Description

Fisher’s Earliest Corn is an heirloom sweet corn variety valued for its exceptionally early maturity and dependable production. This classic variety produces compact ears filled with tender, sweet kernels, allowing gardeners to enjoy fresh corn earlier in the season than many standard varieties.

Having come from Belgrade, Montana, it is well-suited for shorter growing seasons and cooler northern climates. Fisher’s Earliest is prized for its reliable performance and old-fashioned sweet corn flavor. The manageable plant size also makes it a practical choice for smaller gardens.
