARS PER STALK RANGING BETWEEN 6" & 8". 100% GERMINATION RATE WAS NOTED.
