  Maize didn’t evolve naturally, we created it. Teosinte on the other hand is generally eaten and shat back out before germinating

  wait, you can’t just bury an old ear of corn, you gotta take the husk off? TIL

    I have no idea, but I would imagine if you bury if it could maybe still work. Not on its own though. The ear isn’t a seed though. It’s a large cluster of seeds. The natural ancestor corn evolved from looks more like wheet, but obviously still not like the wheet we know.

      i was thinking more “you’re burying the entire fruit” than “you’re burying a single seed” but i didn’t make my assumptions clear.
