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

        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.
