Will corn that has been blown over by the wind grow back?

Question

I have a garden and i have some corn in it, we just had a bad wind storm and the corn is bent over.Some stalks are broken i know those wont growbut i dont know about the ones that are just bent the stalks are about 2 feet tall.

Answer 1

I don't know how bad they are bent, but you can try easing them back up and driving re-barb stakes down the side of your corn and tie them together not to tight, and hopefully they will produce. hope this helps!

Answer 2

I grow corn, too.  Back in May a severe windstorm took down five three-foot plants.  They were all horizontal.

I was able to save three of the plants by uprighting them using rocks to press the roots back into the soil.  I also added more soil around the stems.  Corn roots are very shallow and are prone to blow-downs.

Answer 3

Yeah, most should bounce back inside a week.  Corn is essentially a big grass, and unless the stalk is actually notched and bent, rather than the whole thing just blown over, it should right itself.  At least mostly.

Answer 4

i had some corn and they got bend pretty bad and they came  back soo yeah they should come right back up in a week or so if there not to hurt

Answer 5

We always seem to have a huge wind storm whenever the corn reaches about 5 feet tall in our garden....what we do is straighten them back up and then stake them using a bamboo rod. This hold the stalks upright until they have a chance to re-root themselves.
