yard grown corns look too short

10 years ago

There is no extra-fertilizer used. The location has a little too much shade. Now, the corns have started to flower on top, but they are still very short - about 1 meter or 3 feet.

Hmm, will they produce any viable corn in the fall?

Some hybrids don't grow very high, check your seed package, it should tell you how high it grows.

If the stalks are skinny and the leaves not very deep green, don't get your hopes high for a good harvest.

In addition to knowing what variety it is, it would help to have a closer view of the corn that way we could tell better if its stressed or deficient in some way.
