Concho Brown

Productive late season corn collected by USDA from the Cheyenne tribe in Oklahoma. 6-7' stalks with high vigor and tendency to tiller (2 tillers avg. in my field). 5-8" cylindrical cobs of 8-12 straight rows of grain, 1-2 per stalk. Many kernels flinty, some also floury. Base color of kernels is clear, purple, or blueish with some pink, yellow, or green on occasion; however, most cobs have a strongly red pericarp that gives an overall reddish/orangeish cast over the whole cob. Expression of this is variable; a few cobs do not have red pericarp and the colors below it therefore show through. The cobs in my hand in the online example photo are typical coloration, but in the lower right corner of the photo you can see a purple/clear ear that shows the appearance without the pericarp red.
