Question
Mike Hi---You know those little tiny things that look exactly like an ear of corn? What exactly are they and how do they grow?  Thanks  Don

Answer
Don, I'm assuming you're referring to miniature or ornamental corn.  These are hybrid varieties where the growth gene has been altered to result in ears that are often less than 4" in length.  They are served in Chinese dishes and stir fry meals.  They grow on stalks exactly like regular corn, but are picked very young before the husks actually mature.

I hope this answered your question.  Please write again if I can ever be of assistance.

Regards,

Mike.
