From Seminis, which describes as follows: "Sweet Talk is a high quality yellow Sh2 for the fresh market. It has an outstanding yield potential with a high percentage of marketable second ears. It has 84-day maturity, good dark-green husk color, good cover and tip fill. The ear length is about 7.5 inches with an average row count of 16-18. "
