South American Popcorn is an open-pollinated, heirloom popcorn variety that was introduced in 1931. This is a yellow popcorn variety that produces mushroom-shaped popcorn once popped. This popcorn has been a favorite by many for years due to its buttery flavor and texture when popped.

South American Popcorn produces strong stalks on 5' tall plants with an excellent root structure. This helps to keeps the plants standing during high winds and heavy precipitation. Each stalk produces 2-3 ears which are 6-9" long. The husks will open when the corn matures, preventing any mold issues on the top of the ear. Some growers have reported yields close to 1 lb of kernels per stalk.

Popcorn should be planted in the spring after the last frost date. Corn can be grown throughout the warmer months up until fall, as long as time is permitted for harvest before the first frost. Succession planting is recommended with at least two plantings, one in early spring and one in late summer/early fall. Corn earworm pressure will be greater in the warmer months, but this can be alleviated by applying spinosad to silks and tassels once they appear.

We recommend planting South American Popcorn using a walk-behind planter like our Hoss Garden Seeder. Once plants emerge, thin plants to 8-12" depending on adequate irrigation. If drip irrigation is used, in-row spacing may be as close as 8". If water is scarce, the wider in-row spacing will be necessary. For pollination purposes, corn should be planted in a square plot with rows on 30-36" spacing. Planting a few long rows will result in poor germination and the absence of kernels on the cobs.

Warming Up to My New Mug Warmer
Color: Black
I keep mine next to my computer monitor so I always have that quick caffeine jolt nearby. The three temperature settings are convenient and the LED readouts ensure your brew is as hot as you want it to be. Not sure about reviews saying this warmer makes drinks lukewarm because it doesn't. In fact, it can be used to reheat drinks in just a few minutes. I also like that it's a 120v plug-in and it's not the weak, slow, and temperamental USB powered one. One tip: The on-off switch is on the underside of the warmer. It must be depressed for it to power on. If the red LED doesn't indicate the temperature, then the warmer is not on (or the button is broken). You don't have to turn the unit over either to press the power button, just press down on your mug until the temperature LED turns on. The other hint is that this warmer can get very hot very quickly. While the edges stay cool to the touch, never touch the outlined hotplate area or you might get burned. Wait for it too cool down or use a pair of oven mitts---it's that hot.

Almost started a fire
Color: Black, Color: Black
This item malfunctioned, a stack of papers about five pages was accidentally placed on top of it, and nearly started a fire. there should not be any heat from this unless there’s something having enough weight engage the heat plate. The paperwork was accidentally set on top of the hot plate, but definitely not heavy enough to engage, and the heat plate is no longer working unless I push down with my hand, a coffee cup is not heavy enough to engage it now so something has malfunctioned . I purchased this last spring and I am no longer eligible for a replacement or refund and just about burned down my office

It works great
Color: Black
It has three heat settings. I like my coffee very hot and its perfect for that. It blinks when it’s turned off and still hot. It’s also durable. If it falls of my coffee table it won’t be damaged. Also not expensive.

Great gift!
Color: Light Blue
I bought these for teacher appreciation gifts and the recipients loved them! The light blue ones just add a pop of color and I’ve been told they keep their coffee warm ALL day. What a sweet treat for deserving educators. I plan on buying one for my desk!
