Sweetcorn plants can be planted at level 20 Farming to yield sweetcorn: an item used in Cooking.

A nearby gardener will watch over growing sweetcorn plants for 10 jute fibres. Fully grown white lilies in a nearby flower patch will also protect the sweetcorn from disease. Alternatively, a scarecrow may be placed in a flower patch for the same effect.

Sweetcorn gives 17 XP when planted and 19 XP when harvested. They take 1 hour to grow. Diseased sweetcorn may be restored with plant cure or the Lunar spell Cure Plant.

9 sweetcorn is needed to protect growing apple trees.

Average harvest yield

Sweetcorn has a minimum of 3 harvest lives, increasing by 1 for each tier of compost used (for a maximum of 6 when using ultracompost). While harvesting sweetcorn, there is a chance to not consume a harvest life dependent on the player's Farming level. This chance scales from 34.8% at level 1 to 70.7% at level 99, interpolating linearly in between.

Magic secateurs (equipped or in inventory) increase the chance of receiving additional yield by 10%.

Gielinor's Flora

The plant is described in allotments, Gielinor's Flora volume 4:

Sweetcorn can be boiled, steamed, or grilled whole and predominately acts as a popular side dish. The sweetcorn is in fact made up of many small fruit known as kernels, which are attached to the hard woody central cob. Together the cob and kernels make up an ear of corn. Interestingly, if you were to count the rows of kernels, you'd find that there is always an even number. The ear is covered by leaves called the husk. This acts as protection for the developing fruit. The husk can be removed by hand which is known as shucking.
