  • Posted by DonShirer (Westbrook, CT - Zone 6a) on Dec 14, 2016 7:00 AM concerning plant:
    Stringless pole bean with good taste both when picked young or allowed to grow past 9" long. Kept producing over a long season. 7ft tall. This year a growing tree started shading my usual bean area and the production went down. May have to lose the tree or move the bean trellis.
