"I have grown Early Choice for over ten years now and I have to highly recommend it. I usually can't wait to taste my first ear of sweet corn of the summer and this variety is the one that provides this. The stalks are vigorous and generally produce only one medium sized ear per plant, plus maybe a nubbin ear on the stronger ones. The taste is as good as any main season variety, far better than Early Sunglow. The ears shown in the catalog can be obtained, but only under absolutely ideal conditions. The maturity is from 60-72 days depending on the weather. Often it will mature before the European corn borer moths can get to it! This variety can be planted more closely spaced, but too close together will decrease ear size. Early pollen depletion is a mild problem that can be prevented by planting a regular later variety at the same time, next door, as I do. If you want a better corn crop, plant a larger, later variety, but this one is absolutely perfect for an early corn. In NC I can get two crops of this variety per season grown on the same land."
