Toconjoin - corn - 180RW
Details
This mass crossing carried out Richard Watson used Early Gem, Golden, Bantam and as many F1 hybrids as possible, also added was another corn mix first grown back in 2001 by Peter Clarke, he had done likewise in mixing up many cultivars. Named Toconjoin as of 14/2/2023, this new landrace cultivar will continue to evolve similar to pre-1700's seed saving through the introduction of other cultivars once every 3-4 years. Over 200 plants are first used to achieve as much cross pollination as possible. The photo shows a selection of the best cobs from that 2020/21 crop. During the growing season of 2020/21, one singe plant produced slightly purple kennels, those seeds were separated and grown 2021/22, this crop went on to produce around 10 plants with white kennels.
2025 update - This line of sweet corn has now mostly stabilized into producing white cobs as seen in the second photo. The sweetcorn flavour has been retained through each of the grow out years, and remains with the white corn also.
