Cherokee White Eagle produces beautiful white and blue kernels on 7”-10” ears. It makes superb corn meal or can be used as roasting ears if picked young. This great Cherokee variety gives good yields on sturdy stalks. Some kernels have eagle-like markings on them, hence the name. Very rare and hard to find!
