A series of eight films exploring America and its botanical history.
A city on a mound in St Louis and a multi-storey apartment block 1.000 years old in New Mexico are two stops on a journey in which David Bellamy looks at one of America's great success stories. Corn-on-the-cob, the fruit of the maize plant, is an important part of today's diet but what part did it play in the early history of America?
