Detailed Information
Corn (Zea mays subsp. mays), including the ‘Jackpot’ variety, originated in **Mexico**. More specifically, the Balsas River valley in southwestern Mexico is considered the birthplace of corn.
While ‘Jackpot’ is a modern hybrid variety, its genetic ancestry traces back to this region. Plant breeders have taken advantage of the genetic diversity found in ancient corn varieties from Mexico to develop modern corn like ‘Jackpot’. Therefore, while ‘Jackpot’ can be grown in many regions today, its genetic roots are firmly planted in Mexico.
