Corn stalk with its tassels.
The corn 🌽 cob with its corn kernels start developing after the silks form...if conditions are ideal for the corn to develop.
If not then the corn 🌽 might not develop at all, or be underdeveloped...have a few corn kernels on the cob. The corn 🌽 cobs might be smaller in size.

| Silks on a cornstalk. |
The silks are pollinated by ants and the wind.
Some gardeners hand pollinate. |

| A Tassel removed from the other tassels on the silks. |
Hand pollinating is when a tassel
is removed from the tassels that
have developed on the top
of the cornstalk.
The removed tassel is rubbed on the silks
that had developed on the lower part of the cornstalk.

Picture shows a removed tassel touching silks on a cornstalk. Rubbing the tassel on the silks is known as hand pollinating. |
