A four to six foot tall corn that produces 1-2 ears per stalk of deep rosy pink colored kernels. 100-130 maturity, depending on your location. Seed originated originally from Little Black Snake, a Cornplanter Seneca who had collected seeds from the Cornplanter peoples and given them over to Quakers who had joined in their legal fight to save their homeland along the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania from Army Corps of Engineer destruction. The Corps went behind the treaty and destroyed their lands anyways, leaving them broken and causing the tribes to leave to the reservation on New York. Used for grits, mush and hominy. The beautiful color is surprisingly well preserved in the meal and grits and also has a sweet taste similar to maple syrup.
