D kaki is a subtropical tree thus stratification is unnecessary.
D virginiana needs stratification according to litterature. But my last sowing germinated fairly well without any stratification.

Made by Bill Tracy, a well know scientist in the scope of sweet corn breeding. His chapter about sweetcorns in Specialty corns is very informative concerning the origin of sweetcorn and genotypes used in commercial sweetcorn. Amazing to see detasseling tractor at work

[/a] says that " All kernels produced on an ear of corn would be expected to have the same pericarp color." I suppose this is the same for endosperm color so why the Oaxacan green corn does not have uniform green color kernels (as you can see in my picture below) ?[/quote] Salut André Pericarp is maternal tissue. Thus genetically defines only by the genotype of the corn plant bearing the ear. Endosperm results from the fecondation of two female nucleus by pollen nucleus. Thus endosperm color is governed by male and female genotypes. Typical example is bicolor(white-yellow)ear = xenia effect. Moreover pigments can also accumulate in aleurone. As the endosperm is triploid, the intensity of color varies with the genotype (yyY, yYY, YYY). Already three shade with only one gene... Add colors of aleurone and pericarp... and heaps of colors appear

This solanum seems very interesting. I'm curious to enjoy it. Here, no problem with high temperature. Usually temperatures higher than 80F are uncommon (only one day during June). Is this plant sensitive to disease like mildew?

My sweet corn (F1 Double red x Mirai white)sown two months ago has only one feet of height because of the cold spring of this year. Hoping for a "hot" summer...
