- Species and varieties: Strawberry corn (Zea mays var. rugosa) is a unique variety of corn known for its small, red, strawberry-shaped ears. It is a type of ornamental and popping corn, often used for decoration and popcorn.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Strawberry corn is typically an heirloom variety, meaning it has been passed down through generations without genetic modification. Heirloom seeds are valued for their historical significance and genetic diversity.
- Pruning and training: Strawberry corn does not require pruning or training. However, it is important to ensure proper spacing (about 8-10 inches apart) to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Fertilization needs: Strawberry corn benefits from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and again when the plants are about knee-high. A nitrogen-rich fertilizer can promote healthy growth. Organic compost or well-rotted manure can also be used to enrich the soil.
- Hardiness zones: Strawberry corn can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 3-11. It is a warm-season crop that requires a frost-free growing period.
- Climate requirements: Strawberry corn thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It requires a growing season of 85-100 days with temperatures between 60-95°F (15-35°C). Adequate moisture is essential, especially during the germination and early growth stages.
