[quote user="bibbster"]Funny, we planted a garden last year and had corn that was much taller than me, I'm 6'-2". An internet search said, "When the entire plant is chopped and fermented to produce silage, a tall stalk is desired. The height may reach 14 to 16 feet. Field corn plants raised for the production of corn ears usually are somewhat shorter, with stalks up to 12 feet tall." So maybe those 1/64 scale plants are not that far off after all. lol <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] The exact article you are quoting says the average is 8ft.  Which is what I recall from where I grew up.  Corn usually grew to 8-10ft tall.  Climate plays a part in this.   <a href="http://homeguides.sfgate.com/tall-corn-plants-get-55524.html">http://homeguides.sfgate.com/tall-corn-plants-get-55524.html</a> The height might not be out of scale for corn growing in good soil in warm climate, but the leaves and ears(could not tell if those where on the model) would be out of scale.   Thank you for your suggestion though. They are nice looking plants, just not what I need (they would be planted near the back of a 32 inch wide module, where their tall height would have the opposite effect of what I am going for).  The 1" plants might be do-able.
