Popcorn (Zea mays var. everta)

Tom Thumb

A very early popcorn variety. Small plants, only about 110 cm tall with 10-13 leaves, with 1-2 cobs that are 8-11 cm long with 12-16 rows of rather small kernels. Can be grown with tight spacing (20-25 cm between plants). 85 days (115 days from sowing to harvest in Sweden). The kernels are rather small, but pop well.
