Crockett is a filet bean. Pods are very slender, but can reach 6 inches in length. Good disease package (Intermediate resistance to BCMV (BV-1 and NY 15), Bean Rust, Halo Blight (race 2) and Curly Top Virus.) We have had a very unusual spring colder than normal in March and April, much hotter than normal in May and June. Crockett did not perform as well as expected. It seems more heat intolerant than standard snap beans. Second trial in 2019 did not fare any better. Not suited for this area.
