Late Shot is selected for very late maturity and good standing ability.
It produces an immature cob that only develops to the 'bright white' stage under normal UK autumn and winter conditions.
Due to the late cob formation it tends to be of less interest to rats and badgers that can decimate more mature cobbed varieties through the shooting season.
