Searching for Hickory Cane Corn

VGary · July 24, 2009

Searching for Hickory Cane Corn seed to grow at several historical sites I provide seed/plant varieties. This is suppose to be different from Hickory King Corn. I have been unable to locate a source.

Hickory Cane Corn is typically eight rows of very large kernels, some as big as a thumb nail. At one time it was grown extensively in the Appalachian Mountain regions for white corn meal, hominy and shine (as it had a higher sugar content than field corn).

Sandhill also lists a Chickasaw Hickory Cane, but they're out of stock for 2009.

There's is an ad posted yesterday on craigslist offering Hickory Cane corn for sale in Knoxville, TN. No one's name was mentioned in the ad but there was a phone #(865)660-4215.

Hope this helps,
