I've seen Hickory Cane corn listed as 120 DTM...a bit long for colder zones. It also should be mentioned that it is slightly comparible to old time sweet corn in the milk stage and must be eaten right away if that's your intention. In the old days it was used as an all around corn. Some say it was bred to an unknown old time white sweet corn to produce Hickory King. This is a Southern heirloom.
