Seed Source: Donated by private donor.
Comments:
2014 Excellent dried and fresh use. Fresh are a complex sweet flavour, and completely stringless, even when much larger than other beans. Very large vine, I clocked approximately 6" of growth per day during the height of growing season, which slows down once fruit sets. Vines easily get to 15ft, probably will reach 20ft in a longer season, so good strong trellising is required. Pods are green splashed with purple, and grow approximately 8-10" long, containing about 8 seeds per pod.
