A pack of 200 seed should sell for about $2.00

Hickory King and Hickory Cane are used interchangeably in the southeast but Hickory King is just one selection of the type. There should be 8 rows of very large kernels on each ear. Ear length should be about 10 inches with a few up to 12 inches. The kernels are rounded with a dent in the end next to the husk. Kernels should be a bright pearly white. There are a couple of "Hickory Cane" types that have blue kernals mixed with the white. Interestingly enough, this corn can be traced back well over 100 years and may have been grown by native Americans in its current form.

I read a 1910 manual on agriculture several years ago that mentioned growing Hickory Cane, Tennessee Red Cob, and Gourdseed corn here in Alabama. Of the above, only Hickory Cane is still commonly available.

If you search online for "Peru Giant Corn", you will find reference to a corn with kernels larger than a nickel. Olaton Gigante is 20 feet tall. There are lots and lots of other unusual corn varieties out there.

For those interested in growing a rare old corn variety called Hickory Cane Corn, I have seed available. I understand that it was grown in the mountain regions of Kentucky. Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Virgina and West Virgina and possibly other locations.

Description of Hickory Cane Corn.
Hickory Cane (not Hickory King) corn was a favorite of old timers and was prized as a sweet corn, creamed corn, grits, hominy and particularly for white corn meal. It makes outstanding Cornbread! Hickory Cane produces a very tall (sometimes up to 12' or more) stalk which supports the height well. It produces very large ears with large white kernels in eight rows. It is fairly drought resistant and stays green much longer than today's sweet corn. It is open pollinated and should not be planted near other varieties (at least one mile isolation). Grown for Fodder originally on the farm for feed and used in cooking Corn Meal, Hominy, and Grits

Hickory Cane Corn $5.00 Per Pound and $5.00 Shipping

Rare Hickory Cane Corn Available

Everyone I have talked with who grew up growing/eating this variety have the best of memories! I have been searching for the Hickory Cane Corn for more than three years. You should see faces light up while talking about the good foods this corn made. An example: We were invited to our friend's son's Eagle Scout Awards. There was another young man also getting the award. His father grew up in the mountains of Georgia and I asked if they had grown the Hickory Cane Corn. He excitedly said yes they did and was surprised that I had asked that! Families grew it, saved the seed for the next year, and shared it with family and friends. The "tradition" in the old days was the sharing of seed with newly wed couples.

I am looking for some Hickory cane field corn (not hickory king). If anyone knows where I could find some I would greatly appreciate it. I am will to buy it from you for a fair or alittle more price and pay for the shipping. Email is msg0380yahoo.com
