Serendipity

82 days Serendipity was the first of the TripleSweet® family of products, and features all the tenderness and sweetness associated with the name. This sweet corn’s kernels fill to the tip and are well covered by the husk. It is ideal for the roadside market, and is rivaled only by the other members of the TripleSweet® family. Serendipity produces mouthwatering, tender, bicolor kernels with a perfect balance between sugary sweet and traditional corn flavor. Ears are 8 inches long and well filled. Stalks reach up to 6 feet. Requires the same isolation as sh2 corn. Serendipity is a new bicolour with the very best characteristics of the super sweets: it is slow to get starchy after it is picked and it has the tender sweet kernels of the sugary enhanced (SE) types. Kernels run in 16-18 rows, on a slender 20cm (8") long cob, with a mid-green husk colour. The tender kernels probably cannot handle machine harvest so this variety can only be hand picked, for great taste at the roadside stand or your garden. A very tall plant, it holds the cobs up for easy picking. •    Texture and flavor of an se spiked with 25% supersweet kernels •    Extended holding ability •    Flexible harvest schedule •    Potential as a local shipper Go to table of corn varieties
