Chapalote "Pinole Maiz"

ZP090

Zea mays. A stunning corn variety that at one point was widely grown from southern Arizona to Sinaloa, Mexico. One of the most ancient races of corn. A gorgeous deep brown corn, ranging to a light tan color. Small-kernels, with slender ears. Plants are very tall (ca. 10-12 ft) and late-maturing. Makes a sweet meal excellent for pinole. Can also be popped. A staff favorite and top seller! From our Seed Bank Collection.

Adapted to southern latitudes and has a long growing season; be aware it may not perform well in northern climates.
Origin: low desert, 623' elevation
Seed Saver Size available, contains info sheet on corn pollination and seed saving
Limit 3 packets.

A Most Unusual and Rare Find in Corn

This review is being given prior to growing Chapalote "Pinole Maiz". From the start, I'm excited by the unique brown color, versatility and fact of being a Native heirloom available for growing and maintaining. Grateful for the opportunity to grow this beauty.
