I am interested in locating an old

: old corn variety called Hickory Cane Corn I understand that it was grown in the mountain regions of Kentucky. Tennessee, Georgia, and possibly other locations.

: I am posting a description of it I found on the internet some time ago. If you grow the Hickory Cane Corn or know some one who does I would appreciate your contacting me.

: Corn I found on the internet.

:
: COUNTRYSIDE: I have been searching

: for several years for Hickory Cane

: (not Hickory King) corn. It was a

: favorite of old timers in this area

: and was prized as a sweet corn,

: creamed corn, hominy and particularly

: for white corn meal. Turns out one of

: my elderly neighbors had been growing

: it from seed he has been keeping from

: each harvest, having acquired it from

: his parents.

: Hickory Cane produces a very tall

: (sometimes up to 12' or more) stalk

: which supports the height well. It

: produces a very large ear 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.
