| Best case: Stowells Evergreen has a longer maturity date than Golden Cross Bantam so pollination may not overlap. Worse case: If cross pollination does occur you may get some bicolor ears. Will not be detrimental to eating quality. Successfully transplanting with out disturbing the roots will be the bigger problem. |
