Glass Gem

3- to 8-inch ears are obviously decorative, but edible and delicious as well as popcorn or ground into meal. Sturdy plants reach to 9 feet tall. May throw sideshoots where the season is long enough. Bred from a number of Native varieties by Carl “White Eagle” Barnes, the famous Cherokee corn collector to whom we owe our gratitude for his life’s work of collecting, preserving and sharing so many Native corn varieties.
